Welcome to Litsy!

A book that‘s been on my list to read for years. Not at all what I expected. I now know more about orchids and weird people in Florida than I ever wanted to. I wanted more of Laroche‘s story than I got here - I guess I need to read her New Yorker piece for that. I‘m glad I have time to read another book before the end of the year. 😆

My reading buddy is getting more & more slightly annoyed with me evertime I move to get more comfy. 😬🤦‍♀️😜

This is a fascinating history of Florida in the 1920s with its real estate boom and bust that the author posits was the main cause of the Great Depression. I was wholly absorbed by this narrative nonfiction. #ReadYourEbooks

Pond lights at the Botanic Garden's Lightscape exhibit. I could make a dozen posts just with photos of this outing, but I am exercising self control. #beautybreak

Finished in September. Haunted town in Florida with 2 competing haunted guided tours. This is a romance.

I read this book years ago and could never remember the name of it but it came up on Goodreads the other day and I was like “that‘s it”!!! If you like history this book was a wonderful glimpse into early Florida with an epic tale of a family and all they endure through the years. It‘s stuck with me through the years and I wanted to just recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Florida or historical fiction.
