Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this one. I won‘t forget Colette anytime soon.

So good! This short holiday novella packs a punch. Thoughtful with beautiful, spare prose, I will be thinking of this for awhile-what makes a person rich and fulfilled and what isn‘t as important as you might think.

In American history, Paul Revere got the word out and helped win the war. If it had been Irish history, his horse would have been struck dead by lightning. 😂

An absolute dream

Thank you so much for my #jolabokaflodswap package, @Deblovestoread - it's perfect! And your comments about this book make me even more keen to read it. I appreciate you, as well as @MaleficentBookDragon for putting it all together.

This morning‘s walk was vey foggy! I was wondering if there was going to be a dual timeline in this book because it didn‘t seem like it at first. I‘m having a little trouble figuring out why the sisters care so much about this missing sister. They‘ve never known her, and she‘s never known or heard of them. We‘ll see. #audiowalk

The author of my book looks like a combination between Taylor Swift and Kirstie Alley.

Am I right or am I right?

It‘s back to The Missing Sister for my #audiowalk book. I love this nice weather we‘re having right now. I was wearing shorts and flip flops today.

This is an excellent, well researched study of Cumann na mBan, the women's auxiliary volunteer group, and their role in the Irish uprising. It's a little dry, but that's the nature of a thorough academic study. It gives a real sense of how chaotic and disorganised the war of independence was, and the bitter divisions that followed in the Civil War.
