Welcome to Litsy!

Picked this up at Homestead National Monument in Nebraska. It‘s about a black homesteading family in South Dakota. Terrific.

I haven‘t read this book yet but it‘s been on my tbr for awhile. I‘ve never been to South Dakota but I‘d really love to see the Dignity statue. #traveltuesday

I usually like stories that have multiple plot lines all moving toward each other. In this case, though, there might have been a few too many ideas all trying to make sense together. I really liked the flashbacks into the main characters' pasts, but some of their interactions in the present seemed a bit too forced.

Friday lunchtime I walked to the library to pick up a book I'd reserved: "Due to unforeseen circumstances the library is closed today". Oh well! I pored over my Kindle for something to tide me over: found this Amazon freebie. The poorly written opening paragraph almost put me off reading any further. The promised Bible verses were somewhat of a red herring. I didn't care for the closing scene. BUT it turned out to be quite the wild ride!

This book starts with a woman waking up from a car crash with amnesia, and a vague memory that she should run and keep on running. The book tells her story, along with Ivor, a bar owner accused of a murder in a night he was black-out drunk and Kylie, a detective new to town who is slowly realizing there is corruption under the surface.

My plan for the evening.

The finished Creamy Wild Rice & Salmon Soup. Rich, creamy & really good. It‘s a chowder-ish soup, I tossed together, hearty but not heavy. Link to recipe.👇🏻

Starting another wintery mystery/thriller.❄️I enjoyed the author‘s Annabelle Schwartzman series & I‘m looking forward to this one. #series
