The Summer of Firsts and Lasts | Terra Elan McVoy

I‘m curious where this statistic comes from. Who tracks this information? It seems like more than 50% these days. I do sometimes avoid getting a book if it‘s in first person. Yes yes I do.

swynn Me too! It feels like there is more and more first person narrative, and that most of it is either a gimmick to encourage the reader to identify with a certain character, or else the author's heavy-handed self-insertion. It's becoming a pet peeve and I'm baffled that it's apparently so popular. 14m

Bear: A Novel | Julia Phillips

pick

A stagnate, desperate existence becomes fertile ground for obsession to root deep.

And the temporary respite it offers through fantasy and distraction so easily gives way to danger and tragic consequence.

Suitably dark, like so many fairy tales of old.

And a practical reminder to never feed the wildlife…

Book review catch-up post 4 of 5:

This one didn't resonate with me as much as I expected it to, but it was engaging. There were a few loose ends that I wish had been explained. I would read more by Lansens, so overall I liked it. #ohcanada

A very windy, but still sunny and warm day to spend the afternoon at the playground with the kiddos. Going to try and get a few chapters in before I get my workout in with a game of tag!

Just over a week left and I'm excited to discuss with those who are interested. I'll post a few discussion points in the afternoon of Saturday, May 3rd - which gives everyone a few extra days. Weekdays are too busy with the kiddos - so going forward I'll post discussion points on the Saturday after month end if that works for everyone. If there is anything specific you are interested in discussing please feel free to comment here. #OhCanada

BooksandCoffee4Me Hi! Being new, I‘m curious- what is the card swap? 1mo

Chrissyreadit @BooksandCoffee4Me Welcome to Litsy! Are you following @LitsyEvents ? @TheBookHippie coordinates card swaps for the seasons- and often people include a poem, stickers sometimes bookmarks- it‘s a fun way to connect with each other. Keep an eye out for the next one. 1mo

Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie I could have sworn it did tbh and do not know why it‘s not on my shelf- but I could have sworn I opened it- then thought maybe i was wrong…. I will let you know if/when I figure out the mystery! 1mo

TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit 🤣♥️🤷🏻‍♀️😘 1mo

Avanders I like all those light blue and green books gathered together there .. very Spring! 🌸🌼🌺 1mo

so-so

#@carolshieldsprize This was a fast read for me. It was well written, but I did not think the novel was special. 3 🌟 I am surprised it is on the long list.
