Welcome to Litsy!

Another let down for me, though it may be my state of mind. This was highly recommended after I'd read a Sarah Moss book with a similar feel. But this fell short. I got confused with the 1912 dual chapters, then the last few chapters were too much. I guess indicative of the character minds but felt mixed up fir me.

I had to bail after the first couple chapters. Horrific details on dog death & suffering.

I just can‘t. Huskies are *dogs*! They want what all domesticated dogs want: Loving care, good food, comfortable rest & companionship with their humans.

They deserve that. Give them that, not this miserable existence. 💧💧💧

My #ReadOrDonate selection for December. 🐧 What will everyone else be reading?

Anyone interested in continuing for another year?

Finally have some time to get my #Bookspin list done. Only a week late, NBD.

My heart belongs to the Franklin expedition, but I‘m trying to branch out! Endurance doesn‘t disappoint (truly HOW did they survive that) but I do have an unpopular opinion™️. I am not sold on Shackleton‘s leadership skills! Lansing glosses over mistakes and tends to give Shackleton full credit for feats that were group efforts (or even just Frank Worsley efforts, justice for Frank.) It felt biased and made me wonder about other sides to the story

The first annoying thing is when I ask Dad what he thinks happened to Mom, he always says, “What's most important is for you to understand that it's not your fault.”
