so-so#@carolshieldsprize This was a fast read for me. It was well written, but I did not think the novel was special. 3 🌟 I am surprised it is on the long list.

I have eight #River books on my Kindle. I just finished & LOVED Frozen River & read Follow the River Home several years ago. The the others are still in my TBR. 🏞️

I recently rewatched this book to film movie (I read the book years & years ago) & immediately thought of it for today‘s #Shoes prompt. 👠
pickI am such an Emily Austin fan. Her books often feature smart, quirky, emotionally wounded, interesting lesbians. While this tackles mental health issues, it never feels too dark or overwhelming. It feels real, compassionate, and even absurdly funny at times. This book is about Sigrid and her sister Margit. They are each struggling in different ways that are discovered as you read their thoughts in the book. Austin treats her characters so kindly.
pickThere is something so refreshing about Emily Austin‘s captivating dissection of life. She breathes a fresh perspective into whatever she is examining and managed to write a book about suicide that felt curiously delightful.

pickThis is a sweet cozy fantasy about 3 seer sisters who run a tearoom where they read tea leaves for their customers. Positive the tearoom and home is their future, all 3 are surprised to find themselves called to different pursuits just when it seems they most need to be united to the job of helping elder witches find their life tasks. Leans hard on the “failure to communicate” trope but is ultimately a satisfying story about finding your own path.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Emily Austin is an absolute must-read for me! Her books are the perfect blend of intellectual stimulation and quirky darkness; my favorite flavor of literally fiction. This is a heavy story told with an often light tone, and utterly thoughtful. I don‘t know how Austin pulled it off. It‘s hard to describe further without spoiling. This short novel says so damned much. #coverlove
