Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this book! Every character had substance and growth all in the context of a cross-country road trip. This one‘s on track to be my favorite book of the year. ❤️📖❤️

Stuck in the middle of Winter desperately seeking some #Warmth. The title of this book seemed very appropriate. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who hasn‘t read it. I loved it.

A contemporary tale with a sprinkle of sunshine, match making and soul searching. Kathleen is 80, lives alone and wants adventure. Her daughter, Lisa, wants her to take things easy and think about selling her cottage by the sea.
Kathleen decides to embark on the journey of a lifetime on a road trip across America. She advertises for a driver and it is here we meet Martha. Martha and Kathleen embark on an epic road trip together of self discovery.

Have a great day everyone ❤️

Look what my walking friend & neighbor brought me back from Nashville!!!! Her immediate & extended family were in Alabama for a week celebrating her aunt‘s 100th birthday.

There‘s 9 days left in June and I still have these 18 books on my l radar for #BigJuneReadathon …do you think I can get through them all?

Have you read any of these books? If so, what are your thoughts? 💖

#BigJuneReadathon #Summer

One of my favourite reads from last year. A road book with a bit of a difference. Totally recommended.

My choice for #August for #12Booksof2021 was difficult as was my best reading month of the year and any four of these could have won, and all from different genres.

Summer Seekers just wins, but notable mentions for the other 3 #8thBookof2021

The journey of a lifetime happens for 80 year old Kathleen. She hires young Martha to drive her on Route 66 from Chicago to California. Kathleen‘s daughter, Liza, isn‘t so sure that Martha should be the one to drive her mother across those miles as she is a perfect stranger. Liza is overwhelmed by her husband and kids and life. I loved the characters and could totally picture everything.

Book 4 of #AwesomeAugust Readathon finished.

My first Sarah Morgan, but after this book will definitely not be my last. Loved this book, the characters, the scenario and the bit of romance thrown in there too. A great Summer read. An 80 year old woman travels Route 66 following an intruder in her house. Great story lines for her, her young driver and her daughter. Great journeys of discovery for them all. Strongly recommended.

New book started for #AwesomeAugust

I like the sound of this one. An 80 year old woman goes on a voyage of discovery travelling Route 66 following an intruder breaking into her house. Alongside this we have the story of her young driving companion and her daughter. #SummerSeekers

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday for #LitsySummerCamp - I ended up working over 9 hours!! My limited internet time was spent on #BookSpin shenanigans haha The QOTD was about the weather at camp & I can't complain, despite being out in it all day!! Absolutely gorgeous yesterday, a morning in the 50s & highs in the upper 70s, low humidity - days we dream of in August, come true!!

I also finished the tagged book the other day with some ⬇️

Three women-3 walks of life with private crossroads-one unforgettable summer journey! Kathleen is 80 and plans a final adventure like she did when she was the star of a travel show, but needs a driver. Martha, young, unemployed, and troubled by a recent divorce is desperate for a change even if it means driving Route 66, but she barely passed her drivers permit in England! Liza, Kathleen‘s daughter, stressed with family and needs a change NOW!

The road trip across the US on Route 66 was a big part of the story but not the biggest part. These three women all had to find themselves after being overwhelmed and unappreciated for far too long. I especially feel connected to Liza, the mother/wife of a very busy family: she felt overlooked and invisible. I have felt this way at times in my life too (we all do!) and I appreciate journey Liza took.
