Welcome to Litsy!

#PromptMaze book with a “cold“ world in the title. A fun Regency style romance set in a world where trolls collect tolls, elves and humans have an uneasy alliance, and women rule but are discouraged from using magic. (I found the gender rules/roles rather confusing.) Add in a nice pining hero and a wonderful family for the main character and you have a charming story.

Day 1 of #20in4 and I've got barely 2:15 hrs read, but also finished 2 books and am almost a third into this (so far very enjoyable!) one. I didn't have much left in either book I finished, still satisfying.

I'd love to hit 20 hours but I've also got an assignment to work on this weekend for a course I'm taking, so I doubt I will. Hopefully I'll finish 2 more books though, trying to clean up some of my on the go ones before the end of the month.

Outside my home office right now. 12 inches already and it‘s still coming down. Can‘t wait for school to end so I can curl up in front of the fire with my book. #cozydays #snowdays

I‘ve just started this one based on a LibraryThing book bullet; I‘m one chapter in. It‘s set in a parallel world where magic exists in something like Regency times. The protagonist is journeying to a country house in a horse carriage in winter. It‘s mainly scene setting so far but there‘s a circumstance the narrator assumes we know but the author hasn‘t told us yet. Frustrating 🙂

Hi Litsy family, I started experiencing some symptoms so went to the testing center. It took over two hours to get through the line. Thankfully I had my Kindle. I finished the tagged book and started a second. Turns out I also had a fever (never felt feverish!) so between that and the shortness of breath, I got swabbed and will know the results within 72 hrs. Stay safe out there.

More snow this morning ❄️❄️❄️

Here are my #purpleandpink ebook covers

This was over quicker than I expected. Ach y fi, despite how short the book is, it quickly set me to wanting a certain outcome -- which I mostly got, but not quite.

A quick read; looking forward to the second volume. #WyrdandWonder #TBRBingo

Day 29: Most Anticipated Release of 2019
The cover was just revealed today in a happy coincidence! Isn‘t it beautiful? I tagged the first book in the series because this one isn‘t on Litsy yet. If you‘re intrigued by Regency England plus magic and Faeries, give this series a go.

It snowed, then iced and now it's snowing some more.

This review is for “Spellswept,” Book 0.5 of “The Harwood Chronicles,” prequel to “Snowspelled.”

I‘ve been home sick all day & between my swimmy head & my inability to breathe properly, I‘ve felt a little like I‘m drowning. So, it was fitting that I read about an underwater ball.

Burgis‘ story was like a little, magical bubble of fresh air! The taboo romance, gender swaps, & fantasy element all had me swooning in a very gentlemanly fashion. 😉

I almost NEVER read ebooks... but when Stephanie Burgis puts out an eARC, I make an exception. 💖

Just snagged a copy of this baby. Her “Kat, Incorrigible” middle-grade series (aka “A Most Improper Magick”) is definitely included on my list of favorite witchy books; it‘s earned her my devoted readership for all-time.

I really enjoyed this alternate Regency Britain where men wield all the magic and ladies run the country! The heroine is a magic-user who refuses to follow gendered rules. I especially liked the rough and ready hero, who never gave up on the heroine, even when she gave up on herself. #paranormalromance. #historicalromance

This was such a delight to read! I've been in a reading slump, and it turns out, this was just what I needed 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

I'm always attracted to Regency fantasy, but very rarely does it live up to my hopes. This is one of those rare exceptions - a wholly enjoyable novella that creates an interesting world and a twist on a feminist struggle. The magic isn't well defined, but the politics are. Interestingly, politics are the realm of women, magic the realm of the gentlemen (and considered inferior to politics for a woman). Yet our heroine is a magician.
4⭐s

Reading in bed till hunger drives me out...and really enjoying one of my #secretsantagoespostal books!

THANK YOU, Stephanie!!!!! #sniff @surlyspice

#bookandlunch! I got sent a review copy of this romantic fantasy with such a lovely book cover, I haven't had a chance to read it yet but the premise looks interesting. Lunch was this savory crepe that had seafood and cream filling.
