Welcome to Litsy!

I read this in four days. Those were a sad four days.

Adore this set of books. Thoughtful. Spiritual. Deeply moving. Every sentence full of meaning.

I know this was a good book... but I'm in such a slump lately. I'm pushing through and nothing is standing out to me! I'm in need of recommendations!

Starting this next on #audio

Yes, after gushing over Marilynne Robinson‘s writing in Gilead, Home, and Lila, I‘m having to bail on Jack. 74 pages in and he and Della are still in the cemetery….I‘m weary and having difficulty believing this scene and their exchange. #MarilynneRobinson #Gilead #Gileadseries

I actually finished this some weeks ago. I‘ve read 3 of the Gilead books - all loans from the library- and as you can see, I found a copy of Jack on my last visit. Honestly, I think I need to purchase the box set because I really kind of love Marilynne Robinson‘s writing, and each book comes with its own astonishing meditative gifts. #marilynnerobinson #gileadseries

I feel like this would be a good book to read when it's raining or snowing. It's such a quiet read. Like listening to a old country song or reading a poem. I kept forgetting I was reading it and would set it aside while I went back to reading an e-book or two before picking it back up.
I did like it. If I was in the right mood for it, I wouldn't of taken so long to get through it. The writing was excellent. 3.5 stars

The third book in the Gilead series, I really enjoy these quiet and thoughtful books. We are in the midst of another lockdown here in Melbourne so the slower pace kind of matches my mood. ⭐⭐⭐ Maybe I need something cheery next 🤔

Started this today. Hoping to read it and Jack before the end of the year. If I manage, I will have read all of Robinson's novels in the past year.
Also shopping for Xmas cards.
