pickBook review catch-up post 4 of 5:
This one didn't resonate with me as much as I expected it to, but it was engaging. There were a few loose ends that I wish had been explained. I would read more by Lansens, so overall I liked it. #ohcanada
Here's pic 2/3 of my epic used book sale haul. Mostly lit fic and canlit. I'm excited for all of it tbh but especially the Helen Humphreys.
And yes, this does totally blow my tbr reduction goals out of the water but who cares. #noregrets

pickI‘m grateful to my writer friend who called this collection a must-read. O‘Neill muses on the lessons learned passed down from her father - an eccentric sometimes criminal who taught Heather to love whimsy and to live with her whole heart. I cried.
Just over a week left and I'm excited to discuss with those who are interested. I'll post a few discussion points in the afternoon of Saturday, May 3rd - which gives everyone a few extra days. Weekdays are too busy with the kiddos - so going forward I'll post discussion points on the Saturday after month end if that works for everyone. If there is anything specific you are interested in discussing please feel free to comment here. #OhCanada
pickFrom the moment of her unexpected birth in 1905 until her death more than 85 years later, Daisy Stone Goodwill experiences all the ups, downs, humor, melancholy, sadness, grief and joy of childhood, young adulthood, marriage, motherhood, widowhood and old age. In other words—a life, lived. This book gave me all the feels.
