By far, the tagged book was my favorite Historical Fiction book read in 2025.
pickLaura Frantz‘s combination of Revolutionary War history and a sweet romance was picturesque. Her descriptions of the bitter winter cold made be shiver. My favorite character was Lucy. Through her relationship with Mae, I could see her heart and courage . If you enjoy historical fiction, I believe you will like The Belle of Chatham.

Received a Kindle Colorsoft from my daughter for Christmas but she was adamant that I feel free to use it right away.
So I immediately requested 6 books via NetGalley and this was the first one approved. 💕
Finished this book this week ~ had to share this silly green stained head from my own butterfly chaser. To my #LitsyLove friends, I‘m worn out from life, nothing tragic and hopefully my upcoming vacation will recharge my batteries but please don‘t take it personally when I don‘t write back. I‘m simply out of extra creative energy.
Even if he doesn‘t, they said, hanging their lives on the hook of possible disappointment. That statement left me asking myself if I will worship God even if … I want to believe that I will, so I need to live like it in the small irritating circumstances in order to build me trust for the huge traumatic situations.
Circle 31 Book Club has chosen a Biblical Fiction book for June. This quote from the Prologue is an excellent introduction to the treasure that Tessa Afshar has written.
Received this book in a box for my Little Free Library ~ glad I added it to my personal shelf first.

When the story mentions a song you have never heard and you have to listen to it while reading…
a great deal from Thrift Books for $8.79
free book from my recent order from Thrift Books
Unbelievable ~ after almost 10 years of being on Goodreads and entering Giveaways, I received an email on Monday and the book arrived today. Frankly, I hate the word “offended”. I can‘t imagine a better time in my life to read this book and make that ONE change to rid my heart of anger.
BUSY day yesterday but I made time to open my #LittleChristmasSwap just before bed. @CSeydel ~ I am thrilled with used books. I always add my books to my Little Free Library after reading them. The chocolates 🍫, though, won‘t be shared. @bookish_wookish Thank you for a great swap to cap my holidays!
Thanks to Litsy encouragement, I surpassed my goal of reading 12 books. Started the tagged book on Monday ~ the writing is easy to read while the content is heartbreaking. 🩶
@Sharpeipup Thank you for this excellent #JolabokaflodSwap pick. I discovered Marie Benedict earlier this year and have really liked her historical fiction introductions to women I had known nothing about previously. @MaleficentBookDragon ~ thank you for the matches that introduced me to new Littens. 📚
@CSeydel your #LittleChristmasSwap pkg arrived yesterday. Thank you! I had to put it out of reach of my dog, Regi, who has recently decided to exercise his mind by getting things down from the table. @bookish_wookish Thank you for finding a way to keep the holiday surprises around for a little longer.
@BookmarkTavern ~ your #LittleChristmasSwap pkg is on the way & expected to arrive by 12/21/24. Thank you for organizing @bookish_wookish .
@forestandcrow I‘m thrilled with my #StuffedStockingSwap and I love the hand painted bookmark. Thank you for sharing your talent with me in such a special gift.
It‘s here! My #JolabokaflodSwap pkg has arrived. I still don‘t know who the sender is and that adds to the surprise. @MaleficentBookDragon Thank you for organizing!
My #JolabokaflodSwap24 pkg is expected to arrive by December 12th. @MaleficentBookDragon
Circle 31 Book Club has announced their February Pick. I ordered my copy this morning. 👑
#StuffedStockingSwap ~ This swap was a delight to shop for. It‘s in the hands of the Post Office with an anticipated delivery date of 11/25/24. @Avanders Thank you for blessing me with your gift of organization. 🎁

I was shocked and excited to receive my #StuffedStockingSwap pkg. Now, I‘m in despair knowing I must wait until December 15th to open. ☺️
A signed bookplate, bookmark 🔖 & seeds arrived with my pre-order. 💐
I‘m at home dealing with employee issues on my day off but after checking my personal email and seeing this, I‘m smiling again. 💐
Finished Season 3 of The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix and got to the halfway point of this denim rug I began in late August. I realize it wasn‘t reading but I needed to celebrate the success. #LitsyLove friends, these photos of my current hand-twined rug are for you. @LiseWorks @dabbe
Do you know what the most disappointing part of #LitsyLove is? Having to rip or tear washi tape or a sticker to open the envelope! 😂 #LitsyLoveBingo
A co-worker gifted this book to me yesterday. I admire Corrie Ten Boom‘s courage to survive & forgive. Her love for Jesus has inspired me since childhood. Starbucks holiday drinks were released today ~ my favorite Caramel Brûlée Latte made with oat milk in my personal cup. #LitsyLoveBingo
I enjoy sitting outside soaking in the sun while Regi 🐾 chases squirrels. The tagged book releases 11/19/24. I‘ve preordered it and am excited for its arrival in my mailbox.
I've been reading the tagged book while dealing with nerve pain, a kidney stone & now a spot of skin cancer. The quirky, silly characters keep me giggling. #LitsyLoveBingo #WhatsNewWednesday
My granddaughters helped me cross off one square in #LitsyLoveBingo ~ Give a Book. We donated 18 in 3 libraries and brougt home about 20. 🤣
Chapter 3 is about red flags ~ this quote really hit home. 10 years ago next month, my relationship with my Mama exploded. There were bright red flags but I didn't have a healthy relationship with her and didn't know how to address my concerns. I now know that she had dementia but she and my dad had always kept secrets and were no different with this devastating disease. 😭
Printing my #LitsyLoveBingo card for November has helped me more creative by being able to review options. @KadaGul I'm thankful I met you thru #ListyLove.
My Grandma made this crab meat dip for every family holiday dinner. Each one of my kids as well as my dad, my brother and even me have made ourselves sick eating too much of it. Last year after my mom died my brother couldn‘t find the recipe. I had it as written on the green paper by one of my sons several years ago. I translated it to the white paper for family sharing. #LitsyLoveBingo
Circle 31 Book Club will begin reading this book on November 1st. This is one of the several statements I underlined while reading the introduction. Join in here ~ https://community.circle31.org/share/6CZUB1hAlJFCi9Ch
@Chrissyreadit Your package was filled with comfort, warmth & fun. Thank you for the sweets.🍬 #Litsolace
@JessieKB I‘ll definitely be using this gorgeous card as a bookmark. 🔖 Hope your weather is cooling down as you welcome fall. #Litsolace
@kspenmoll This picture does provide so many visual reminders of things to be grateful for rather than fearing the winter that is to come. #Litsolace
@Cuilin If only I could sit under this tree, I would love to be buried in its leaves. 🍁 🍃 #Litsolace
@Bookwormjillk The moth specimen postcard is my favorite yet I love the leaves poem and adore the stickers. #Litsolace
Until Litsy adds These Blue Mountains, I‘ll tag Sarah‘s 2024 release. I‘ve already preordered my copy…
