Welcome to Litsy!

One of my issues with reading challenges is that the list usually changes before the metaphorical ink is dry. For example, I ended up reading The Spy Coast early, so I replaced it with Road Fever which was rec‘d by a friend after I made the list. There was some cursing involved in making the original collage, so I‘m not updating it! #14books14weeks

Anyway, this was a little dated but informative and interesting (once they finally hit the road).

Current read, next selection for book group. #FirstSaturdayReaders

Yesterday, once we seemed to clear the weather and traffic, I remembered I had this book on my phone from Libby. Good choice for a road trip!

It‘s also a good choice for #hyggehourreadathon because there‘s something very cozy to me about armchair travel.

My husband made chicken cordon bleu for dinner, and it was delicious! Now I‘m settled in with my book and the Yankees-Dodgers on TV. Trying very hard to ignore the news.

1. Trivia last night didn‘t earn us any prizes, but I got a book recommendation.
2. I created my list of 14 books and in the process streamlined my StoryGraph tags.
3. Last Friday: program on aging which included a cooking demo, peonies seen during my walk at the lake, town hall with my congresswoman.
4. She liked my USNA shirt. Annapolis is part of the district as well as where she lives.
5. Cookout on Saturday. More in comments.

My favorite Mother‘s Day gift this year made by my 4 year old at her preschool. 🥰 I hope all the mothers of all walks had a relaxing and loved day. 💛

In 1932, a pregnant Margret Wittmer moved with her husband and young stepson to Floreana, a small island in the Galapagos. They believed that getting out of the city and going back to nature was the only way to cure their sickly child. This is her memoir of how the family managed to survive then thrive on this basically uninhabited (at the time) island. This is a story about strong people who had more courage and fortitude than I could ever have.
