From the moment of her unexpected birth in 1905 until her death more than 85 years later, Daisy Stone Goodwill experiences all the ups, downs, humor, melancholy, sadness, grief and joy of childhood, young adulthood, marriage, motherhood, widowhood and old age. In other words—a life, lived. This book gave me all the feels.

In 1899, Jeremy is in Rwanda overseeing building a railroad when two lions begin killing the workers (like the Ghost and the Darkness if you‘ve seen the movie or heard about the true story). In 2000, Max, a young woman with Aspbergers, is looking for a plant that could be the basis for a new life-saving drug in the mountains of Rwanda. Their stories are told alternately. And how they are intertwined will come as a complete surprise at the end ⬇️

It‘s been awhile since a publisher has sent a book. Looking forward to reading this one! So far so good. Thank you #Simon&SchusterCanada #canlit

💙 I filed our taxes yesterday. Usually I file in February, but I've just had no mojo this year.

This book was a combination of 9 short stories. I was hooked from the very first one 🥹 Although some were definitely slower and others I wish had an extra 20 pages 🤣 it was a easy to follow and enjoy the stories as you go ❤️

This is my first time making suggestions for Camp Litsy #camplitsy25 I‘ve included 2 Canadian Lit suggestions ‘Lake Burntshore‘ and ‘Julie Chan is Dead‘ 🇨🇦 ‘Second Chance Convenience Store‘ was a best selling novel in South Korea in 2021 and that had me thinking about Butter ( which was odd but I‘m really glad I read it ) and I love a translated novel. ‘Welcome to Murder Week‘ is just a vibe 🤣🤣 I can‘t wait for camp

Here's the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead schedule for the next six weeks, with #LMMJournals, #LMMReread and #LMMAdjacent choices. We'll read the last section of Volume 4 of LMM's Complete Journals over the next two weeks, then Rilla of Ingleside, then Pollyanna.

I've tagged the schedule/announcements list for the group, but all are welcome. If you'd like to be tagged for any/all of the above, please comment!
