Welcome to Litsy!

Quiet, stoic, sturdy are the words that come to mind about these stories set in southwestern Minnesota. Snow and ice can hide unknown depths as can reticence and mild despair. I loved some of the imagery in “Beneath my skin like honey” and “Blue Snow.” I wish there had been more joy woven through these interconnected stories. 3+⭐️

My finds for today, along with variegated basil which I hadn‘t seen before. Smells sooo good!

There‘s absolutely nothing in the world like hearing an author read her own stories. I love my job. #librarian #librariansoflitsy #librarylife

The Winter Bees is a lovely and powerful collection of ten short stories; each story allows the reader to look into the window of rural life. This collection of short stories made me laugh, cry, and find “love at first sight" - in a matter of sentences. #minnesota #shortstories
