bailedThis pretty book can‘t hold my attention right now. The world building and explanation of the science/magic isn‘t gelling for me. So at 60 pages, I‘m #hibernating it. I may try again later this month, or it may be a complete bail. Too bad, I also have book 2…
1. Throwing books in the garbage. My husband will do this sometimes when he finishes a book that he dislikes. I usually see it sitting on top of the trash and save it.
2. I do like.

panI really, really wanted to love this book. I was so excited. But Ellen came across as over-privileged and self absorbed. The storytelling failed to suck me in and I found myself trying to get through this as quickly as possible so I could move onto more interesting books. The end was a bit abrupt, though the sweet notes to pets were heartwarming. Disappointing all around.
#Hibernating this book for now as I keep falling asleep when I go to read it. I still want to read it some day though, it's just not the right time at the moment. #marchunshelfing failure with first book! @Clwojick
pickAfter falling in love with Vermont on a vacation, Ellen Stimson and her family move from St. Louis to a small town, Dorset. They then decide to buy the town‘s country store, a fixture of the community, and make one incredible mistake after another.
I understand how this book has gotten some negative reviews. You can‘t help but shake your head at some of their mistakes and feel a bit bad for the townspeople, but I found the stories very humorous.
I started this but was not in the mood to read it.
But what I read was about dancing. So #cabaret

It‘s been snowing since about 10am and there‘s no sign of it stopping anytime soon! It feels very much like Christmas so it‘s timely that my hold on this book came through on Overdrive. Even though this has been pretty universally panned by my fellow Littens, I thought I‘d give it a go. Hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday. Snuggle up and stay warm!❄️ #hibernating
so-soStimson & her family move to a small town in Vermont, bring a contractor and crew from St. Louis to remodel their home, buy the local country store on a whim and run it into the ground & generally upset the locals. There was definitely humor in here and her sections on what makes Vermont so special were beautiful, but I was more annoyed with her than anything else. Rich people moving to “quaint” towns and then trying to change them annoy me.
