Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this historical romance novel. I don‘t always love when they‘re wearing wigs and hair paint and stuff like that but this one wasn‘t too bad.

I‘m really interested in what the other character stories are.

I liked the 2 main characters and the story itself. I‘m glad it didn‘t really have any whacky twists. It was just a fun read.

This looks like a delightful book; looking forward to delving into this series at some point.

Finished the tagged book and loved it! I can't wait to continue the series since each book ends on a cliffhanger, but I also need to read my #bookspin and #doublespin. I don't know what to read next 😩

I've been looking forward to this series since it came out. I'm hoping it's good! Settling in for a rainy Saturday.

I had thought that my #romance stack would be tiny as most of my titles are ebooks but as I started gathering books I could have made a stack three times as large at least. I really only started reading romance relatively recently but it has quickly become one of my most read genres. After a rough day, for me, curling up a romance is the best stress relief. #24in48

This was fun. I know I can count on Eloisa James for smart, funny romance novels.

“We managed to find the tea #groves,” Lord Alaric interjected. “Pekoe is a form of Bohea tea, which is mixed with small white flowers until their perfume infuses the leaves. In comparison to our scent at the time,” he added with a rueful twist of his lips, “the tea was delightful.”

“Alaric bellowed his laughter and headed back to shore. When the #water was waist-high, he realized that his shirt clung to every ridge of the muscles that encircled his body.” #SpringIntoReading

Lord Alaric Wilde is a famous adventurer, who likes to explore and write about the #WildWorld.

It's Wednesday, I know. I miss #HumpDayPost and @MinDea (she's busy with her new job).

Is it wrong that my favourite character was the mad Puritan villain? Prudence's deranged evangelical speeches were hilarious and brought much needed drama to this Regency #romance of a woman falling quickly for a man that she at first claims she would never marry. I'm realizing that certain relationship and gender dynamics do not work for me--in this case alpha men and virginal women. I did like the kind of tongue in cheek melodrama here though!

Finished this one Valentine‘s Day evening 😊 this is a nice, feel good romance which is perfect for me right now as I‘m feeling a bit stressed! The ending was a little predictable but I didn‘t mind, it was enjoyable to read and I will hopefully be starting the next one soon! 😍

I'm in the mood to read a #romance and I'm also trying to read the books I already own. Here are the #romantsy novels already on my shelf. Which one should I read next?

Thank you @CarolynM for your suggestions of romance novels on my last post! The one that caught my eye was Too Wilde to Wed so I decided to start at the beginning of that series by @EloisaJames 😃 I‘m about 20% of the way through so far and loving it! Thank you again @CarolynM ❤️

These #WildCreatures/#WildeCreatures were the first I could think of.

The Wilde men love strong and independent woman. The Wilde women/girls are allowed to grow into strong women. And there's Lady Knowe who's the kind of aunt everybody wishes to have.

Willa presents a serene front for the world and keeps her true self for her closest friends. Alaric is returning after many years abroad to find out that he is a celebrity and cannot escape his admirers. Willa fascinates Alaric and he wants to get to know the real woman. Such a lovely romance with some funny stops along the way. #romantsy

Yesterday, I decided to take on something light and fun while I thought I was going to be the first person in the history of mankind to die of the common cold! This is a Regency Romance that accommodates modern sensibilities with an eccentric noble (third son,) sets up at least two sequels, and is nicely researched and complemented with appropriate melodrama. Giving it a Pick if only bc she introduces a character, Katie Wilde 😄

#romantsy

Started this at the pool earlier today and now continuing with an ice cream treat. Not a bad way to spend a summer day 📚🏖️🍨

I don‘t read a lot of romance but I like Eloisa James‘ books because they have wit and charm and because the heroines usually have an interest or passion that has nothing to do with romance. I liked the Wilde family and Alaric‘s scenes with North and Willa‘s with Lavinia but was less interested in Alaric and Willa than I was in North and also Lavinia and Parth. Not my favorite James book but a fun, light-hearted summer read.

