Pickpick

ALL THE FEELS! This book will live in my heart and mind for many years to come! This one resonates deeply with me. This masterpiece focuses on themes of love, loss, family, grief, infidelity, infertility, first love, unmet dreams, divorce, pain, regret, sorrow, and finding oneself. The setting of Croatia is absolutely stunning. I can visualize the beaches, sea, olive grove, and food. It‘s hard to believe that this is a debut novel. 👇🏻👇🏻

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I will read anything this author writes. I feel a huge book hangover coming… this is the perfect book to wrap up your summer reading! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6h

“There was loads of food set up on a large #picnic table just outside the kitchen door. Potato salad with green beans. Sautéed squash with onions and garlic. Tomatoes on their own, or stuffed with cream cheese, or with rice and peppers. Bowls of salad, dressed and undressed. Fresh bread. Berry pie, berry cobbler, berries and cream. Pretty much everything had been grown by the class, and it was enormously satisfying to eat it all.”

📣 Just a quick note to say that #LitsyLove is closed. If you would like to continue writing to your pen pals that is absolutely fine! It was wonderful for the first several years, but it is not the same. I am busy with work, a sick husband, and a grandchild on the way. Too busy to deal with senseless drama from grownups. The lies that are being told are unbelievable, but I expected it! I have never been anything but good to my Litsy family! 👇🏻

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I am thankful for the true friendships I have made here! You know who you are! We did a lot of good for a lot of people in our group and that makes me happy! I devoted a lot of time and energy to this group and for someone to make up lies about “feeling unsafe” in this group is very hurtful and disappointing. But it is what it is and this too shall pass! I will still be posting and active on here so don‘t get too excited 😆 see you on Litsy! 🫶🏻 (edited) 1mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks And you don‘t have to email me and ask to be removed from the group. It hasn‘t been kept up with in a while so whatever list you have is the last one. 1mo
Eggs I understand. Not the same for me either with my frequent visits to Tim‘s assisted living facility, 3 kids and 5 grands. I agree #LitsyLove was great, especially opportunities to help others, including hospitalized kids, stamps for @Sleepswithbooks , birthday greetings, newsletters, letters to the grieving, Christmas cards, etc. Met some amazing people! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks (edited) 1mo

jdiehr Just now seeing this. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into the group! Sounds like things went off the rails a bit. Remember all the positives... @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ❤️❤️ 1mo
julieclair Oh my, Misty. This makes me so sad. #LitsyLove was such a special, caring, welcoming place, whether people were able to participate a lot or just a little. You truly poured your heart into it and it showed. But I totally understand how life circumstances change, and sometimes there‘s just not enough hours in the day to do everything. Please, please focus on all the happiness your efforts brought to so many people. @Eggs ‘s list says it all. 💞💝💞 1mo
Eggs @Sleepswithbooks I have a lot of stamps to send your way one of these days! Still at same address? (edited) 1mo
ImperfectCJ I just saw this, and I suppose it explains why I don't see the shared address list anymore. I stepped back a while ago because the list just felt too overwhelming to me so I'm not aware of the comments you're referring to, but the group was a source of joy for me between 2019 and 2021, and I'm sorry to hear that the situation has brought you stress in recent times. 1mo

Mehhh I‘m going to finish this one just to see what happens with Christopher and Amy…there are way too many characters and it flips all over the place. I‘m very disappointed because of all the raving reviews! I‘ll probably skip his others!

Did you read it? Did you love it? I would love to hear your thoughts!

intothehallofbooks I really liked it! I‘ve also listened to his book The Passengers too and I loved that one as well. Not super deep in terms of plot, but I thought both were fun listens. 1mo

I honestly slept better knowing that Iran doesn‘t have nukes… and I‘m sure you and your family did also.

God bless the US military!!! Thank you for denying the most dangerous weapons to the world‘s most dangerous regime! ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸

I have tried to stay out of the political posts because Litsy was my happy place. I have been blocked and unfriended by people because I have different opinions. And that‘s ok!! 👇🏻

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thankfully we live in a free country and have that right! Thank you again to our military and their families for fighting for our freedom even when people don‘t appreciate it! ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸 1mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks And also to see people in this group wishing death upon a sitting president or anyone for that matter sickens me. So disappointing… 1mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks My husband has been willing and deployed 3 times to fight for all of our freedom and I thank him for that sacrifice! ❤️🤍💙 1mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AnnCrystal we don‘t have to all agree… Thank you, I appreciate it. 🇺🇸 1mo

Read-n-Bloom I agree! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I thank our military and their families too! And it is sooo disappointing when someone, anyone wishes death on anyone especially a sitting president. Thank you and thank your husband for his service! My son-in-law is serving too. He is a Captain in the Army. 1mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Read-n-Bloom thank you so much!! And thank you to your family and your son-in-law for his service 🙏🏻 🇺🇸 praying for you all! 1mo

Mimi28 I respect the military and your husband even more now. My step sister has been in the army for over 20 years now. The Bible says to pray for your enemies so I do wish “ you know who” the best and that he and his administration go down the right path one day. I just don‘t agree with the stuff he does. 1mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Mimi28 thank you… thank you to your step sisters for her service! Everyone will never agree on everything. He took away the power of the worst terrorist organization having nuclear bombs. We should say thank you and all sleep better at night. You don‘t have to agree with him, but I have seen People in this group wishing him death and that is just evil. Take care Michelle! 1mo
Mimi28 Thanks, I don‘t watch the news so I didn‘t know about the nuclear bomb thing. That‘s great! Maybe prayers for him going down the right path are working. I am mostly concerned about Medicaid and Medicare and Social security noting that I depend on all 3 to survive. I am on 14 different medications. You take care also Misty. I will always love you. Did you get my letter? 🩷😊🫶🏽🙏🏽 1mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Mimi28 I have some letters in my bag that I need to go through. I love you too Michelle! We will be in touch ❤️ 1mo
