Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this one. Maybe it‘s because I grew up in the same place as Lynn Cody. I found it so very relatable. Right down to the Pavlovian reaction everyone has to a cup of tea. I loved the story, too. I think this is my favourite book of hers.

#bookmail My hubby went to high school with Lynn. I always feel a little connected to “home” when I read her books. And I need a little comfort these days.

No matter where I live, Cape Breton will always be my home.

1. Ruth Reichl, Philippe Gregory, David Sedaris. Queen Elizabeth waved at me once from her car, while I was working. lol
2. I just know my kids are going to have happy lives, because that‘s all I want for them, and I am thankful for that.

I'd already given away so much of Irene. The yard sale had picked the house almost clean of her -- subtracting the lamps, the jewellery, the heavy stacks of hardbound-only books (because Irene always thought paperbacks looked “junky“ on her shelves).

Oh Karen, Karen, Karen. 🤦🏽‍♀️ It was brutal to listen to how dumb she was . . . But I liked the book for the most part.

This novel centers around Karen, who just lost her mother and decides to move back to home to care for her older sister who has severe developmental issues. Cue in Trevor who was a caregiver for Kelli. Trevor tries to worm his was in to this family which leads to the setup for this book.

I expected this book to be a thriller or more high-stakes and it just wasn‘t. The story was entertaining enough, but I just wanted

It was good - I liked it but our in person book really needs to turn the page on reading only psychological thrillers/suspense novels. Still too predictable and I'm getting so tired of reading the same kind of book each month or so.

Okay. I have a hankering for #CanLit instead....I have many, many more to choose from but have narrowed it down to these three. Which do I read first? Asking seriously. Can't cram all into brain at once so I need to know which to start with?
