Welcome to Litsy!

God how I Loved this story, the writing, eh, not so much, but the story 🥰

Annie Freeman wants her five friends to spread her ashes in six places around the country that were significant in her life. And what an absolutely incredible journey this turns out to be!

#ScaryFebruary #Funeral

#ThingsinCommon FIVE STAR PREDICTIONS! ⭐️

I was right about Hook, Line and Sinker, so here‘s to hoping that Annie Freeman is a 5/5 too!

#bookspin #readmyroom

Here is my bookspin list. My plan is to have a better reading month in April.

#sundaysoapbox

My reading tastes are sometimes not really in line with mainstream.

Some I do recommend are:

Annie Freeman‘s Fabulous Traveling Funeral
Dracula
A Walk In The Woods
Ex Libris
I Hate Fairyland
Pumpkinheads
Night
The Snowy Day
IT
What‘s Eating Gilbert Grape
The Gargoyle
To Kill A Mockingbird
Unbroken

Nonfiction and horror are my two favorite genres. I‘ve really come to enjoy horror graphic novels.

A cute book about life, death and the way people cope with it...

Works for me!

1. Tagged - Annie Freeman really helped define friendship.

2. The Greatest Secret - was very philosophical and transcendental - it took me about four chapters to push through and really feel the depth of the book.

I haven‘t played in a bit due to life and surgery, but thanks for always posting @TheSpineView

Day 4 - Love this cover and the book

Is there anyone left to tag? @speljamr have you been tagged? Post 7 covers for the next 7 days that you love. No explanation needed.

These have been on my shopping pile for a while and I finally dusted off the purse strings to get something new.
Sorted is by: Non-Fiction, then General Fiction, and Mystery Thriller. Usually that last stack is biggest.

1. I bought tickets to Waverly Hills for their haunted tour.
2. Tagged
3. Uh - no sports stuff for me - the only thing I might occasionally watch is the Xterra Ironman.
4. All‘s Quiet on the Western Front

Still haven't read this.

Day 1 - #adventrecommends
Annie Freeman‘s Fabulous Traveling Funeral by Kris Radish
This is such a wonderful book. Full of life.

#agameoffavorites #favoritefemaleauthor #krisradish
One of my favorite female authors is Kris Radish. She writes books about women for women. She grew up loving Nancy Drew stories. My favorite book of hers is: Annie Freeman‘s Fabulous Traveling Funeral. This book shows how interconnected our lives and friendships really are. I was lucky to find it and make good book friends.

It‘s #Recommendsday! I‘ve been trying to only read books that are positive and happy lately, and I was worried about this book club read. Grief? Loss? Funerals? Not stuff I want to think about right now! But I was very pleasantly surprised with the heartwarming, uplifting nature of this book. Yes, there is some sadness…but this book helps teach you how to cope with it and work through it. It‘s all about the importance of friendship and kindness.💖

Lying in bed all day, reading and recovering!

#emojinov #🚦Made me think of road trips, and this cute sounding novel from my #TBR that a friend recommended to me recently.... sounds like a good #palettecleanser ... Anyone read it?

Day 23 in #sizzlinsummerbooks is #roadtrip! I bought this one years ago, but it hasn't yet topped my "up next" list... anyone read this one?
