Welcome to Litsy!

Some books just feel like magic, and for me, this is one of them (among the likes of Where The Heart is, The Help, and Practical Magic). I think what makes the magic is the author's ability to fully immerse the reader's senses in her descriptions of the setting, and to make the reader fall so in love with the characters. This one is going in my top 10. 🥰

A tale of a little girl making sense of her mother's passing, dealing with an abusive father, and making unexpected friendships.

3.5⭐️ Was a #bookclub selection for May that I was unable to get to, but managed to read it now and I really enjoyed it. It has some dark elements to the story, but I thought it was quite good and glad that I was able to read it. #2024 #contemporary #fiction #bookreview

I think a tasty bagel sandwich with smoked salmon & caper-dill cream cheese with honey-mint lemonade shared with a friend outside in a tiny city garden counts as a #Picnic 🧺🍋🌱🍯🐝💛

That scene in the tagged book inspired me several years ago for my virtual foodie book club.

For this one, if I‘ve read even one of the books in the series, I‘m counting it! Nevertheless, my score is 32/100.

I want to read (among others) the tagged book and to finish Emma already (currently 43%).

I totally forgot to post last night! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #two4tuesday
Thanks again @julieclair for the tag!

1. The tagged book was great! But I‘m reading Daughter of the Pirate King right now and really loving it!
2. A couple - Canadian Boyfriend and The Heart Principle.

This was such a lovely book.
