Welcome to Litsy!

I'm marking this as a pick, even though I didn't think it was as good as Petterson's other books. I still enjoyed it and it made me want to reread his other Arvid books.

I was a bookseller for 15 years and it made me a little depressed to find out about a new book by one of my favorite writers 6 months after its release. I made it my business to make sure people knew about books I knew they'd like. I wish I had a bookseller who did that for me!

"...and all the bookshelves, and all the years with all the books...and behind every spine there was an open door onto a life that was not mine, but perhaps might have been and in a way already was because I had moored them all to a buoy in my heart, every single one of them, yes, all the way throughout the years from high school and here I had kept them with me, and who would I have been without them..."

1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Anne of Green Gables, The Brontë sisters
2. Spending time with my nieces tomorrow, going to see a theater production of Tarjei Vesaas's The Birds on Sunday. Can't wait ❤❤
3. Done.
