Welcome to Litsy!

My husband is not a reader (aside from hunting regs & articles 😄), however he fully supports the fact that reading is not enough for me, I need to own/write in my own copies. I'm a re-reader & like to revisit the best passages that I have underlined & annotated. Anyway, he did some early shopping for my birthday & came home with these. I'm so excited - I've had Ragged Company on my TBR for so long!! And how beautiful is that Embers cover?! 😍

Short, light & interesting.

This is the second Wagamese novel I‘ve read and I‘ve loved both. A story about homeless people winning the lottery could easily tip into cheesiness but this is a beautiful and empathetic story of people who are often unseen. Each character was whole and real and I teared up several times. It is a very human book. As the novel progresses we learn each characters back story and how they ended up unhoused and how they cope with newfound luck

Such a heartwarming story! Richard Wagamese is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.

Good

1. I LOVED the tagged book. I had never heard of it before someone in my irl book club suggested it. It‘s definitely a favourite of this year and also on my all-time favourites.
2. We‘ve had many great discussions. I think Water for Elephants was a good one. A book none of really liked but the discussion was great was Fishbowl. I would recommend The 57 Bus because it has so many interesting aspects for discussion.

What a sad story, yet uplifting and all written with beautiful words. Loved it. So much to it. Cannot be the only Wagamese I read!

Embarrassingly, this is the first time I'm reading Richard Wagamese. It certainly won't be my last.

Every single sentence is incredible. Piercing. Amazing.
