Welcome to Litsy!

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 🇨🇦

Watching this week‘s hallmark movie IYKYK

A book on the TBR. Have not watched the TV show.

Good book, very different from the tv show, almost unrecognizable. It ended a little abruptly, but it was a very easy read with an enjoyable plot.

Taking a break from reading tonight to bing this! 😍 I discovered the new episodes while searching for The Princess Bride movie. (My daughter asked me what The Princess Bride was!! 😱 #ParentingFail ) I totally plan on rectifying this grievance!

Omg in volunteering at the used book store today and someone just brought these in! Since they are older than 10 years I can buy them for 50 cents each! #winning

Haven‘t even started 🤷🏾‍♀️
Hopefully getting out of the house/city
Snow? What‘s that?

Hmmm. Somewhere between so-so and pan. Some parts were entertaining while other parts dragged or felt unnecessary. There seemed to be a serious lack of courtship or getting to know you stage so the ending had me a little 🤔

I know this is stupid, but the author has spent an extraordinary amount of time in writing about Beth's trouble with mice. If I have to read about the agonizing death of one more mouse I'm going to DNF this book. It has nothing to do with the plot. Not a fan of animal cruelty especially when it seems superfluous. 😠

I know Jack and Elizabeth are the main couple but these two are my favorite in the TV show. They are sweet, funny, and just such interesting characters 😆😉😍😍

Does anyone else watch When Calls the Heart on the Hallmark channel? I loved this book while growing up. It was one of my favorites and I love the show! The last season just came to Netflix and I can't wait to watch it.

After the election, I needed some feel-good brain candy. Netflix recommended this Hallmark show about a school teacher from a rich family who loves to a small coal-mining town and falls in love with a Mountie. The first season was entertaining (albeit the least diverse TV show I have EVER seen in my life) so I gave the book a chance. It was okay but not my thing. I'd give it probably 3 stars. If you like Christian romance, give it a try.

I love this book. I read it for the first time when I was twelve or thirteen and have read it many times since then as you can tell from the tattered cover. I love the story of Elizabeth going forward to teach in the wilderness. The romance isn't my absolute favorite now that I am older but the nostalgia factor on this book is really high.

This was my first ever Jannette Oke book. I was in early high school, being homeschooled by deeply Christian parents. This was the closest I was allowed to get to "romance", but it was the adventure and courage of the characters that drew me in, I didn't see the "romance" until years later.
