Welcome to Litsy!

Found my spot for this rainy day.

I wanted to stay a bit longer in my feelgood-bookish-book-bubble. This one was the next on my shelf. The end felt a bit rushed. But the thing I loved is how a book‘s story is different for everyone who reads it.

This was a book club pick and it took me by surprise, I loved it. It was so much deeper than I expected. Very heartwarming and endearing with a great cast of people who found each other at the right times in all their lives. Book #13 in 2024

Well wasn‘t this just the most wonderful book? This was picked up on a whim from a Valentine‘s Day display at the library. I was there picking up books for our book club and thought this sounded like the sweetest book. Our book ended up choosing it too and I‘ve just finished. #BookClub

I LOVED THE OPENING CHAPTER! The rest was good too but the first chapter had my whole heart. I instantly felt a connection to the main character. The end felt rushed compared to the build up and there isn't a super clear HEA though it alludes to it.

This is a book for book lovers and introverts. A book that makes even the gloomiest of days feel brighter and your heart warmer. It‘s a story of misfits and found family, and is a book that lifts the reader up but also reminds us of the importance of kindness and empathy.

I loved loved loved this book, all of the characters all of the heartwarming moments,the book centres on a book loving librarian thats introverted and quirky like so many of us book people are,it was a delightful read. A bookclub is formed and they share a common bond of their loneliness, regrets about their pasts, their need for true love. I fell in love with all of the characters and it was such a delightful and engaging read.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was an adorable found family book.

This one was slow to build but worth the wait. A quiet librarian in a small town in Idaho lives measured and contained life. What happens when she encounters a grumpy elderly library patron who challenges everything and tells it like it is? So lovely to see a story explore platonic love and connection between a whole group of people-a true found family. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Doublespin

Saturday laps = Saturday reading!

A sweet found family story. Librarian Sloane befriends senior and difficult Arthur at the Library. One day he doesn't show up. She breaks protocol and tracks him down at home. There they strike up an uneasy caregiver/friendship bringing along other lonely book lovers in process. It was cute. 3 stars

Went to the farmer's market this morning to get some fruit and pastries! Got this yummy snow cone too! 😋 Instead of just leaving right after however, I sat with my book in the grass and read for a bit! The market is always at the pavilion in the center of town, and there's always lots of places to sit and relax. @vivastory inspired me to read in public places more often! 🥰 The live music in the background added a really nice ambience!

I enjoyed reading this book. My review of this book is on my blog. Come check it out. https://wwwjustagirlkindleing.blogspot.com/

Enjoying a sunny Saturday 😎☀️

Went to the farmer's market this morning and got some yummy goodies! Also sat for awhile and listened to the live music while reading! 🥰📚

I think this is my favorite #AuthenticBooks box yet! Super cute items, the candle smells great, the bookish socks are great, love the little library bag... *chef's kiss* 📚

This was so reminiscent of Clare Pooley‘s The Authenticity Project.

I‘m a fan of this author‘s cozy series under the name Tamara Berry and this was the same easy reading with some lovely humour thrown in.

I enjoyed this one. Really liked the characters and the way they interacted, challenged, and supported each other. Their found family group was fun to get to know.

When frail but formidable former literature professor Arthur fails to show up to the library as usual, librarian Sloane, who recognizes him as a kindred spirit despite his cantankerousness, correctly guesses that he‘s sick and refusing help. Sloane pushes her way into Arthur‘s home, and his neighbor Maisey, part-time nurse Mateo, and grandson Greg soon follow.

This is a monthly book pick for us and I try to read these as for the most part, our picks are pretty decent. This book is so special. I loved every moment of it. From the characters to the storyline...this book offers all the feels. Solid 🌟🌟🌟🌟 read.

I absolutely loved this book! A wonderful cast of characters. Funny…sad…sweet…all the feels 🥰
