Welcome to Litsy!

Sibling relationships and creative block (like writer's block). The crayons are too new. I love how the illustrator surrounded the character with potential drawings anticipating their creation. The sisters have crayon-names Violet and Marigold.

Saturday morning reading in bed to finish this. Please note the death tower in the background - all unread, not causing me any stress. I wanted to love this book and there are parts that I did, the magic, the sisterhood but the miscommunication went on too long and then wrapped up too fast and the bad guys weren‘t as awful as presented and all I know is it took way too long to finish it when I should have inhaled it 🤷🏻‍♀️maybe it‘s me

I enjoyed this book of connected short stories about two sisters from Hardscrabble Bay, New Brunswick. The stories take place over a span of 70 years and are sort of like Anne of Green Gables or Sarah Plain and Tall but with sex and swearing. So many Littens would love this book. Check it out!

Doubling up on coffee this morning

Absolutely beautiful illustrations and wonderful story.

This was a sweet story of an introverted sister completing her older sister‘s bucket list items after she passes away. The older sister was extroverted & was a social media influencer. A company agreed to sponsor the project if she completed the list and would help pay off the medical bills that were left behind. As the items were checked off she also reconnected with a former boyfriend and a romance developed.

This book was ok for me. I enjoyed digging into the Cold War but didn't find this to be much a spy story. It was an easy read but the characters didn't develop much. More a story about two sisters and the ones husband and how much he likes to drink. The ending also seemed a little too unrealistic for me. I did enjoy the Cold War historical aspects of the book and hope to read more Cold War historical fiction in the future.

5🌟/5🌟

I never want her books to end.
