My exciting post office plans for yesterday were derailed by Presidents Day (which, incidentally, used to be much more fun when we had a good one of those)...

But I got to the post office first thing this morning and my #BlitsyHistoryMonth #BHMswap is on its way east and should arrive on Thursday. 🎉

Also, a #LGPOG book should be to you by Monday, Lesley. 😮

Chelleo Excellent! And same re: Prez Day. 4y
sprainedbrain @Chelleo I received your card and bookmark yesterday! So thoughtful... thank you! ❤️ 4y

Pickpick

The blurb about this book on Litsy neither does it justice nor accurately describes it, so don‘t let that throw you.

I was blown away by this novel: fantastic writing, wonderful character development, a thought-provoking and tragic storyline, and amazing imagery throughout. It‘s equal parts beautiful and brutal, heartbreaking yet optimistic. Definitely not for those that have need of trigger warnings, but a truly great book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

sprainedbrain It‘s been a long time since I had a #LGPOG book to read, and my gosh, did @Owlizabeth pick an awesome one! ❤️ 4y
Owlizabeth 🥰🥰🥰 I‘m so glad you enjoyed - can‘t wait to get this back for a reread!! 4y
BarbaraBB The blurb compares it to True Grit, which I didn‘t like at all. Should I ignore that comparison too? 4y

sprainedbrain @BarbaraBB I haven‘t read True Grit, but based on the blurb for it, I would guess the comparison is due to a teenage girl on their own? I would probably ignore that comparison too—Margo sure doesn‘t have a cowboy helping her. 😬 4y
BarbaraBB Thanks. I‘m not a fan of westerns. Which True Grit is.. 4y
sprainedbrain @BarbaraBB this is definitely not a western. Set around 1980 in very rural Michigan. 4y
BarbaraBB Happy to hear that! Thanks! ❤️ 4y

Well, there‘s 10 minutes to midnight and my reading year is done. I ventured into the delightful world of contemporary romance, I read some kickass fantasy and some truly great literature. I continued with #LGPOG and joined #LMPBC007! It‘s been a rough year, looking forward to better times, hopefully. Much love to you all!! #litsylove

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

YEEEEE!!! Love everything in my #LGPOG gift exchange. 😍 Can‘t wait to read both books, the bath products smell *divine*, and I‘ll happily nibble the chocs while I drink out of my lovely new Austen mug, which will sit nicely on my new Austen coasters. Much appreciated but not pictured: delish ‘Naughty‘ flavored coffee to put in that mug. Will go great with a peppermint cane stirrer! Thanks for your thoughtfulness, @KimM ❤️ Happy Holidays!!!

KimM So glad you liked it! 4y
