@Kimbono on Litsy

I loved this and did not want it to end. It reminded me of my very favorite book Olive Kitteridge. Beautifully written and heartbreaking but hopeful, too.

LeslieO Good to hear! I bought it based on a positive review from Annie B. Jones of From the Front Porch Podcast. 2mo

Kimbono @LeslieO I‘ll have to seek out the podcast. Hope you like the book. 🙂 2mo

LeslieO @Kimbono Another one she recommended that seems similar is Pete and Alice in Maine. Also on my TBR 2mo

Kimbono @LeslieO Just added it to my list. Thanks! 2mo

Sea of Tranquility: A Novel | Emily St. John Mandel

Friday off with a cat on my chest and a book in my hand 😻 I‘m halfway through the book and really enjoying it. I‘m sad it‘s so short.

Kimbono I really loved this book. Her writing is smooth and gentle and instead of aggressively trying to put the pieces together I just let it happen. It‘s a good book to set down from time to time to just think. And not to try and figure it out but to think about the time we‘re living in now. 5 ⭐️ (edited) 2y
