Welcome to Litsy!

#WeeklyForecast

I‘ve started some books that‘ll take a longish time to finish; Dissolution #ShardlakeSeriesBR, a 2 month buddy read and The BookShop Book

I‘ll undergo surgery tomorrow and not sure how much reading I‘ll get done

Tom Lake returned from Libby and I want to continue that

I want to finish The Switch

The rest are possibilities; The Secrets of the Stormforest, Slemme Jenter (Bad Girls) and the Icelandic author Jon Kalman Stefansson

Beautiful, thoughtful, and deeply kind, The Morningside is about coming-of-age is a changed and changing world.

I enjoyed this but I don't think it's on the top of my Women's Prize list. Though the writing is quite beautiful.

Patchett never disappoints, and this is no exception. I finished it outside, with a bowl of cherries by my side. Knowing Our Town and The Cherry Orchard add depth, but are not necessary for the enjoyment of this warm novel. Highly recommended.

So fun to recognize #StorySettings. Petoskey, Traverse City, and "Washed Cherries" signs bring back great memories as a #MittenLitten. As a teen, hubs worked landscaping at Grosse Point Yacht Club where Sabatian plays tennis and where I grew up on Lake St. Clair.

I'm really not the audience for delicate, slice of life literary fiction but the first person format made this more relatable, even if still kind of obscure. I may read the sequels because I'm curious about the lockdown story.

Today‘s Prompt: FLOWER SHOP

After sleeping in the woods for some time, hunger and cold made her walk boldly into a “flower shop” and ask to help the florist.  

To me this book stood for unconditional love, for hardship, for talent, for disappointment, and for working for what you really want.
