Great stand-alone but, I do wonder about it‘s follow up novel. Might just be worth looking into🤫♥️📚

#WeekendReading #BookNookBuddies2022 #ReadMyRoom #SeriesRead #PenniesPerPage #BookSpinBingo

Another series random from the shelves. I‘m mesmerized by the cover though tbh🤫😊

The longer I listened, the more irritated I became, which is not what I want to feel when reading a romance.

I have so many issues with this book. Most of them about the MC Merry. I finally DNF‘d it at 60%. I may pick it up later (much, much later) just to get to the HEA. But for now, I just can‘t.

Twin brothers - one girl. Which will she pick and will they be happy? This is a light and fun romance, just the book I needed now. Another author to add to my "must read" list.

I went out for a walk today listening to the tagged book. This sweetie stopped to see what I was up to. The rest of her herd ran off.

I always enjoy books by @EloisaJames! I really liked the heroine, Merry. The story didn't go where I'd expected, but was just what I needed to read today😀

An adorable historical #romantsy Merry is an American who has crossed the pond in search of a husband. She says yes to Lord Cedric‘s proposal and immediately regrets it when she meets a hunky Stranger. ❤️ There‘s a very cute puppy rescue that reminds me of Arabella by Georgette Heyer. 👍👍 thanks for a great read @EloisaJames

Starting a new #romantsy with some passionfruit tea ❤️

Merry is an outspoken American heiress who travels to England after breaking off two engagements. When she meets the prickly Duke of Trent, sparks fly. He is determined to have her, but she has just accepted a proposal from his brother.

Cute historical romance.

Trent and Merry are not suppose to be for each other. At all. I love how their story plays out and the attempt to use logic to over throw emotion, even if it backfires immensely. See how fully Merry embraces love and how desperate Trent is to be loved, despite his best attempts to push it away, was wonderful.

Setting aside this and a few other books to get @TheKidUpstairs #LMPBC #GroupW selection read and on its way to @DebbieGrillo

Thank you @CouronneDhiver for the chocolate 🙂

I read this one on vacation last week - a perfect pool and beachside read. I can‘t resist a fun historical romance and this story of a runaway bride who has promised herself that her third engagement will last (enter the sexy distracting man who is NOT her fiancé) is perfect. ? #romantsy

This was my first romance novel in 25 years, but thanks to Litsy I thought it would be fun to try again. This was the perfect week for it, since my brain wasn't ready for heavy reading. I loved Merry because she grew as a woman in the course of the story. And wow, the sex is pretty sizzling. I'm not a romance convert yet, but am glad for the chance to revisit it all these years later.

I'm running into a little bit of a wall for my #24in48 so I am going to switch to audio and switch genres! I am really excited to start this book!!!!!

I thought @EloisaJames would enjoy seeing which of her titles are available here in Manila!

#FullyBooked #bookstore #romantsy

And while at the library I browsed the sale shelves and came home with 9 more books....this is why I don't usually bring money to the library. I'll have to put the other couple in another post. #bookhaul1

Hey, everyone at #BEA17!!! We need to @Litsy Swarm @EloisaJames at her booth!!! Be at the booth by 12:45, and we'll see if she'll let us do a massive group pic! 😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Let's show BookExpo how big and great Litsy is! Hat tip @Reecaspieces for showing me her schedule, that girl's got organization skills! 😎😉👍🏻 #LitsyPhotoOp

My first book on the cruise and it was a good one! It had been on my TBR for ages and thank goodness I finally picked it up from the library! The characters were amazing and it was delightfully long. I highly recommend! #romantsy

I went to pick up my hold (bottom for 1980 for my book from every year challenge) but I found ALL OF THESE ON THE FOR SALE SHELF!! $4 well spent!

Today is the day! Any Iowa Littens that want to join us, we will be meeting at Starbucks at 1013 Locust in Des Moines at 6 pm. At 7:00, @EloisaJames has an event at the nearby Central Library. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Everyone went out of town and left me... so I took a trip to the used bookstore! My daughter says I should not go without supervision. Good news they are used so they cost from $0.15 - $1.60 #bookhaul #mckaysusedbooks

I've enjoyed every Eloisa James book I've read, perhaps it's her day job as a Shakespeare professor that influences her writing. I enjoy the humor, strong women, and of course the love scenes. 😉 My American Duchess features one of my most favorite lead characters yet, Merry. She tends to rattle off random facts when she's nervous, which I completely relate to, and she is unabashedly passionate. Loved this book!

Although I can't say I #lovetolisten, I discovered (thanks to Hoopla), that under the right circumstances I can listen. The tagged book isn't the one I listened too but i am considering it for my next one!

Listening to an interview with @EloisaJames on Audible Channels. Deliciously interesting thoughts on historical romance!

I liked Trent and Merry and learning about pineapples in Regency England. Who knew you could rent fruit? A satisfying read for a rainy day.

I have ~stuff! Thanks @BookThingo ! #romantsy

I'm so thrilled that My American Duchess made it on Bookpage's top 10 in 2016 for romance. Yippee!!! I'm in fantastic company--and a couple I'd missed, so a new tbr pile! Www.bit.ly/2jbLqY4 #romantsy

This why I love y'all soooooo much!😍😘❤📚

A reader just told me my last book, My American Duchess, is on sale for $1.99 in the Kindle version. This book got a great review from The New York Tines, btw--very rare for romance! #romantsy. #sale. Booksale

Amazon has many Litten loved titles on sale today including this gem that I had borrowed from the library but snapped up this morning for a winter reread.

Unto to the next one! #tbrpile

This is for @EloisaJames ! This is the dining room table at No. 1 Royal Crescent in Bath. The docent was telling us about how people would rent pineapples! I told her that I knew that, because of this book. Their gift shop had these adorable pineapple earrings, which I had to get! I love the cool thing things you learn in books! #romantsy

y'all. I'm dead.

or maybe saying I'm swooning would be more appropriate?

Part one of my #bookbinge this week to comfort myself. Some are parts of series I already own, some are just awesome or cheap copies I couldn't pass up (8 of these were $1), and a few are ones I've been looking for for awhile.

Spotted in National Bookstore Greenhills (Philippines). @EloisaJames in the romance section 💕 #romantsy

@EloisaJames , I thought you'd get a kick out of knowing that your books are available in physical bookstores in Singapore.😀 #romantsy #Kinokuniya

When your Regency novel meets He's Just Not That Into You. #romantsy

If you're in Vegas, come along to the Book Festival tomorrow --let's talk books! I'm doing a panel and a signing too. Love to see Littsyers!!

"I'm a scholar...think America likes to read and likes to learn" -Eloisa James, speaking at a panel on the importance doing research in her novels (she has so many degrees!). She also shared a fun research tidbit from her next novel - did you know that the British used to import baby skunks, descent them, and market them as "grow your own sable"? You'd care for them until they were your perfect scarf length...? #morristownfestivalofbooks

She was everything he'd ever wanted in a woman, and nothing he'd ever thought to find in a lady.

American heiress Merry is forced to husband hunt in London because she has broken 2previous engagements. She has no love for Shakespeare whom everyone quotes at the drop of a hat. No sooner than she becomes engaged again than she meets Duke Right. But she will not allow herself to break another engagement. Throw in some delightful dogs and a culinary faux pax involving a priceless pineapple and you have a delightful read #keeper #romantsy #keeper

I liked this ok, but thought it moved a bit slow in places.
