Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m in the midst of a massive declutter campaign- it‘s taking a long time - it‘s hard to say goodbye to some “things” : I‘ve been listening to audiobooks- I wanted books that were quite light but not too engaging. Pleasant characters with not too much going on -to start the process. These books met the requirements: low picks - I wouldn‘t re-listen to them. 🐉💚

As ever with this author, this book was a gentle, charming read.

Paul and his cousin Chloe are staying in a rural French village with the unlikely distinction of being the home of the second worst restaurant in France. Can Paul become a culinary hero? Can such simple things be considered heroic?

Alexander McCall Smith always paints kindness as a heroic endeavour.

This book is a treat! Paul is a food writer who needs a quiet place to write. His older cousin Chloe offers him the opportunity to share a house with him in a small village in France. The food really is that bad! Paul and Chloe gradually become involved in the drama unfolding in the villagers lives. Hearing Paul‘s POV is sometimes laugh out loud funny. Like all of this author‘s books, we grow to love every character and can imagine the village

Made it up to the family cottage and had a stack of lighter, feel-good (hopefully) books waiting for me. Yay! I‘m in my happy place and I have new books. All is well with my soul.

Haven‘t read one of his books for a long while. I went from enjoying his books to finding them a little bit tedious. This one was enjoyable, light and as usual with his books peppered with little facts and philosophies.
Now on to an Aussie book for this Aussie day Readathon. @ReadingDownUnder #AuDayReadathon
