Welcome to Litsy!

I read this book for the #novelandteabookclub I was taking part in. I would not have picked it up on my own. The writing is excellent and the characters are real. Family drama, though, are just not my thing and especially not when religion--any religion--plays such a large part. If you like books about family, do pick it up. @mdm139 @LazyDays @Schlinkles @TheKidUpstairs @SkeletonKey

I was very much looking forward to this book. I loved the plot and characters. I certainly didn't care it was darkBut something about it was just off for me. I think it was that I found the translation somewhat stilted in places. I know it wasn't life events because the freelance I did during this time was great. I know others loved it entirely so this is a me thing. #novelandteabookclub @LazyDays @mdm139 @Schlinkles

I have so many feelings about this book. I was strongly reminded of The Burning of Bridget Cleary. Everything about this book seemed tailor made for me. It is the story of a boy thought to be a changeling. Kent captures pre-Famine Irish village perfectly. I can't praise this one enough. #novelandteabookclub @mdm139 @LazyDays @Schlinkles

So much tea! So many snacks! I am set. A certain photobomber likes the smell of cinnamon. Thank you @mdm139 ! I cannot wait to dig into this one. Mine will be going out Monday. #novelandteabookclub @Schlinkles @LazyDays
