Welcome to Litsy!

This is a story of faith and perseverance. The author included some of the real people (William Bradford and others) from the Mayflower and Plymouth Colony, but the main characters were fictionalized. I love that the author also included some real details from her research. I feel like I learned a lot about the Mayflower‘s voyage, and about the Saints and Strangers that came over from England. (I had never heard those terms before.)

Little disappointed but this was an easy listen. Will give the series one more shot on audio.

While reading this well-written book, I came to a greater understanding of what life was like for the passengers and crew of the Mayflower. They sustained great loss and discouragement. However, with faith, persistence and plenty of hard work, they were able to accomplish much and welcome joy back into their lives. I also enjoyed the sweet and satisfying love story that was woven throughout the book. Well done.

I'd love to meet you here. Tagged book 📖 represents one of the authors we can meet. https://fictionreaderssummit.com/ #frs

so...was this proof read? Yikes!

check out my guest bathroom at my daughter's house ~ she knew I would be exhausted and tense after the long drive (not to mention that I worked 3rd shift last night and slept less than 2 hours before driving 6+ hours). Tonight I used the lavender bath bomb. I read the first 47 pages in complete relaxation!

Picked up my requests from the library ~ got my sleeves & bookmarks picked out .... ready for my mini vacation at my daughter's! #FictionReadersSummit #LargePrint

I'm adventuring on the Mayflower in (one of) my #CurrentRead(s) today, getting to know the Saints, the Strangers, and their hopes for varying types of #Freedom on a different continent. #Riotgrams #ReadingResolutions

Previous Star Wars novels have long established Palpatine (aka the Emperor) as a racist, but Zahn explains here why the Empire harbors hate for non-human races: the Clone Wars, with the Separatists mostly made up of non-humans. Given Palpatine orchestrated the entire war to place himself in power, this explanation makes his and his empire's racist attitudes that much more disturbing. Palpatine's Sith title of Darth Sidious is well-deserved.
