pickWhat a great book to wrap this series with! I have always been a sucker for wartime stories, so I think this being set in WWI is part of why I think it is (just a little bit!) better than a few of the books that came before. This is a belated post, as I finished this read during a work trip earlier this week, but I had a loaner phone with no Litsy so I couldn't post about it in real time.
pickI‘m sure this is one that was recommended in my early Litsy days. The narrator was good, but the story was heartbreaking.
Not quite #bookmail, but close! 😃 New skirt (with pockets) based on Anne of Green Gables, and I got to support a small Canadian business, Kaypop Art Studio (https://www.kaypopart.com/).

If you haven't read this book, I suggest you remedy that as soon as possible. Although, of course, everyone has different tastes on what is the best kind of book. :)
I was out running errands and popped into Dollar Tree because I remembered that I needed super glue. I checked the book aisle, saw they restocked, grabbed as *much* as I could carry, ran into a former student and awkwardly chatted while my face was partially obscured by a towering book stack that kept getting heavier, aaand then proceeded to leave the store without super glue. 🤦🏼♀️ But look at this awesome stack for $20!!
pickWhat a lovely story. And very unique, despite its homage to The Secret Garden, and not just in place and character. Positioned with teens rather than children opens the door for romance, and Mary and Sophie are so sweet as they discover first love. Despite the horror and pain of the Craven storyline (no spoilers!) this book is largely a pretty picture of Ontario‘s North, with beautiful gardens, of course. I liked it quite a bit more than expected!
so-so2.5⭐️ While the book was written very well, I just didn‘t connect very well with the characters. Partly it had to do with the fact that I was unable to put a time period to the story. #bookclub #canadian #fiction #historicalfiction
