Welcome to Litsy!

I just bought this at my local Barnes & Noble. Looking forward to reading it!!

I didn‘t walk today, but I did finish The Husbands. It was an interesting book with a unique premise. I wasn‘t in love with the ending, but it made sense for the book. Here‘s little George by herself and with our old boy, Cow. He‘s often grumpy, but he likes her.

3.5⭐(Light Pick)
•I feel like this was a bit unfocused and lacked depth. Maybe it needed to pick one genre and stick to it. It seemed to want to dip its toes into as many as possible without fully committing to one. Overall, it had elements that worked and ones that didn‘t work for me.
•The narration performed by Deanna Anthony, Carmel Jewel Jones, & Robin Eller was fantastic.

I found this in a little book store and read the whole thing on the short flight home. It was such a fun little read with a lovely ending. Very cute.

I was surprised with this book. I was reading along a nice little romance waiting for the inevitable problem them bam. The little problem was a HUGE problem and changed the entire premise. I liked it. It was unexpectedly emotional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Themes: Historical Fiction, Dual Timelines & Multiple POVs, Magical Realism

This book made me laugh, made me tear up, made me angry, but I loved it! Usually with mutilple POVs there‘s always “that” character that I dread when their name is on the chapter heading, but I loved Opaline (even though I kept wanted to call her Ovaltine), Martha and Henry. And Madame Bowden too! A solid pick to read if you want something truly magical!

This book is truly magical. It‘s set in Alaska, a place I long to visit. It‘s based on a children‘s book in which an older couple longed for a child that they could not have. Along came a magical snow child who could only survive in the cold. I love the description of the coat that Mabel made for the snow child in the version I read. I also loved the descriptions of the Alaska wilderness.I don‘t know that I could survive an Alaskan winter though

This story was immersive. The characters are so loveable, the setting rich. It is very light on the magical realism, and it ties in so well with pharmacology. I enjoyed the themes of the book and especially how lightly they came across.
