When I picked up this book from my mail box I was surprised and thought, what a pretty package from a book I bought from a seller because I didn‘t see the address🤦🏽♀️Then, I opened it and thought, did I buy this book🤔and then I saw it was from @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 😍What a lovely surprise. Yes, it has been 2 difficult 2 months. A lot of changes, trying to get that interior/exterior balance. Immerse on a lot of uncertainties⬇️

"This is a girl who has lived through broken dreams and promises. Stil lives. Will always
live on that hillside, at the center of a world that unfolds all the way to the edges of the #canvas . . . What she wants most-what she truly yearns for-is what any of us want: to be seen. And look. She is."

pickGorgeous fictional telling behind the famous painting “Christina‘s World” by Andrew Wyeth. Lovely glimpse into her life, made harder by the lonely Maine coast living, and her degenerative disease that made walking impossible. I think the book club is going to love this one.
pickThis book falls within the genre of historical fiction. Based on extensive research, the author presents a captivating look into a woman who becomes the muse for Andrew Speth‘s well-known 1948 painting. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy historical fiction and/or readers interested in visual art. Full review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4912301114
pickJuly's pick for one of my book clubs. Started and finished today (the things I can accomplish while camping and not worrying about everything else I need to do!). It was much more interesting than I expected!
📕A Piece of the World
📗Back and forth between audio and a physical copy, so I can get maximum reading time in. Trying to finish it before my book club meeting tonight!
📘At this point, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
📙I don‘t generally mark up my books, unless I‘m reading a book for #LMPBC. I do occasionally use sticky notes.
If you‘re reading this post, consider yourself tagged! 😀
panAudio book. I finally did get some interest towards the end of the book, but by then, I didn‘t know who some of the characters were. And surprise! As I peruse some of the other reviews, I had no idea this was based on a real painting by a real artist. I‘m not much into art.
This was a lovely surprise and it meant a lot to me. Grateful for this detail and your kind words. #LitsyLove A big hug from the distance @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 🥰♥️♥️♥️ 1mo
