A classic SAA novel! Like Garden Spells & The Sugar Queen, I left Other Birds feeling like I‘d just visited a beautiful location. Set on a southern coastal island, its multi-character perspective of mysterious events and watchful ghosts was just suspenseful enough, just cozy enough to keep me reading all day! I finished reading in a single day at home. Thanks for sharing with our #LMPBC group, @Johanna414 I‘ll be mailing this out asap. 3.5/5⭐️

Readergrrl @Johanna414 I know I just mailed Enchanted Rooms to you, but I actually finished it over a week ago. I was just very late getting to a post office. I‘ll be happy to get this one to you before its due date! Thanks for sharing it. So much fun to read!! (edited) 1mo

18 year old Zoey starts a new life in a small town in South Carolina, hoping to put her past behind her. There she meets a similar cast of characters (and their ghosts) and finds an unexpected new family. This book had good plot, though I found the characters to not have a lot of emotional depth. I enjoyed reading it anyway.

Tommy and I are snugged up enjoying the newest SAA book. Even though I bought it the day it came out (preordered, actually), I saved reading it until I knew I had a few days free where I could take my time and savor the book.

It's so difficult not to blast right through it, but I know I only get one chance to read it the first time. Does anyone else feel like that about favorite authors?

Hi #GroupJ I‘m a little late sending out Enchanted Rooms (January seemed filled with too much to get much good reading done), but I will mail ASAP. I have received Other Birds and, now that things have calmed down a bit here, I‘m very eager to read that too!! #LMPBC

An enchanting tale of lost souls, lonely strangers, secrets that shape us, and how the right flock can guide you home.

Another good book by Sarah Addison Allen to finish the month with. Another great story, another great cast of characters. I loved the ending.

This book went from ok to good to very good. I especially liked the end. I love ghost stories. Throw in a little bit of magic, and you have a good read. I‘d say the only downfall is that parts were more than a little far fetched. This is a book that I will be passing on to friends and family. One other thing. I love birds, so that was a big plus for this book.

It felt like a ghost story, but it really isn‘t. Could it be a mystery? Well, no. What this wonderful book offers us is a tale about loss, loneliness, pain, hope, and the power of love. We are not meant to live alone, but many of us, including these powerful characters do until we are made whole by the families we create. “And the holes are where the live comes through” (p.261)

If you‘ve loved TJ Klune‘s books, you‘ll love this novel!

I enjoyed this quiet story about the residents of the Dellawisp, a small apartment in the town of Mallow Island, SC, their secrets, & the untold stories that emerge soon after the death of one of the residents. It‘s a story about grief & healing, loneliness, courage, love (in its many forms), found family, & the connections that people forge.

I have had the #ARC of this one since summer & it should never have taken me so long to get to it & finish it as I love SAA & her charming stories filled with quirky characters & magical realism. Set in South Carolina, at the fictional Dellawisp apartments on Mallow Island, named for the tiny turquoise birds that inhabit the area & it follows the residents when Zoey shows up to spend the summer in the apartment her mother escaped to while alive ⬇️

DebinHawaii … before starting college. The other residents include a henna artist running from her past, a chef & assorted ghosts who all tell their stories. I am a sucker for found family stories & this one made me both smile & tear up-all the feels. 💙 3mo

Full Review and a Recipe at: https://southernersreadtoo.com/2022/12/01/a-wisp-of-hope/

This was a charming book. Despite the terrible childhoods that each character experienced, this book radiated positivity. You found yourself rooting for each character as they began to find the connection they sought with each other. Some portions of the book felt a bit unpolished.

11-27-22: My 118th finished book of 2022! This was a lovely story. Zoey has left home to move into her deceased mother‘s condo on Mallow Island in Charleston called the Dellawisp, named after the birds that make their nests in the trees there. Zoey meets the other inhabitants of the Dellawisp, all with interesting origin stories and ghosts from their pasts lingering on. Lives change, ghosts reveal their thoughts, Zoey brings them all together. 💖

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I didn‘t realize this would be the perfect read for me at this time in the year. Like a lot of people, autumn brings with it the smell of falling leaves, life leaving plants, & a blanket of grief that kind of just hugs your shoulders. I can‘t explain it, but if you know what I‘m saying, then you know. This book in the end was about letting go & being happy. Moving on. In this life & in the next. #otherbirds #botm
