Welcome to Litsy!

One of my favourite books of 2020. It was a wonderful, emotional rollercoaster of an escape from the madness that has been this year. It‘s well worth the read. I‘ve seen this book compared to Huckleberry Finn, but this is so much better than that. The characters are so loveable. They all have a purpose, warm hearts, and genuine love for each other.

The ending was so perfect. I did not see the twist at the end, but it was somehow fitting. It explained Odie a bit. I‘m so glad I finally read this book. It‘s one of my favourites from this year.

I was so excited for this book when I first got it, then it ended up sitting on my iPad a while. I really needed some good fiction to break up all the nonfiction and this is absolutely perfect.

I‘m trying to figure out what to read next. It‘s probably going to be one of these two. The next Harry Potter book starts Monday, or I would just start both. Any votes?

This Tender Land was the most beautiful story I've read this year. Krueger did a fantastic job of getting you to feel for each of these characters. I wanted to protect them, I was rooting for them, I wanted the best for them, I hurt for them, and I felt like I knew them. I was enthralled by the situations and characters these kids encountered along the way; everything was so well-written and fully developed. #thistenderland

This Tender Land is a beautifully written, absorbing story of four children and their turbulent river journey searching for safety and security. #williamkentkrueger #thistenderland
