I was pleasantly surprised when I started following Lillian on her walk. I was curious to see how a character’s flanerie, could be ample for depth and value in a book. At first, I was wondering how this story would be exciting–after all, she is just walking through New York City for a few hours. The story is narrated by Lillian Boxfish as she takes a walk throughout New York City on New Year’s Eve in 1894. Obviously this didn’t happen, but I wish I did have the time to do that. I Took A Walk With Lillian Boxfish Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk is a fantastic book which I just wanted to sit and continuously read until I finished. So when I say that “earlier this year” I picked up Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk, I’m pretty much referring to February…and I sadly only finished the book in the middle of May. The only thing I’m notorious for doing, is starting a book and then getting caught up in reading articles and writing content that I leave the book in the same spot on the shelf for a while. For those wondering how often I read books, the answer is: pretty often. Earlier this year I was at my local Chapters looking for a new read to add to my bookshelf (hence this going into my bookshelf series posts) and came across the book Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk, by author Kathleen Rooney.
