Welcome to Litsy!

I still liked her first book more but this one kept my mind off things for a few days. Most of the characters were a bit unlikable. I do like that Audrain is not afraid to highlight the difficult parts of raising kids. The hard part of being a mom but wanting to have a successful career. How parents sometimes don‘t know how to navigate a relationship with their child when their child is not what they expected. The difficulties of marriage, feeling

Reading this series with my preteen has us in varying agreement. I'm relating so much to Anne as an adult, while my daughter enjoyed the earlier books in the series more. In Anne Of Ingleside I found myself reflected in being on the visited end of long staying guests and their unwelcomed behaviors.

Might be my top pick for Canada Reads this year. The trauma and devastation this woman survived, yet the way she turned the pain into empathy and compassion, is the most exceptional show of defiance. “Even today, when I am grateful to lead a peaceful and happy life, there are moments when I feel anger, bitterness, and regret. But those feelings only make me miserable, and I don't want to live like that.” Not the best writing, but worth the read.

Light thumbs up. It‘s hard to go wrong with the friends of Three Pines, but this one was just okay.

My #BookSpinBingo so far. Stuck on current read -tagged - love the Gamache series but this one is slow moving for me (Three Pines not featured in it)- I will finish though because as a series I need to see how the characters progress!! One slow read out of a series isn't too bad right?

Make a great day everyone 🙂

This reread of Indian Horse was, for me, just as poignant and powerful as the first time around. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the history of residential schools in Canada and why hockey is so well-loved in this country.

I think I was supposed to read this 10 years ago. 😂

Love, loss, friendship, and so many heartfelt moments I can relate to.

This is a dark book with a fascinating portrayal of a First Nation community in the midst of a mysterious crisis. I will seek out more by this author.
