Save the date, #BetsyTacy fans! The next Betsy-Tacy Convention will be held this year in Mankato, MN in honor of the birthday girl, Deep Valley's Emily Webster! More information to come on speakers, workshops, and activities, but rest assured- if you've never visited Betsy's house, sat on the famous bench, or gallivanted around Lincoln Park (”that pie-shaped wedge!") - you don't want to miss this chance. #BetsyTacyAndTib #MaudHartLovelace

LeahBergen It was SO much fun. There was a terrifying moment when I discovered the house museums would be closed on the weekend I was there but I contacted them and ended up getting a private tour (with some other people who showed up, too). Phew! And I also managed to do some damage in the little gift shop. 😆😆 1w
Andrea313 @LeahBergen Amazing!!!! I'm so glad someone was able to come through and give the tour! ❤️ 1w
MaureenMc My daughter and I are going to try to make it! We were just talking about it again over the weekend. 🤞🤞 1w
Andrea313 @MaureenMc Amazing! Fingers crossed that we meet in Deep Valley! 🤞❤️ 1w

Ordinary Grace: A Novel | William Kent Krueger

#12booksof2024 My first time reading this author. The writing was excellent. It had some flaws with regard to the mystery plot, but on the whole I enjoyed it. The characters were engaging and vivid, and the setting was immersive - a compelling portrait of 1960s small town Minnesota. Read with my IRL book club.

Another Christmas break read in the longer series of Corcoran O‘Connor. I enjoyed this one like I do the others. It had its familiar parts and its own storyline too. I continue to enjoy the character development and general stories. I‘m sure I will continue along in the series.

My second Christmas break book and 13th in this series. It continued the story of Cork O‘Connor as he figures out mysteries in the far northern part of Minnesota. I enjoy the stories and the break from school.

One of the real joys of reading this series is the attention Krueger pays to characters. The lead, Cork O‘Conner is fantastic but so too is his family which features prominently in all of these books. Never more so than in this one which has Cork trying to solve a murder & the same time one of his children is navigating a difficult decision. Another excellent installment which shows how complex it is to be human & care for others.

Virgil Wander | Leif Enger

A delightful, charming book about a man who has an accident that upends his life, which compels Virgil to forge a new and circuitous path to a changed existence. It all takes place in a small dying midwestern town with several endearing quirky characters. It‘s funny and hopeful. Engaging, entertaining, old fashioned storytelling.

Long held secrets intrude on the present in yet another excellent Cork O‘Conner mystery. Cork & his former best friend Jubal go into the mountains to hunt. When the day is over, Cork comes down by himself having watched his friend die, shot through the heart with an arrow…that looks just like one of Cork‘s. Being at the top of the suspect list means Cork has to figure out why someone is trying to frame him for the murder. Excellent.
