Welcome to Litsy!

1. I have an iPhone.
2. Thanks to Libby and the Kindle app, I read a lot of books on my phone. Tagged book was the latest.
#two4tuesday

Three young girls meet at summer camp and become lifelong friends. Years later they team up with the camp director (who happens be the aunt of one of the friends) to try to save the camp from becoming just another housing development. They also encounter secrets, betrayals, misunderstandings, and maybe a little romance. It‘s a little cheesy at times, but I‘m enjoying it so far. #currentlyreading #sundayfunday

Thank you, @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for introducing me to this author. This is the third book I‘ve read by her and it‘s another pick for me.
Friendship, family, love, loss, addiction, secrets and embracing simpler times.

This book also gave me 3 of May‘s #WickedWords which I‘ll post later. @AsYouWish

Hello May.

My current reads. Tagged is SO good. I started it in April but returned it to the library only because I was having trouble holding physical books. My ebook hold came in and now I‘m flying through it.

I‘m so excited for #CampLitsy24 after really enjoying some new books last year. Thanks @Megabooks @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB I‘ll just put this right here so it‘s handy when I‘m out and about, just in case. 😜

I love stories about female friendship, and I mostly liked the friendship of these three women but got frustrated at times with their secrecy from one another. I do want to take “hard things” and use with my besties and sisters!

A sweet book showing the power of decades long female friendships

Well, I didn‘t get the book I went for with my Barnes and noble gift card (Let Us Descend) but I love this author and I‘m excited for this one! The copy of Let Us Descend had a sticker I didn‘t like on it so I ordered it from Amazon 🤷🏻‍♀️

#Booklovers with #BookProblems

This is a nice, uplifting summer read. The women‘s friendships go through ups and downs, but they come out the other side of those problems. It‘s probably the book I needed now given what‘s going on in my life. It was a lovely day — I‘m enjoying the lower temperatures. #audiowalk

I switched from Excellent Women to this because I‘m having trouble concentrating and Kristy Woodson Harvey‘s books are easier to digest. Her characters though often make decisions for idiotic reasons and that‘s happening here too. #audiowalk

Sigh. Multigenerational womens fiction with several POV featuring lifelong friendships, loss, addiction, drama, romance, overcoming, gah.... Just a perfect combination.

I was a little skeptical going in but was soon lost in an enjoyable story.

I normally love a Kristy Woodson Harvey novel, but this one is sounding a whole lot like The Clover Girls by Viola Shipman. That's not a bad thing except, I don't want to read a story I already read.

It is a lovely nostalgic read that brings you to a simpler time while also dealing with tougher stuff. The setting of summer camp is somforting and timely, but it is certainly not a fluffy read. I loved how much summer camp impacted kids, no matter their real home life during the other 50 weeks in a year. It covered some serious themes like addiction, trauma, and death and what you carry with you into adulthood and can overcome.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐬 by 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝗪𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 is an emotional exploration of the strength & resilience of women, & their ability to forge & maintain lifelong friendships, even though tested by secrets, jealousy, & long-held grudges. The characters are believable, as are their personal & professional conundrums as they race to preserve the camp where they made memories.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝗪𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 is a new-to-me author. I received this gorgeous copy of 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝𝐬, publishing July 11, 2023, from the generous folks at 𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴! Temps are going to be 100+ degrees in the next few days, so I plan to spend a lot of time reading by the pool. Based on the synopsis, I doubt I'll have any trouble getting lost in the story for a few hours.

Hmmm sounds many new releases coming out… I can‘t go with just one!! The tagged is high on my list, The Spectator by Fiona Davis, The Beach at Summerly by Beatriz Williams, and In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune!!