Returned these to the library using the drive-thru book drop for the first time today! I finished all of these books since the beginning of the month, so July is off to a great start! All three were also definitely picks for me :)

“Piracy wasn‘t the problem—the problem was the uncanny way young Alaric had depicted his small-minded Etonian instructors in the guise of drunken sailors. These days he avoided portraying self-righteous Englishmen, but the impulse to observe had never left him. He watched and summarized, whether he was in China or an African #jungle.“
Book 3 comes out 7/31 if you have not started this series yet #ItsTimeToGetYourReadOn #QuotsyJuly18 #SummerReading

Settling in for the day off tomorrow with this fun romp of a book. Very much enjoying so far! #romantsy

Can‘t wait to delve into this world by the talented @EloisaJames !!! ❤️

SO so so good!! I mean, what more can you say! Alaric is my new love and Willa is everything I want to be; plus Willa and Lavinia‘s friendship gives me life!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

*Swoons*

“Alaric was experiencing that disagreeable emotion again. It was an emotion that brought an unpleasant physical response with it, like seasickness. Or the consequence of too much brandy. Perhaps the sudden onset of a fever. He sat back, thinking it over, while the young fool from Oxford painstakingly tried to explain to Willa the links between a mythological girl named Penelope and the figure of a #duck drawn in pea soup.”
#quotstyJune18

No surprise that I enjoyed this book as I‘ve never met an @EloisaJames book that I didn‘t. Alaric is swoon worthy from his first appearance, and to watch as he sweetly and irrevocably falls for Willa (his Evie) is a real pleasure. While she fights the attraction, he surrenders to it which is a refreshing turnabout from most historical romances. Loved her pet Sweetpea‘s name as it reminded me of my nickname for my own children. 😊 4/5⭐️ 🔽

Rereading this gem and came across one of my favorite passages.. not sure why, but it just makes me chuckle; “Lavinia said helpfully..” ☺️☺️☺️

Loved it! Steamy but now lewd. Main characters I thoroughly enjoyed. Looking forward to book 2 which I've already purchased. Wish there was a choice higher than Pick!

I also love how involved @EloisaJames is on Litsy. It feels as if she truly appreciates those who read her books.

Total #blameitonlitsy purchase. Travelling for work and there are few things better than a hotel room to myself and a good book. #romantsy is just the ticket.

Next up, I‘m FINALLY getting to this series...and so looking forward to it! @EloisaJames knows her historical romance. 😍
❤️💙💜❤️💙💜

I loved this book. Alaric and Willa were absolutely delightful. Their courtship was swoon-worthy and full of witty banter, and of course, Sweetpea made me want a pet skunk. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

1) Went to Frankfurt at the weekend. The Frankfurt that's famous for its banks and sausages. The picture shows Germany's oldest town hall, left, and one of Frankfurt's churches, right.
2) nope
3) tagged, Wilde in Love
4) both!
5) Daughter of the Siren Queen (and I haven't read the first book yet)

#HumpDayPost @MinDea

I loved the premise & I liked Alaric & Willa but the execution fell flat for me. All the plot points were heavily foreshadowed & i was a bit bored. 🧡🧡🧡#romantsy

#BookHaul

Went to a used book sale and found these lovelies! 📚

The left pile for younger sister, the middle for me, and the right pile for my Mom!

Speaking of cliffhangers! I never reviewed this one! My first Eloisa James remains my favorite but this is a close second. I have a weird fascination with bog bodies and peat marshes and was genuinely pleased to find them crop up in a romance novel! You never know what esoterica might pop up!

Very sweet. An unwitting celebrity and a privacy-seeking Lady fall in love at a house party in the 1770s-era English countryside. Dialogue is outstanding.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Really enjoyed this! Took me a while to read..between study, full time work and a family but I finally got there 😊 the stars say it all #osrbc #romansty

Husband is having back surgery so I am prepared for some serious reading. Not shown: headphones for audiobooks!

I know being overtly political on social media is kind of a buzzkill so please accept this as my offering of penance. Jelly bomb, romance novel, cutest cup of tea...I'm still behind on reviews but I'll give your feeds a break. 😂 Sidenote, this is the first romance novel I have purchased. I'm so #romancy now!

Looks like I read 18 books in January 2018.

Tagged is the best book of January. (and now I'm glad I didn't finish the third Veronica Speedwell last night)

Do I have a #TBR for February? Kind of. There's the #OokBOokClub and #LMPBC still on and I'll be browsing my shelves for #MountTBR.

Hi Litsy Peeps!
I miss you! I will see you all in about a week or two when the year closes out and I can breathe!!

Had pre ordered this and only now have the chance to read on my long awaited holiday. First chapter down and already has lol moments 😂
#osrbc #romansty

This was a fun read. And I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. #romantsy

I loved this! My favourite book by @EloisaJames so far.

Not only did I love the story of Alaric and Willa, but there are so many secondary characters that I am looking forward to see again in the next novels.

Just a wonderful story! No far fetched plot twists or strange out of the blue misunderstandings. A well-written story to enjoy

5/5 stars
