This one is a good one so far. I can tell it‘s going to be sad but beautiful book.
pickI've had the pleasure of meeting Nickolas Butler with @peaknit and he's just great!
Book 6 for #bookspinbonanza @TheAromaofBooks
So I found out our library was closing 15 minutes before it did. I panic grabbed 9 books (even though I have a closet full that I haven't read yet!!!) 2 cook books, 7 other books. Has anyone read any of them? A few I've heard of, most were a quick skim or cover art grab. Tell me I'm not crazy??
pickI love how Nickolas Butler writes. His books have so much warmth. This one would make a great book club pick, if I was still in a book club.
pickNickolas Butler is such a special author. I am a 100%, true blue city girl (like even the suburbs make me twitchy after a while) but he writes so beautifully about the Midwest that I find myself completely captivated by the story AND the setting. He is a master at writing truly lovely depictions of regular folks leading regular lives - novels for grownups, if you will. Loved it. 4⭐️.
“Lyle often thought that the world, so loudly and violently governed by...”
YEP!
It‘s too cold to do anything else.
#BookReport for last week 1)Next Year in Havana was a well done audio book. Slow in a few spots but a good story and taught me so much about Cuban history. 3 1/2 🌟 2)Little Faith was so good. A story about a family and how loss can shake our faith. 4 🌟 3) Moloka‘i. I loved this book about the Leper colony on this Hawaiian island. 4 🌟 The books pictured are this week‘s #WeeklyForecast
@Cinfhen Shotgun Lovesongs in now on my tbr. 😀
pickThe best book of the year IMO. The writing is high quality. The story is interesting. Bonus is that it takes place in Wisconsin. (I‘m a former Wisconsinite and most of my family is still there.)
pickAudiobooks are life savers during readathons and I was happy to have this one to listen to when I needed to be on the move. Litsy introduced me Nickolas Butler for which I am grateful This was the third book of his that I have read and I have not been disappointed yet. Faith, family, and friendship are all woven into this novel with sharply drawn characters. It took me a bit to get into it but I am glad I chose to listen to the audiobook. #24in48
pickLoved this one. The nature descriptions and lovable main character made for a winning combination for me. Faith, religion, familial relationships, and simple pleasures in life take center stage. I took this picture with one of my apple trees to represent Lyle's beloved Sourdough Orchard. 🌳 🍏 the #audiobook was excellent!! I recommend that format for a whole other dimension to the MC.
Read and enjoyed Shotgun Lovesongs by this author and I've heard good things about this one too. I'm listening to the #audiobook which is perfectly narrated to match the main character. #audiobook #readandlisten #libby
Nikolas Butler is a favorite and his latest book is cheap today! Can‘t beat the price.
pickI found this to be a moving family story and a quite believable portrayal of how some people might struggle with the roles of faith and organized religion in their lives. Sometimes the journey is deep and philosophical, other times urgent, emotional, and/or practical - and I think this book conveyed that really well. As he has in everything of his that I‘ve read, Nickolas Butler nailed his descriptions of Wisconsin‘s culture and natural setting.
pickThis story “Little Faith” is about just that- Faith. It‘s about how our faith can ebb and flow, become great or sink to the depths. This story took me on an emotional roller coaster right along with the main character, Lyle. The ending will leave one pondering.
And he gave me book recommendations... we are basically besties now!!!
So I went and saw Nicholas Butler speak about his new book and he was so sweet!!!
Oh man, I really want to go to this!! Fingers crossed I can find someone to go with me! 🤞
pickIt was good. It took me about 1/3 to get into it, then I thought it rambled again. The abrupt ending convinced me it was good but no more than a 3-⭐⭐⭐ read.
I opened this one today to find the timing was perfect to start reading it! Spring! 🌺🌷
pickHappy pub day to Nickolas Butler! LITTLE FAITH is great — another quintessentially Midwestern novel with Butler's signature warm, inviting, downright comforting storytelling.
