Salad Days ~ Allie Cresswell
I thought this was a wonderful story, beautifully and atmospherically written. It‘s slightly gothic in style and perhaps a little surreal. It all sounds so idyllic on the surface but it‘s what is lurking underneath which propels this tale. There is a sense of mystery to the story which drew me in and I was always looking forward to reading on. A thoroughly enjoyable, evocative and compelling read.

Salad Days by Allie Cresswell

Prudence and Arthur take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to the sixties and seventies; turbulent, changeful years that contrasted with their idyllic childhood at ‘Salad Days,‘ the market garden run by Prue‘s extended family.

But was it idyllic? As Prue and Arthur retrace their youthful attempts to get to the facts, it‘s clear that truth and memory are not the same.

Omg this series is off to an amazing!! If you like slow burn reverse harem books, you will love this series! All of the characters in this book are seriously amazing and the guys are swoon worthy. My favorite part of this series is that Willow Hadley addressed all the problems and scrutiny that a relationship like this would have. I cant wait for the next book in the series!

How do y‘all find out about all these read-a-thons?😭 I feel like I‘m missing out on everything 🥺 haha

Emilymdxn @LitsyHappenings announces a lot of events like readathons! 4y
Nicole01070 @wanderinglynn @emilymdxn thank you both so much!😊😊😊 4y
See All 26 Comments
Maria514626 I find most of them by chance in my feed. 🤷‍♀️ @4thhouseontheleft and @StayCurious are hosting #summerfunbingo and #bookspin is going on this summer. Can‘t remember the host. I‘ll look it up. 4y
StayCurious You‘re more than welcome to join in on #Summerfun bingo! Let me know and I‘ll provide the sign up link. It goes until August 15. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the tag @Maria514626!! Nicole, the other thing I used to do when I first started on Litsy was check the “trending hashtags“ & then see who was hosting those events. So #ReadYourSign is one of the trending hashtags right now & if you visit those posts you can tell that @Clwojick & @meaw_catlady are hosting because everyone is tagging them in those posts - then ask one of the hosts what it's all about!! 😁 4y
TheAromaofBooks I do host #BookSpin, which is a monthly challenge where people make a list of 20 books they've been meaning to read & then every month I draw 2 numbers & everyone tries to read those books from their list. So different from the readathons where folks set their own reading goals & try to achieve them within a certain amount of time. Right now I know that #MidyearRush readathon is going on (@Clwojick). The last weekend of every month is always ⬇ 4y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) #24B4Monday (hosts - @Andrew65 @jb72 @sumisbooks), & recently @sace has started #CYOReadathon at the beginning of each month as well. Those are all challenges where you choose a goal (a certain amount of time or number of pages or number of books - whatever!!) & try to achieve it during the readathon. Hope this helps - just ask around - generally people hosting things love to have more people along for the fun & are very friendly!! 😊 4y
Eggs Thank you for the tag 💖 @wanderinglynn 4y
Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks said it all! 💙♥️🧡 2020 is definitely going to be know. As the year of the #Readathons. There is pretty much ALWAYS something going on! ☺️ I‘d suggest following all the people mentioned above, and search the #Readathon feed whenever you‘re looking for an upcoming event. Usually they‘re announced a few days or even a week ahead. 4y
jb72 @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the tag! @SumisBooks holds the #24B4Monday the last weekend of every month. It‘s very relaxed. You set your own goals. Sometimes there is a theme, but it‘s never required to stick to any theme. It‘s all about just reading. Let me know if you have questions. The next one takes place this weekend. 4y
Eggs @Nicole01070 Looks like everyone covered the How-tos on finding readathons-are you new to Litsy? If so, a hearty welcome to you 🥳🎊 4y
Birdsong28 Check out @Andrew65 as he hosts readathons 4y
Sace Thanks for the tag @TheAromaofBooks! I really recommend #bookspin since that happens every month and has felt very low-key for me. There really are Readathons almost constantly 🤣 No one has mentioned it, but @DeweysReadathon will be on October 24th. Who runs #LitsyPartyOfOne now? 4y
Andrew65 @Emilymdxn Is @LitsyHappenings still announcing events? Last post for @LitsyHappenings was 4 months ago, (edited) 4y
Andrew65 @wanderinglynn Totally agree, if you check in with this small group of people you don‘t miss much. We don‘t have a life. 🤣😂🤣😂🤷‍♂️ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @SumisBooks @Eggs @Clwojick @Meaw_catlady @TheSpineView 4y
Andrew65 As has been mentioned the #24B4Monday Readathon takes place the last Friday - Sunday of each month. And during lockdown I have been doing a nine day Readathon in the middle of the month (Saturday - following Sunday) where you can set your own goals. This has worked well around work commitments so likely to continue whilst people want to take part. 4y
Clwojick @Andrew65 I think I worded it perfectly the other day when I said my whole life revolves around taking part in one Readathon and then obsessively waiting for the next Readathon to start. It‘s a vicious/delicious circle! I think June may have been the best month yet! I‘ve joined 5-6 events (edited) 4y
Andrew65 @Clwojick Ditto! 🤣 Somehow I find time to run a school around these! 4y
Andrew65 @wanderinglynn Thanks for the tag 🥰 4y
AvidReader25 The @DeweysReadathon happens every April and Oct! 4y
TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! @wanderinglynn I try to repost info on the readathons and other things that I participate in 4y
DieAReader @Clwojick I‘m definitely on the same 📚track as you! Life is all about 🎶Readathons, Goodreads Group challenges & recently, Buddy Reads too! Focus is the name of the game!🧠 Also, I may fall into @Andrew65 No Life category too🤪🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

