Welcome to Litsy!

This vintage children's book has been on my TBR for a while! It's set in rural Nova Scotia village on the foggy Bay of Fundy. I grew up across that bay in New Brunswick. So I have deep affection for fog & believe it is magical. For 10 year old Greta, fog signals an opportunity to slip away to another time. She visits her village as it was a century before and the history of that place. There was a lot I liked!The rooted magic, descriptions of 👇

Modern day time travel done extremely well! I had avoided this one because I was skeptical. I'm glad I finally took the plunge. Many life lessons Oona learns along the way are good ones for the reader too. All kids of good twisty twists.

I was hooked from the opening chapter and the great dialogue and next thing I know, I'm sighing and giggling as the book progresses and around the last idk 20-25%, this book had me crying. Granted by then it had gotten to a particular moment of grief, and it triggered my own which was cathartic.

I have too many feels from this one.

I‘ve had the tagged book on my TBR for a long time. And it‘s going to have to wait several more months since I don‘t have it with me.

3.2⭐️ to be honest, I struggled with this one. Several times I really considered DNF, but I‘ve heard how good it was. And I‘ll admit, closer to the end it was much more enjoyable. But I seriously started this book on June 10 and just finished today. Almost a month for a book that‘s a little over 200 pages. I truly think I kept it up just because it was June‘s fable pic. Oh well, better books ahead.

3✨ This is where curiosity, Science, and the desire to help a group of people can go wrong. We have two main POVs and it helps unfold the human lust for power, as well as the desire to fix mistakes. Our characters go through a very long Groundhog Day effect as they try to saves the world from those who have other plans in mind than helping mankind. The story was good, but like the characters I got lost in time.

I'm going to need to sit with this one a while before I can decide how to review it. I love so much about it, but something is keeping me from a wholehearted 5 stars. What I know is that I love Commander Graham Gore. This was my July #Doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
