Welcome to Litsy!

Heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. A story of parallel lives after tragedy and how grief pulls at a person.

I have been going through book stacks, bins, etc. & found my long long lost Nook! After I charged it, it‘s working. Apparently I had started this cozy mystery, so I decided to start from chapter 1 & read it. It was published in 2015- could it been ten years since I used this?!😂😂😂

There is a *whole lot* going on in this one - honestly, probably too much and it could've been more tightly edited. That said, I found it to be a pretty compelling read, that I mostly enjoyed.

This book had a lot of potential and started out super promising… however, the amount of tangents it went on was a little too much… definitely a soft pick for me!

Have you read this book yet? It‘s been on my list since it came out and I finally read it this weekend. It‘s so sad and happy all at the same time.

Summer reading book haul! 🤗📚

I found this book compelling and readable full of flawed, but relatable characters. OK, there‘s one character who I think is supposed to be sympathetic but I absolutely couldn‘t stand her. A lot of misery in this story, but you know from the beginning how it‘s going to end and the book is about how everything gets there.

While still visiting Norway and England in other books, today I am concentrating on Costal Maine, the setting of this collection of stories/vignettes by Sarah Orne Jewett, who was a writer much admired by Willa Cather.

I have a lot going on this weekend, but I hope to at least have enough time to finish the #ohcanada pick and #EBBR and #NancyDrewBR . Those are quick ones.

I‘m reading the Sarah Orne Jewett b/c of the podcast “One Bright Book” and it takes time to digest.

The bottom two are also slower for me #hashtagbrigade and #DoorstopKristen #KLBR .