1. I‘m working from home for at least two weeks. My kids‘ schools are closed & will be switching to e-learning as soon as they can. My husband will still be teaching, but his students will attend via video.
2) For now.
3) I‘ll wear my green socks if I can find them.
4) I just finished a book for work, and I‘m ready for a palette cleanser. I have a stack from Christmas, so I‘m good.
5) I have no idea. I don‘t really like many movies. #randosurvey

This is my review for another book I just finished listening to from Amazon Prime. You can borrow books on Amazon Prime and I love it. I‘ve checked out 10 books so I need to be reading them. Now, I have 9 books I‘m borrowing from Amazon Prime since I just returned this one. The good thing about this is that there are no late fees to worry about. You can keep the borrowed books as long as you want so you can finish them.

This was one of Audible‘s freebie choices for February. Overall, a cute story, but I think this would be better in a graphic novel or comic book format. (As a side note, the author primarily writes comic books, so it makes sense.) I wavered between pick & so-so. I‘d give it 3.5 stars.

The ensemble performance was well done (5 stars for the performance). This story just wasn‘t quite as cute a story as last month‘s Interview with the Robot.

wanderinglynn @TimSpalding This book isn‘t in the database that I could find. 4y
ElizaMarie Ooo, I just got this one too! I haven't started it yet but I am glad to hear that it was pretty good. I also had listened to the Interview with the Robot (and really liked it) 4y

This is my review for a book I just read by Jennifer Joyce called “A Beginner‘s Guide To Christmas”. I just realized that I‘m experiencing a #readingslump since finishing the #asongoficeandfire series. I‘m going to take a break from reading and do something else for awhile. I‘m not in the mood to read like I thought I was.

So Litsy hasnt been nice to me lately and has been giving me alot of trouble. This morning when I tried to post my goodies from my swap it said i kept putting the wrong password but wouldnt let me change it. So i remember we can now go on by the web and my password worked and it says ive been here since 2016 😳 i knew ive been here awhile but didnt know it was that long!!!

LibrarianRyan Yeah, this morning the app was not letting me comment on anything. 5y

This is the container I used last night to add in books that I want to buy. It‘s already full too. Hopefully when I start buying books from this jar, I can start emptying it out but this one is perfect because it says Joy on it and buying books brings me joy.

Part two- you just saw my happy dance...now stand back & witness my elated hyperventilating dance. You hit the nail in the head...where did you find the graphic novel and perfect book bag? Omg! I can NOT wait to add these to my October reading list! ❤️your theme of creepy houses in the woods! Consider yourself an A+ gifter! Themes to gifts are my jam! Haha You definitely made October amazingly scary! Thank you so much!

KT1432 Awwww that is so sweet!! ??? Amazon again for the graphic novel lol. The tote was tricky...I saw the design and knew I wanted to get it for you, but various Etsy shop timelines made me nervous. So I found it at Abrams books online! I'm so glad you liked the theme lol! I had so much fun!! As soon as hubby gets home it's "me time" and I'm opening mine! ?? 5y

I haven‘t read any of them yet. The one that I‘m wanting to start is Nightcrawlers. The good thing is that there are no due dates so you can take as long as you need to in order to finish but until I read these books, I can‘t borrow anything else. I‘ve reached the borrowing limit. I got excited when I found out I could borrow books on Amazon Prime so I just picked what I wanted to borrow and now I have a bunch of books to read.
