Welcome to Litsy!

This is a companion novel to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry which I read many years ago. This is Queenie' story.

Here we meet Queenie in the hospice on the last days of her life as she learns that Harold is walking the length of England to see her.

While I don't think this adds anything to the original novel, it is a cute companion if you are wanting more from the characters.

In this companion book to The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, we learn more about the woman who inspired his walk. She's living in a hospice & decides to write out her memories for Harold to read in a letter. From meeting him at work to her unexpected relationship with his troubled son, Queenie's POV unfolds with a quiet, lonely beauty. I loved her description of her sea garden & the unfettered joy she's able to glimpse when David dances.

That‘s today. 🗓️

Is it just me or are romances super long now?

This book is about 2 people helping each other get over the person they‘ve loved for a long time. Fake dating which quickly turns to real dating. Marcela is a librarian, so a lot of great book talk. Marcela also has abandonment issues because he dad left her mom when she was a kid and that affects all her relationships. So she has a lot of stuff to figure out.

This from my TBR looks interesting.

Fun and unexpected, I really enjoyed this fake dating trope that was different than any others I‘ve read. I loved the body positivity, the librarian FMC, and the work that these two do on themselves to make themselves confident and their relationship stronger. All that and spice too! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

This Latina librarian living in San Antonio and living with so many doubts had me wrapped up and falling love from the first word! This steamy, heartfelt debut romance with witty banter and irresistible chemistry just absolutely swept me off your feet.

And Theo…swooooooooooon!! The unplanned, no-strings-attached fling between him and Marcela is
🌶️🌶️🌶️YES PLEASE!🌶️🌶️🌶️ with lots of heat in the library stacks and beyond!

This was an enjoyable rom com. A librarian and a former NFL player agree to fake date in order to attend and get over their crushes' upcoming wedding. Typical sparks fly but I also love the plus-size and POC representation.

Now for something a little different! I can‘t resist library romances.
