Welcome to Litsy!

#56 #TheHiddenLifeofTrees #PeterWohlleben GR: 2/5 ⭐️⭐️ Honestly, there was nothing wrong with this book. I really struggle with non-fiction and I fell asleep a few times reading this on the train.. standing up. There were paragraphs I read and thought ‘interesting‘💭 but then the same point was repeated multiple times throughout book. Just not for me but I read it as I thought it would make a nice companion piece to #TheOverstory 🌳

This week's TBR! Have a few really good sounding fiction books, and a book about Laura Ingalls Wilder. Off now to read! Hear about these at https://youtu.be/m8AklUCeR3Y

I loved all of these books! And I am itching to read a big book. Something current (but it doesn‘t have to be a new release). Help a girl out—what big book do you recommend? As is fairly obvious based on the above, I tend to like historical fiction/family sagas. But Capital is not historical, but does have lots of characters with various stories. Suggest me a book, and why you think I might like it! Pretty please 📖📖👍🏼👍🏼

April stats:
17 books read, 7 fiction, 10 nonfiction.
(My nonfiction reading was disproportionate this month)
Best fiction: #TheOverstory
Best nonfiction: #NothingToEnvy

(Photo is of the rhodie in front of our house. It was knee-high when we moved in 30+ yrs. ago-now above the roof.)

Still enjoying this book, but it‘s become very intense. I will never look at trees in the same way, and will never take them for granted.

Yikes! What do you do when 4 library holds come in all at once?? Not to mention the 9 you already have checked out (#TheOverstory, #RussianRoulette, #WhyBuddhism Is True, #TravelsWithCharley, #Brazen, #Citizen, #PackingMy Library, #BlackEatth, and #NaturalCauses.).
