Welcome to Litsy!

Found this at a Little Free Library. Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz.

The excerpt on the back called this a psychological thriller, which I disagree with and which made me read with "wrong glasses" - I was suspicious and expecting darkness all the time, which in hindsight I see that made me treat some of the characters unfairly. I enjoyed the storytelling and liked many of the characters, but for me this is probably a one time read.

Been busy redecorating and building new book shelves the past weeks, but now I can finally relax and get some reading done too. 80 pages in and liking this so far.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Ruth remembered drowning.
"'That's impossible, Aunt Amanda said. 'It must have been a dream.'
"But Ruth maintained that she had drowned, insisted on it for years, even after she should have known better."

Rating: 4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review: It was a good book except for the back and forth of 1919 to 2003!!

Starting Book 7 of February and Book 20 of 2020!!

I have no idea how long this has been sitting on my shelf, but since it was written in 2000 it could be quite a while. Overall, it is a well-written story. It explores tragedy, unrealized dreams, and sacrifices people make. It also looks at love and how that affects the characters. It has a timeline that bounces around, and the reader must try to figure out what has happened. I enjoyed it.

Kept trying to guess how the story was going to play out. Was intrigued.

Dont mind my mess!!!! Sooo excited to read these!!!!! Thank you @inthegreensandblues #sss

I picked up a random assortment of books from the thift shop this morning, for $1 each. #thiftstore #bookhaul I'm a cheapskate and a bookworm.

I feel like I was in a bit of a reading slump. I gave it 3 stars because I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it.

After 14.5 years, I had to put my dog down today.

Easter is over... time to catch up on my reading.📖

😐😐😐

Set in 1919, in Wisconsin, a story of two sisters. A huge secret with a surprise ending.

I read this book years ago. A story of sisters and secrets that takes place in the winter of 1919 on a farm in Wisconsin. What I remember about this story is that it was filled with #sorrow . And there was a shocking ending. #septembowie
