Welcome to Litsy!

November #bookspin

Nothing like waiting until the last minute!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A story of knowing what you don‘t want, rather than what you do. Three generations of tough, somewhat shunned, women, all unique in their strengths. Dorothy, aka Donkey, steals the show. I loved the symbolism of the rattler. An ouroboros; the circle of life. I picked this up after hearing Campbell speak at Southern Festival of Books. She‘s so sharp and funny! Meeting her was an absolute pleasure. Will def read more from her!

This has everything I usually love in a book…and yet, I didn‘t love it. I have no idea why really. Wrong timing? I know nothing about Our Town, the play the story centres around (but I never want to read about Emily or the Stage Manager again), I felt nothing much for the characters and just felt distanced from the whole thing. In fact I nearly gave up. The last 50 pages or so kind of won me round but I still feel ambivalent.

Campbell is a new-to-me author, and hearing her speak was such a treat, I had to buy her newest and meet her. She‘s a whole vibe and I love it!

Next kindle read

Pic of a Michigan swamp on a recent #audiowalk as I listened to this deeply satisfying novel. Healer Herminie Zook, her precocious granddaughter, questionable fathers, and complicated independent women connect with the land and each other in the Great Missasauga Swamp. Loved it. Plenty of #chilling moments. #WickedWhispers #MittenLitten @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Finished Book 4 in the Berry Basket mystery series as one of my #SeasonalCozy picks & other than the MC making the WORST decisions running from the killer,🙄it was pretty good. I found 9 #HauntedShelf #WordSearch words & I used it already for #Pumpkin in the #BookScavengerHunt. Counting it in the readathons listed in comments below as I read it last week & this week.

I‘m still tallying my points for Team #Flerken

Happy Saturday! Ran to the monthly craft fair by my house, had a wind-related (I think allergy attack) 🤧& now I‘m sitting red & teary-eyed at the coffee shop eating a breakfast sandwich & playing catch up from the week.

I‘m trying to delve into #HauntedShelf as I‘ve only been reading & tracking time so far. Going through #LitsyLove mail, contemplating some doodles & starting this one which I‘ll use for #BookScavengerHunt: Pumpkin 🎃
