I wanted to read these for March #ReadWithMrBook #authoronLitsy but I didn't read them. I'll read them in April. Already started with the tagged one.

I finished this audiobook tonight. I have mixed feelings. I'm not sure if it is with the storyline, or the narration. Either way, I loved the heroine in this one! 😍
pickA little bit problematic at times, but still thoroughly enjoyable. I loved the depth of the characters and their interactions. Some of the plot was a bit too much for me, but I still read it cover to cover! Eloisa James is always a delight.
Spending my evening sippin‘ on tea and indulging in my favourite guilty pleasure author 😉☕️❤️ In my cup: quangzhou milk oolong
Today‘s prompt for #150PnPCoverParty is #regency 😃
My most recent Kindle acquisition is Potent Pleasures, because when I feel like some historical romance, @EloisaJames is my go-to... and this one is set in the regency period. ❤️
pickI wasn't familiar with @EloisaJames work before starting this book even though I've seen many of her books reviewed on Litsy. Numerous characters are mentioned in this story - sisters, brothers, friends, and so on - so many that I wondered if I picked up a book that was in the middle of a series. I later learned this is the first of a trilogy. I enjoyed the story, liked most of the characters and will definitely read more of this author's work.
Today's author spotlight: @EloisaJames , the warmest author I've met! Now, this is awesome. By day, she's Fordham professor Dr. Mary Bly, lecturing on William Shakespeare; by night, she's NYT-bestselling romance author Eloisa James. She had an alter ego through 2005!!! AND she'd disguise herself with the glasses-contacts switch-up! She pulled a Superman! Then a Tony Stark coming-out with the profs. My hero!👌🏻👌🏻 #AuthorPotpourri #TheMoreYouKnow

Anyone going to #NYC #bookcon on Saturday or Sunday? Trying to decide if I want to go. #litsy #romantsy #nerdfest
"Floppy poppy." ? I talked about this book much more than I normally do with my guilty pleasure romances because I wanted to share this phrase. (I also love the conversations where those involved are striving to be proper but determined to be honest.)
pickYes, it's a historical romance and has a happy ending. Guilty pleasure and thoroughly enjoyable. Told from a different perspective than I'm used to, and with more detail - detail about how these people lived, not just their clothes and hair. So many characters introduced and even those we met only once had a backstory, which kept the story richly alive but could be overwhelming. Picked up based on recommendations for this author; I'd concur.
A couple of bookstore hauls this week. And bonus, the bottom three were only $3 apiece!
There just isn't enough time to read everything I want to!
(Also, it's going to be between 50 and 60 degrees here in Wisconsin for the next week. What the...?!? It's nice to have nice weather, but this just feels wrong and means allergies and mold will be waaay out of control for the rest of the year.👎🏼 I'm having enough migraines already, don't need help!)

I think this quote explains how I felt about the hero. I had to knock a star off because of it. The story was well done and wonderfully written but the hero was just a huge jerk. I felt the heroine was too forgiving too quickly. The real hero was Charlotte's best friend. This was the author's first book and other than the hero was enjoyable.
Hello nightshift book order (and your 5 friends not visible in this picture). I got so depressed after watching the presidential debate on Wednesday I went on a book buying spree. Oops. Still an @EloisaJames book is never a bad idea... #romantsy
When adding a well established author to my to be read list for some reason I like to start with their first novel. I think I'll give it a try after my current book I'm going to need something a little fun.

pickA soap-operatic little romance. It's not my favorite Eloisa James book, but a fascinating study in how authors change and grow over time. One thing I really loved was the way minor minor characters got real arc--Mall and Chloe were two of my faves. One thing I really didn't like was the fits of rage the hero had, both of which were emotionally abusive and so extreme as to make the HEA a little unbelievable.
bailedI used to hate giving up on a book, thinking that to finish it was at least that I owed to the author who spent so long writing it, but not anymore. I've read a few Eloisa James and though they were pretty good. As the advert goes 'does what it says on the tin'. This one, for me, did not. Onwards.
