Welcome to Litsy!

@TheBookHippie Thank you so much for my ##jolabokaflodswap package! I'm excited to dive into both the book and the chocolate drink. Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 @MaleficentBookDragon Thank you so much for hosting.

Just a lovely book about grandmothers, mothers, and daughters and the memories and recipes that connect them all. The author tells the stories of hard times, but comes to understand the women in her family have always had these times.

Thank you @kspenmoll for sharing this delightful book💗

A memoir about her own life as she faces financial set back and the way she looked to old family recipes and the stories behind them to help give her hope and get through, this was a quick and easy read. Slightly more than a so-so, this felt kind of light weight. Full review at https://booknaround.blogspot.com/2021/02/review-cherries-in-winter-by-suzan-colo...

Read 14 books this month. Heavy on mysteries that I can escape into.

A lovely comfort read-makes me feel warm inside.The author chronicles when she lost her high paying job, a causality of the 2007-9 recession/depression.She rediscovered her Grandmother‘s recipe file,that went back to previous generations. The recipes told her family‘s story of strong women who scrimped & created cheap meals in lean times. Taking her inspiration from her female ancestors, she nourished her family‘s body & soul.

Starting my #bookspin book early this month.

I enjoyed reading this as I always enjoy #booksaboutfood but I became sad when I realized it was one of the books I left behind when I moved cross country. 😕

Finished this today while the kids ran around in the sun. A quick and pleasant read about a family that has always been broke but never poor. I enjoyed the stories and the recipes. Recommend for anyone who needs a quick read to get out of a funk.

Really liking this quick read. Perfect for my tired brain.

Been working since 3:15 this morning and am finally home and reading. Nothing else I've started lately has grabbed my attention, so I'm going to start this one. Is it good?
