Welcome to Litsy!

Sweet and wholesome short stories about two sisters, their journey back to each other and how they find love along the way. Perfect palette cleansers 4/5

Loved this short story from Alice Hoffman. Lovely store set in a small town with all kinds of love represented and honored. Quick, uplifting read. Available for free from Amazon First Reads. #BookspinBingo

These are lovely short stories. I'm eager to read the third one due out in Feb 2025. ❤️🤓

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 2 of 2024.

A little schmaltzy but Hoffman manages to thaw me in the back half. A sweet short story about family, books, and showing up when it counts. Very Hallmark-core but tis the season. 😂 📖✨💙🐾

5🌟/5🌟

Here‘s my review for a book I just finished reading.

#kindleunlimited

I respect the art of short stories but they always leave me feeling half filled. This one wasn‘t different. I really like it but I wish that it was a full book. Great writing. Likable characters. Wish there was more conflict before the resolution but it‘s a short story.

Short story. Typical Alice Hoffman themes/motifs (sisters, nieces, estrangement, grief). Enjoyable but not really remarkable.

Next Kindle free Amazon read…. Appears to have good reviews

A very sweet, very short story. Free from audible qnd kindle. My first read of this author. She writes beautifully! I will definitely try one of her full novels! Any suggestions where to start?

Sigh! A perfect read, even though a short story. Two sisters separate further and further after their mother and later father dies. Until one day Isabel receives a letter with only the word “help.” I loved this!

Quick read about family, a bookstore and returning home.

When I downloaded this to read, I missed the part where it read "short story". It was a very easy read, filled with redemption, forgiveness and the power of family. It's a free download for Kindle and it certainly did not disappoint

??Happy Reading!??

Finished one book and 3 short stories for #sharreadathon
I really enjoyed the Paris Wife and the short stories were surprisingly good, except Rowell which was just ok.

It was a short story as promised. It was cute and sweet, though nothing memorable.

Getting so much reading done with #JumpStart2023 and #sharreadathon Finished these two short stories this weekend. The Rowell title was just ok but I really enjoyed The Bookstore Sisters.

Meh 🫤

Isabel left her hometown in Maine to live in NYC. Her sister, Sophie, remained in Maine to run their parent‘s bookstore. Their parents are deceased and the sisters don‘t talk. A cryptic message has Isabel returning home. This is a story of going home and the unexpected healing benefits. Hoffman‘s writing is beautiful and her descriptions of each scene were incredible.

I got to a doctor‘s appt this morning to find that the office told me the wrong time on a confirmation call yesterday, so I was 15 minutes late. They told me I‘d have to wait up to an hour before they could work me into the schedule.🙄 And I hadn‘t brought a book.😫 Hoopla & Libby helped me read today‘s #LittleHouse chapter & my Advent devotional, then I found this in my Kindle app—a recent First Reads pick. Bad news: it was disappointing.⤵️
