LOVED THIS!
It‘s probably not one I would have picked up on my own, it‘s very literary & at a glance seems very serious…
But it was so unique, touching & hilarious.

I just finished PS while vacationing in FLA. I enjoyed this read so much and remain in awe of Kingsolver‘s writing acumen! 3 interwoven stories taking place in a mountainous valley of Appalachia. I found myself tearing up and laughing out loud. Kingsolver‘s ability to put me in the setting is perfection itself! I felt like I was in this lush green world! A little late but I‘m mailing it on to the next person in #Round20 #LMPBC #GroupC 4.5/5⭐️

Readergrrl And I have Broken Monsters from Jenny on my nightstand to begin tonight. (edited) 2w

Good. Set in Appalachia in the 1930s-40s. Coming of age story. Sad in parts, but not overwhelmingly depressing. Ends on a hopeful note (which makes sense because there is a series).

"She needed to listen to this: prodigal summer, the season of extravagant procreation" p. 51. For Deanna, it's the birds. For me, it's noisy frogs as my tiny pond fills with eggs, then tadpoles.This mama (or daddy?) seemed to enjoy my new little solar fountain last year. #SetInYrFaveSeason #NewYearNewBooks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I love, love, love my #nlws package! My daughter and I sat and just smelled the open box before pulling the items out. Scrumptious!!! I adore the winter months for the quiet hibernation, but your gifts make me want to start garden planning or starting some seedlings soon! Who cares that we‘re getting a foot of snow on Sunday! Those knee-highs will keep me toasty! 😂 thank you so much @Chrissyreadit for your generosity! 🌿🌸🌿🌻🌿🌺🌿🌼🌿

TheBookHippie Oh this is wonderful!!!! 4mo
Chrissyreadit I laughed when i opened mine! i felt like we had similar themes💚 4mo
Readergrrl @Chrissyreadit Me too! We should share pictures of our finds once the growing season is upon us. Over the holidays, I was up on an island in the Bay of Fundy. They‘d had a huge windstorm a few days before. I was out gathering fallen Usnea (Old Man‘s Beard) for hours all week long! I want to make tinctures with it this winter! 4mo
Chrissyreadit @Readergrrl you are far more advanced than i am 🌿❤️🌿 4mo

Today‘s Prompt: LUGGAGE ON THE COVER

Babies, folks helping each other, and a difficult, but wonderful era.

One of those books you won't want to put down because the characters are so wholesome and because the story is so homey and heartwarming. Patience and Becky are characters you would want for a friend.

lynneamch Thx for the rec. I almost bailed after a few chapters, but it got much more complex and interesting. Also worthwhile example of government 's role in lifting people up.Really enjoyed the audio. 3mo
SilversReviews @lynneamch I‘m glad it worked out for you. Thanks for your comment. 3mo

I read The Arctic Fury by Greer Macallister at the peak of summer so it‘s only fair that I read Prodigal Summer when it is freezing outside. 😅

Three MCs and I love all of them. This is a book to be savoured. 💚☀️

Ruthiella Hi you! It‘s been a while. 😃 5mo
BiblioLitten @Ruthiella Hi Ruth! 😊 It‘s been a crazy couple of months and my reading took a hit too but I‘m edging back. Hope all is well with you 💕 5mo
