pickA slower paced book set in a Scottish village about a woman who lost a son and has to deal with those emotions when a young boy washes up in a storm years later. While it was a slower paced book it still held a good pace to it and was an enjoyable read. The book makes you feel like you are in a 1900 coastal village. It is character driven and the main character became a bit annoying but after reading the ending it all comes together beautifully.
Went to a book fair marketed as an adult scholastic book fair this afternoon. It was cute. Small. But cute. Loving my Richard Scarry bookmark! These are my purchases: (The Fisherman‘s book is actually an ARC but was $5 so I let it slide. Really the quality of the ARC was quite similar to my full-price purchase of the Nat Cassidy book. Things that make me go 🤔)
#FridayNightReadingHour with my favourite snack - baguette, cheese and green olives. Also borrowing my kids Jurassic blanket for this reading session. My drink is on the nightstand 🤦♀️.
Hoping to finish this book soon...I've enjoyed it so far just haven't had much time for reading.

Our eldest is at his last day of summer camp and our youngest decided that she'd like to spend the morning at the park before we go swimming this afternoon. So we picked up a lemonade for her and a dragonfruit drink for myself. Going to start the tagged book that I picked up from the library. Another book I know nothing about...I've read some great books this year by picking books I know nothing about so hopefully this is a good book too!
This was an unusual story. While I really enjoyed it for the most part I also found parts to be tedious. I didn‘t connect with any of the characters and to me it‘s important to do that. Overall though it was an ok book.
This is a heartbreaking story. But filled with so much heart and hope.

pickThis is described as “The Light Between Oceans meets The Snow Child “ and that is a perfect description of the overall feel of this poignant book. Set in a small Scottish fishing village in the early 1900s, it is a story of hardship, secrets, grief, guilt and love. I enjoyed both the characters and the setting but especially the depiction of how secrets & misunderstandings can destroy lives. Thank to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. 4/5 stars
