pickWell. I wanted to read this after listening to Books Unbound, my favourite podcast. But it's only available in Canada. I'd asked a Canadian friend to purchase it but she wasn't able to get a second hand copy. Brilliant husband got it for my Christmas present 📦. Thrilled!
Odd story but so readable. I loved the gentle humour throughout and the way it's a novel about writing and effort and rewriting.

Anne of Green Gables is always going to be the first thing associated with L. M. Montgomery, but she definitely wasn‘t a one hit wonder!
pickDefinitely deep in the poetic stream. This does not always lend itself to the full story as I might have chosen to structure this differently- reserving the imagistic for the Vietnam segment so beautifully juxtaposed with the father‘s decline. Ultimately this is a beautiful story of love, family bonds, and events that shape us.

May was another month of less than exciting books, so I pulled my 2nd favorite of December. Octogenarian Etta decides to walk from Saskatchewan to the Atlantic Ocean, leaving her husband Otto behind. He's been overseas for war and understands that she needs this experience. Their neighbor Russell is concerned, both by Etta's decision to leave and by Otto's indifference. Along the way, Etta picks up an unexpected companion in James.

pickLoved settling in and visiting some of my favorite fictional friends ❤️ Book number 14 of the series did not disappoint! It had all the heart and atmosphere I've come to expect. Also, I got to break in my stemless, book spine wine glasses my daughter got me for Christmas🍷
