Welcome to Litsy!

Anyone else get wary of books with kids in them? I sure do. It‘s so hard to capture that crazy spontaneous mindset of a child but I should have known better than to doubt #annabethalbert! Her books are always so real & filled with amazing characters. I found it so hard to put this one down!! Loved the push/pull of the two MCs as they juggled unexpected parenthood and dealing with so many feelings...love, loss, regret. It was all there in spades.

I read a ridiculous amount last month thanks to a couple of readathons and a commitment to shorter books, and I'm pretty happy with the results. I read two 5-star books back to back (the other was THE STORIED LIFE OF A.J. FIKARY) and four 4.5-star books, and I had my queerest month in a long, long time.

I also read 18 books I've had for more than 7 months, and reduced La TBR by 29 books total counting stuff I abandoned. Yay!

You guyyyssssss I stayed up until the wee hours to finish this because it was TOO GOOD TO PUT DOWN my eyes hurt all day but I'll live it's all concerned with grief and cute kids and one hero is gray asexual and the other is all about respecting his limits and I LOVED THEM TOGETHER OMG and I haaaaad to see how they'd get past the MAJOR MAJOR fuck up moment and I cried a bit and y'all I loved it so much I can't even punctuate. 5 stars.

Y'all, I love this book so much that I might forgo my daily Wolverine so I can keep reading it. And I'm only 62 issues from parting ways with Wolvie (ie, finishing my 2-year X-Books project), so that's saying something.

My Monday lunch involved vegetarian nachos and a military romance.

My first acquisitions of July. I missed my shot at an ARC of SQUARED AWAY so I've been waiting for it to go on sale, but yesterday I remembered I had enough Harlequin Rewards Points for a free ebook. Now it's mine!

LONELY SHORE was on for $0.99 as part of Kobo's Canadian authors sale. It's the sequel to my current read and I plan to dive in later today.

I won this in a giveaway from author Layla Reyne. Not my favorite cover. Mark refuses to act on his attraction to Isaiah at his sister & Isaiah‘s cousin‘s wedding. 6 years later, Danielle & Cal have died in an accident & Mark & Isaiah are trying to figure out how to take care of the kids long term. Slow burn #romansty but the ending was a bit rushed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
