Welcome to Litsy!

Having a difficult time staying interested. I may need to #DNF and move on if I‘m not finished by tomorrow night. Too many other books to get to.

The second of Cindy Anstey's books set in the Regency period, these books are supposed to be similar in style to Austen, or at least that's how they're marketed. This one was just okay. I can see shades of Sense & Sensibility in there but these books are definitely not retellings. They are nice and light though and so would be good palette cleansers or beach reads. I did enjoy Love, Lies, and Spies better but I'll go on to read the next book.

This was delightful!

I just got the Swoon Reads app. Basically you can read and review unpublished manuscripts from new, upcoming YA and New Adult authors. The best ones are then published! Duels and Deception is one of these. Right now I'm reading Unfinished: A Victorian Romance by Samantha Hastings and it seems to be just my style! (´ヮ`) #swoonreads #ebook #ya

2/3 of the way through since this afternoon because I have literally no chill. Also I stayed up waaaayy too late again... This time I was scrolling through Litsy. (･ω

I just received this amazing box from Swoon Reads. It was perfectly timed, full of goodies, and completely unexpected. I had completely forgotten about the contest at the end of NaNoWriMo. #bookmail

This whole state of affairs was nothing short of a disaster. Frowning, Lydia plopped—very unladylike—onto the firm morning room settee.
Disaster. Her father would not appreciate the word‘s use—too much emotion, smacked of an indecent amount of sensibility.

Using early Christmas money for a Book Outlet spree. Have you read any of these? Did I make a good choice? 😁

This is a cute, enjoyable, entertaining, slightly silly (in a good way) YAish Regency. Just what the doctor ordered!

Really loved the Sherlock Holmes feel of this book. I'm a sucker for Sherlock! Finished this book in a day it was so good! If you haven't read it yet you totally should!

Okay, that was super fun! Almost as good as Lives, Lies and Spies, which I gave 5 stars to! If you live Regency romance, read Anstey! Plus she writes them with a side of intrigue as well.

ARC from NetGalley.

I started reading the first few pages of the ARC and suddenly I'm over halfway done. This is such fun!

Thanks to #netgalley for this ARC! In this historical YA novel, Lydia Whitfield will soon turn 18. Her father already arranged a marriage with the guy next door, though Lydia can't stop thinking about her lawyer's clerk, Robert Newton. The writing is a little cutesy, but done in a tongue in cheek way. However, I kept wanting to read more...I got a little sucked into the developing romance. Very light read, if you are looking for some distraction.

#Vladimir and #Zeke really enjoy when I take time off of work. Kitty time, and some reading, before I get on with my day #catsoflitsy

As soon as I post, #Vladimir jumps up too. And yes, he hates his picture taken (his knitted brow really gives that away). But, glad he could join #Zeke as I read. #catsoflitsy

The start of baseball season means a few days of vacation this week. I'm not sure who's happier that I actually took a day off...me or #Zeke. #catsoflitsy
