Welcome to Litsy!

Thank you so much for this lovely gift, Megan! @TheKidUpstairs ☺️

I bet you thought it was lost in the post, didn‘t you? It looks like you posted it in September! 🤨

I‘m glad you like it so much and that makes me look forward to reading it even more! ❤️

I wish more had happened in this book. The characters were interesting, but the story just kind of wandered. Low pick.

Oh. Ah well.

Just announced the winner of this year‘s Booker Prize

I‘m quite happy about this since I enjoyed it while I read it

I just started this, my fourth book from the #Booker shortlist. I like the writing style, but damn that first chapter was uncomfortable! 🫤

I was hooked by the opening chapter where an older woman is seducing a young boy. This is almost like a reverse Bartleby the Scrivner as the main character passively agrees to almost anything.

The feeling when:

You take your eye off the library hold list for one minute and everything comes rushing in.

Full on Murphy's Law.

Five generations of Metís women, how their lives intersect & separate, the cycle of family trauma, & the connection of life to earth.

Honestly, this was lovely to listen to, but occasionally so confusing I had to rewind several times. POVs of the women, bison, dogs, a car, the Earth itself made for an interesting, intense, inspiring, & very confusing read. This is not a book to listen to while trying to do other things.?????

The first in the series by L R Wright. I enjoyed the characters and the plot was interesting. There was sadness in several parts. 4/5⭐️

Nope.
