The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek | Kim Michele Richardson

pick

I enjoyed learning more about the Pack Library during the WPA days, the blue people of Kentucky, and … getting to know Cussy Mary aka Bluet. A satisfied read but a critical eye might ruin it. But hey! Giving it high marks for BOOKS 📚 and for PIE 🥧!!! I think this completes my #WiaN2022 #WhatsinaName #Challenge for 2022 🎉 #WiaN

A clever story about letters (alphabet) told in letters (by correspondence) that amazed me! I had been wanting to read this since I first heard about it many years ago. Something about this year has me finally inspired to read these longtime-tbrs. This one is fun; lucky but fun. #DogsofLitsy #EstherAssisting She is such a good model for me.

BkClubCare Going to mail the card featuring the alphabet to a friend I haven‘t chatted with for too much time now. We used to do a silly exchange by theme: of a letter in the alphabet!! Last week had a “day” of reconnecting with an old friend. Today‘s the day for me. 2y

BkClubCare Am wondering 💭 if I can count this for the Botanical category of #WhatsinaName Challenge 2y

AvidReader25 It‘s been years since I read this one but I remember how clever it was! 2y

BkClubCare I never told Litsy that I was reading this! Breaking out of my typical Litsy-ing mode? 2y

BkClubCare Loved the movie, too! Book slightly better but a solid film, understandably adapted. 1y
