(thru ch21) Whew, there is a lot more drama than I remember!!! The whole thing with the new books and then them getting destroyed - so many feelings!! And now this stuff with the moonshiners and David trying to prove himself to the men in the community. Whew. I'm loving seeing Christy's friendship with Fairlight grow, though, and Christy's overall attitude towards the community and teaching evolve. Any thoughts or favorite moments to share?
The best part of picking my grandson up from school every day is getting in some reading time while I wait for school to let out.
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

5✨ I laughed, cried, and loved this book. We follow Elizabeth, a cultured East Canada teacher, when gets a position in the frontier to teach a small town that has never had a teacher. Her struggle to hard living is a major learning experience to her. She tries to hold her head high, but what she doesn‘t struggle with is loving and teaching her students. As a teacher struggling myself this was the book I needed. #FoodandLit 🇨🇦
Started out so well. Beautifully emotive setup. Then it just dried up. Slow. The story resolved into two needlessly separated converging arcs.There was a good spiritual punch-line after 26 chapters. Then a very unsatisfying finish. "Their marriage in name only was annulled." No. That was as bad as a logically inconsistent mystery reveal. Lynn should've killed Sam in the war and let Giselle rescue Joe. Because that's what actually happened.

🍂😕I‘ve definitely been feeling the seasonal change/shift this week & so, I‘ve been getting extra😻snuggles whenever possible. Reading has been slow, but I‘m🤞🏻that I can pickup the pace & finish at least one open read this weekend. Somehow managed to get some really good📸 of Clementine & thought I‘d share.
#WhereAreYouMonday I fell behind in the chapter a day pace with the rest of the #RandomClassic BR so I‘m still trudging in the snow on the way to Cutter Gap, Tennessee. I‘ll catch up soon. I‘m enjoying my first read of Christy.
