Welcome to Litsy!

I love when they put pictures in a book. Makes my vision of them more realistic.

Started this one on Memorial Day and as it turns out it is about four young men and the military. 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

On this #tradepaperbackthursday, travel to Acker's Gap, West Virginia for two stories—one set in the turbulent era of WWII and one in present day.

So many books, so little time! I think for every book I read, I'm adding at least 3 to my TBR thanks to @Litsy and everyone's recommendations. #augustwrapup @TheSpinecrackersBookClub

One of the reasons I love these books are the insights Keller has about the current state of affairs in small West Virginia towns (and the rest of Appalachia). I enjoyed the mystery, while I was also highlighting passages like this one.

Excited to start the newest installment of one of my favorite mystery series. Bell Elkins is a great heroine - smart, tough, and compassionate. Can't wait to see where this story takes her!

WV native Julia Keller will be at the WV Book Festival in October. It's always a plus to be able to do something "bookish" when I visit my sister! I'm looking forward to the new Bell Elkins book and meeting Julia Keller! The rest of the lineup is pretty good, too!
