Welcome to Litsy!

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii It's Friday! I start my holidays tomorrow.
1. Look at my pretty petunias that receeded themselves from last year
2. I won 2nd place with the Seeing Green Photo contest.
3. My African Violet is blooming again
4. Sold this small painting
5. Finally, the construction of a new road behind my house has stopped. It's peaceful behind my house.

“Endless” #5

I‘ve blown through the first 4 books of the Sparrow Falls series from Catherine Cowles. Romantic suspense, they are a little repetitive but the characters are compelling, the pacing keeps me reading, and the family dynamic is heartfelt and hilarious. I‘m reading #5 and will then have to wait until fall for #6. Broken Harbor was my #BookspinBingo pick. @TheAromaofBooks

This book was brutal. I can‘t say I enjoyed reading it, but I did learn a lot. It‘s a dual timeline novel, set in 1930s Berlin and 1950s Buenos Aires. Both locations were written with a strong sense of time and place, and the novel was well-researched, particularly the sections that took place in Argentina. ⬇️
