Today‘s trip for #LitsySpringBreak is to the Forest.
This historical fiction book is about artist Emily Carr, who lived in & traveled the PNW forests of Canada. At the time the totem poles of the Indigenous people were being torn down by white people in the name of Christianity. Carr saw their beauty & cultural significance. Her goal was to preserve them through her paintings.
🐕 Read in 2018 with my buddy. I miss her so much.

PaperbackPirate @CBee Thank you! I never used this picture because she was so dark, it makes the title disappear. Seeing it now brings back good memories of reading together, and just how cute she could be. 💙 3y
CBee @PaperbackPirate oh, I know how you feel, I really do. I have a little photo corner of the pets I‘ve lost ♥️ I have a chihuahua now - she is cute, but a bit cuckoo 😂 3y
PaperbackPirate @CBee Aw, I love chihuahuas! I grew up with big dogs, but I love those big chihuahua personalities! 😂 3y
CBee @PaperbackPirate I‘ll post a pic of her and tag you! 3y
TheKidUpstairs Sounds like a great read! 3y

This morning I got up, booked an Airbnb, had breakfast while breaking into this newbie and then decided I wanted to curl back into bed to read some more.
The sun is trying and I‘m here for moral support ☀️🌻. #thursdaythoughts #newbooktime

Caryl @LeeRHarry - I love Emily Carr and think she'd make for a fascinating story. Just haven't gotten to it yet. So many books and all. 😊 7y

I bailed on this one. I got 3 discs in and found it hard to get through that much. The historical context and detail is not convincing nor is it present enough of the time. I don't buy the main character at all in the time period for many reasons, some of which are the lack of focus on actually painting or historical context there, the unrealistic conversations for the time, money (in general), etc. Overall I couldn't find a point to the book.
