batsy Her expression 😁💜 2mo

dabbe If looks could ... talk! She's rockin' the shag haircut that everyone seems to be getting these days! Esther the Influencer! ❣️🐾❣️ 2mo

BkClubCare @dabbe - I am sure she would roll her eyes at you for that (but secretly quite pleased you acknowledge her importance.) She is more cat like as she ages?! She is 12 2mo

Greenwich Park | Katherine Faulkner

pan

I am not a fan of mystery/thrillers unless they have the warp and weft of “literary fiction” more than a genre formula. I do understand that defining such is difficult! (At least for me…) this one bugged me from the first page. I skipped and tested my way through and read the ending, calling it done. #BookClub #ReadICT #ColorinTitle category #DogsofLitsy #EstherFest #whpg #eBook

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: A Novel | Gabrielle Zevin

pick

A book about the love of friendship, finding one‘s way in the world with support, spurning that support and coming back to it. I enjoyed it a lot and honestly felt it to be a more mature book than AJ Fikry. Has a higher thread count. Zevin is one to keep watching. I am curious abt her screenwriting, too. #tob2023
Esther‘s turn to pose with the book; she is experienced at this. #DogsofLitsy #whpg #EstherFest

Ruthiella That‘s encouraging to hear! I DNFed A. J. Fikery. Not to be too Grinch-like, but it was way too heartwarming for my tastes. 😜 And yes, Esther can strike a pose! She‘s a pro! ❤️🐶 (edited) 3mo

Readerann Looking forward to this one! 3mo

tpixie 🌺 🐶 🌺. We‘re planning on reading this for @litsybookclub this year. I can‘t wait! 3mo

The Searcher | Tana French

so-so

Esther prefers reading eBooks on her iPad via the kindle app (than reading on her clunky Kindle) #EstherFest

This might be a 4star read but I think I will keep it with a 3star rating on gr — even if it did have apple pie — but it just failed to excite me after the startling “reveal”/twist. It was OK, it did get me over a bit of a slump, sure; but it felt flat like low-carbonated sodapop. Or something.

The Great Amherst Mystery: A True Narrative of the Supernatural | Walter Hubbell

@teebe I love a good ghost story and locally, we have tons! The story of Esther Cox (tagged book) overshadows the other stories now since we've capitalized on it (seriously, if you're ever in the area in October #EstherFest is a go to event!) but if you find a local there are some great legends to be heard! Some details have been lost for this one but I'll try my best.

Here's the heartbreaking story of The Marsh Witch
👇👇😑

FantasyChick Our tiny little town borders the next province and we are separated by tons of marsh land. You drive down one street and it just stops and turns from paved road to dirt. Nothing but marshland and access roads. It's kind of unsettling especially at night.

I'm not sure of the exact year anymore but it was a while ago. 1y

FantasyChick Down on the marsh was a family with a mentally ill daughter and they had a large farmhouse with lots of farmland property there. Enough that they had hired staff to keep the farm going. One day some of the farm hands lured the girl out the barn with news of a new birth by one of the animals. Once she had been lured out, they proceeded to r*pe her in the barn. This inevitably leads to her becoming pregnant. 1y

FantasyChick Now, it's not really known what happened in between the r*pe and the birth, with the farmhands and the family but eventually she gives birth to the child. The story goes that after the birth the girl's father takes and kills the baby, burying it on the marsh property. 1y

See All 7 Comments

FantasyChick Traumatized, the girl becomes increasing difficult and hard to handle and ends up being moved to a small house on the property where she is kept alone and only visited to be brought food. How she died has been lost over the years but she remained locked in that house for the remainder of her life. 1y

FantasyChick Legend says that if you go down to the marsh at night and see lights (it's pitch dark there at night. The only lights visible are in the distance from houses or the highway on the other end) it's her out searching for her lost baby and the men that wronged her. It's sad and creepy and completely unsettling but that's the story of our Marsh Witch. Or the Marsh Lights, depending on who you talk to. 1y

FantasyChick Hope you enjoyed this lost local legend @teebe ! #creepychristmas 1y

teebe Wow that‘s awful. And marshes are already fairly creepy. I used to absolutely devour books about Canadian ghost stories but I‘ve never heard this one! Thanks for sharing! 1y

Salvage the Bones | Jesmyn Ward

Oh no! I was just about to start this because it was on the longlist for the Goodreads Tournament of Favorites; but the shortlist was announced yesterday. This is not on it. DO I READ it anyway? (I do want to read it someday but right now I want to read “something else”. ) #ToFavorites #ToB2021Faves #EstherFest #EstherAssisting #DogsofLitsy
It‘s

xicanti I‘m pretty sure Esther and I agree you should read that something else. This one‘ll keep. 2y

BkClubCare @xicanti - thank you. I know E-pup thanks you. 2y

mcctrish Goodreads tournament of favourites? This is the first I‘m hearing of this and so intrigued. ( I just finished Salvage the Bones, on my tbr forever and also received as a gift. It was heavier material than I thought I was up for this far into the pandemic but I‘m glad I stuck with it. It‘s a wonderful story 2y

BkClubCare @mcctrish - oh, I know it is likely terrific - just need to not allow distractions 🤣 (Like Litsy?!) and yes! Join the Tournament of Books group on goodreads and join in! Shortlist was just announced- the volunteers had originally listed every nonwinner from last 16 years of the tourney, we voted and wa la! The slate is terrific. I only need to read Stephen Florida. 2y
