Mastering the Art of French Murder | Colleen Cambridge

What does this Rock & Rye have to do with solving a French murder mystery? Hint: True Detroiters will call it "pop". Fun read with the added bonus of a bit of Julia Child. #MittenLitten

Beach Read: the ONLY laugh-out-loud love story you�ll want to read on holiday | Emily Henry

Just started this. I'm not a huge romance fan, but I did enjoy Book Lovers, so I have hopes for this one. We're having a book discussion of it at the end of the month.

CrowCAH I‘m reading this too AND having a book discussion at the end of the month! Are you a #MittenLitten, part of GDRW Greater Detroit Romance Writer‘s? Your name doesn‘t ring a bell as one of our members. 3mo

TiredLibrarian @CrowCAH No, I'm in upstate NY. I'll be interested to hear what you & the group think of it! 3mo

CrowCAH @TiredLibrarian awesome, glad your group chose this book too for a summer BEACH READ! Same, let me know what you think. 3mo

I didn‘t enjoy this as much as People We Meet on Vacation. I was given this book by another vacationer while we were in St. Thomas.
I saw another review that praised how accurately Henry described life in Michigan and Up North summers. I‘m not familiar with either. Does anyone else agree/disagree with that?

TheHeartlandBookFairy I'm not familiar with this book, but if it's about up North in Michigan. Then it's a must read for me, LOL. 4mo

Read4life @TheHeartlandBookFairy I‘m curious to hear your thoughts on it. 4mo

JamieArc I‘m a #mittenlitten and spend quite a bit of time on Lake Michigan, including the Northern parts. I could definitely see a combination of several Lake Michigan towns when I was reading this. Henry herself went to college in one of those towns. (edited) 4mo

TheHeartlandBookFairy @JamieArc Well this is definitely going on my TBR list 😊 4mo

gossamerchild I grew up in West Michigan, not far at all from many of the towns she was talking about :-) (I think it's a combination of several West Michigan beach towns). So yeah, it seemed really accurate from my experience. I LOVED this book, mostly because of the homesickness I got from it :-) 4mo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I really enjoyed this one. 4mo

Read4life Thank you for the info, @JamieArc @gossamerchild 4mo

Harriet Said...: A Virago Modern Classic | Beryl Bainbridge

Major score. I‘ve been looking for this one for a long time. It‘s loosely based on a crime that was committed in Australia. I found this at the Maple Street Antiques Mall in Mason, Michigan. #mittenlitten

LeahBergen Nice! I have this one with a different cover. 4mo

quirkyreader @LeahBergen I‘ve seen the other cover as well. I hope you are staying safe with all the fires going on. 4mo

LeahBergen @quirkyreader Thank you, I am! They are quite a bit north of me but we have been blanketed with a lot of the smoke for the last few days. 4mo

CarolynM @LeahBergen Nasty! Hope the fires are out soon. 4mo

LeahBergen @CarolynM Thanks! Me, too. 4mo

Pollinator Friendly Gardening: Gardening for Bees, Butterflies, and Other Pollinators | Rhonda Fleming Hayes

Yesterday was our Friends of The Library plant sale out in Mason, Michigan. And yours truly was out in unseasonably cold weather working it. And afterwards I went to other places in town to get more plants. #mittenlitten.

The Long Winter | Laura Ingalls Wilder

I held my breath awaiting Pa‘s return. This chapter reminded me of the great plows that were eventually made to clear the tracks. I‘ve seen them at the Henry Ford Museum.

sblbooks @megnews that's interesting about the plow, I've never seen that before. I'm so glad they got to see Mr Edwards again 5mo

Bookwormjillk @CrowCAH no, but family in Cleveland has us traveling to Michigan a lot. We love the lakes! 5mo

CrowCAH @megnews awesome, glad you‘ve been able to get to The Henry Ford!!! 5mo

CrowCAH @Bookwormjillk Michigan is a great state, we have a lot of attractions! 5mo

Bookwormjillk @CrowCAH yes, we love it 5mo

TheBookHippie I love that museum and greenfield village. 5mo

BarbaraJean It was so great to see Mr. Edwards again! His comments on taxes and politicians were interesting, too—I read an article a while back that said your politics/view of government largely depended on whether you had lived mostly in rural or urban areas. I can see how true that is in a chapter like this—government doesn‘t seem so useful when there‘s little to no infrastructure and you have to clear the train tracks of snow yourself! 5mo

mrp27 Interesting! Agreed, so happy to have a visit with Mr. Edwards. 5mo

I love when books actually get Michigan right. Of course I love January and Gus and their banter and their chemistry, but on this #reread, I was really struck by how well Henry captured an Up North summer. And we stan a passionate defense of romance novels! #contemporaryromance #romcom

FashionableObserver I loved this one! Actually, I love all of her books! Did you see it‘s going to be a movie?! https://deadline.com/2023/04/20th-century-emily-henrys-beach-read-yulin-kuang-12... (edited) 5mo

suvata Yep! Born in Saginaw. Childhood in Detroit. Young adulthood in Troy. Raised my son in Madison Heights. I lived briefly in Upstate New York, California, Texas, and now live in Florida, but I still call Michigan home. I love the MittenLitten hashtag. 💛💙❤️ 6mo
