Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed this wonderful book. Beautiful themes of love, healing, and starting over after abuse. It brightened day. My only minor complaint is that I could tell it was written by someone who had vacationed in Maine but not lived here. Vacationing here vs living here are two different experiences, IMO.
Aside from that, great read!

#MentalHealthMonday check-in

How‘s everyone? I‘m OK. Trying to maintain a balance between staying informed and staying sane. Made an appointment with my counselor/coach for next week. Today I went for a walk and finished this lovely audiobook. It was enjoyable.

Normally I do a second or third question, but I couldn‘t think of any today. So I thought a basic check-in would suffice. Hope everyone is hanging in there!

This one was so much more satisfying than its predecessor and I really liked being with Emily solely, rather than flipping around to her other family members...although I am so fond of Arlene. I had a little trouble with the timeline since Wish You Were Here seems like it takes place roughly a decade before this book. Rufus, her still elderly dog, was still around?! I'm happy he was, though. 🐶

Really enjoyed this book about a #freshstart!

Prompt: ANGEL

What a lovely, lovely book.

Widowed at 40, lonely, wondering what to do now after she had let years pass by, "Angel" Dawn Marie decided to vacation in Scotland. 

If you enjoy Scottish history and listening/reading the written Gaelic brogue, you will fall in love with the book and definitely the characters.

Not in my top favorites of the year but still a good read. In The Year of Second Chances the MC Robin learns that her deceased husband set her up a dating profile for her to move on a year after his death. The book follows her along the journey of really dealing with her grief and ultimately finding herself with what is next. She learns it's ok to take care of yourself after she's taken so much time caring for everyone else.

Any guesses on how many pages I read before this bench gets uncomfortable?

1. I don't often go on picnics, but I'd take either hard-boiled eggs, deviled eggs, or an egg salad sandwich. Homemade iced tea to drink.

2. The tagged book 📖
