Welcome to Litsy!

Karen!!! this day has been incredibly rough with a severe crisis this morning- so I was delayed opening your package. This is post 1 of 2 because you are so kind and generous- and the cat butts made me smile ❤️😘 I love all the wonderful cat surprises!!! and books!!!!!! Thank you so much! #naughtylistholidayswap

Sweet story about 3 very different half-sisters who shared their summers with their dad, a quixotic vagabond with a curio shop, who excelled at creating magic wherever he went — & wooing women. When he dies, the estranged adult sisters come together to fulfill his final wishes, including the reinstatement of the town‘s solstice festival. Everyone grows closer & grows up. It‘s a feel-good story, perfect for this time of year.

Journaling and reading by my symbolic lighting of the Yule log. Wishing everyone a happy Winter Solstice!

Finally, it is time for one of my favourite solstice reads and an amazing comfort read! I adore my Jamie and my Maxum. 🧡🧡🧡 Merry Solstice season everyone! (Yes, I know the solstice isn‘t until tomorrow, but this is helping me avoid football and other auditory chaos.

I reread this one every year on the solstice. 💙

I really, really enjoyed this sweet winter story! The summary makes it sound silly, but it really isn‘t. I love that the three main characters are women in their late 30s and early 40s - it makes what they‘re going through relatable for me. And I loved the town, the British-ness, and all the growth we got to see from the characters.
I have never read Jenny Bayliss before, but I would be interested in reading more. The audiobook was also excellent.
