Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve seen others criticize this for moving too slowly, but for me, it was a 5-star read. Perspectives alternate between three women: a hiker lost along the Appalachian trail, the State Game Warden leading the search, and a retiree who takes an interest in the search from afar. The character development here was well done, and Gaige strikes a balance between mystery, survival, and reflection that really worked for me.

I‘ve always had a fascination of the AT so when a I saw a book about a woman going missing on trail, I was in! A nurse suddenly goes missing in Maine & Bev, a seasoned game warden, is immediately on the case. Bev is a great character who will stop at nothing until she finds the hiker dead or alive. Lena, a third character also somehow has ties to this situation & we learn how every thing ties together in the end. Good story that kept me engaged.

Finished 3 more for #10beforetheend !

Tagged ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I enjoyed so much of this. But felt that Lena‘s story was unnecessarily weak. Maybe it was originally intended to go elsewhere?

Dream Hotel: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed

Late Night Witches: idk ⭐️⭐️💫 I guess it wasn‘t for me🤷‍♀️

Reading Katabasi & Atmosphere for #reallifebookgroup & intend to read at least 1 Xmas book this year. And that‘ll get me to 10!

Oh 🎃🫅 is what I‘m reading w bubs 🥰

Yes, I loved HEARTWOOD!

This wa a low pick for me. Six friends embark on a weekend trip to an Inn for relaxation and fun but suddenly their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. As they try to find this mysterious Inn bad things start to happen and it seems they are all being picked off One By One.

The twist was still good and had a little more of a twist at the very end but it just wasn‘t my fav by McFadden.

The so so rating is due to the loopy timeline of the story. Grandma Gatewood is 5 stars all the way. She had grit. Her family believed in her strength and determination. She lived through extreme domestic abuse, raised 11 kids, and hiked thousands of miles. She is an inspiration to many.

We‘ve listened to this book a dozen times before in the car and we could probably listen to it a dozen times more. It‘s just a really good audiobook.

This is the time of year when I say, I could never leave New England, while realizing that by January I will wonder why I live in a place that hurts my face and halfway through March I will seriously question my sanity. It‘s for this, this perfect fall.
