Welcome to Litsy!

This one wasn‘t so much a Christmas book (though they do celebrate Christmas), Annie walks in on her husband having sex with another woman. She decides to leave him and finds this seaside town to be a guardian and finds friends and a new passion. I really liked this one.

#snowedin #bookspin #hollyjollyreaders #wintergames Will do other tags later!

Another #SnowedIn finish. This is a light pick. There were parts that I enjoyed and a few that annoyed me and it was a bit too long for my taste. Annie is finally fed up with her cheating spouse and finds a place to reset.

#WinterGames 26 pts Also good choice for word search points.

Here‘s my #bookspin and #doublespin reads for December. Looking forward to these both!

This was the perfect December read, light and romantic. It has all the usual things in it; city girl ( successful chef) needs change, temporary lodgings elsewhere ( by the sea), immediately fits into new locale, a book club, a pop up café, an eligible Scottish bachelor, ex pleads case and miscommunications galore.

I was going to do things but ……

I bought this last year to read before Christmas and ran out of time and put it away for this year (and totally forgot about it as one does). Thank goodness I stuck to my list of finishing the tree, getting the holiday Lego out and doing the last bit of decorating because I found it! Now I have something to read once I decide on what cookies to bake.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m ready for an extended vacation in Willow Bay, where I can grab a coffee and treat from Saltwater Nook, join their feisty book club, and participate in all the fun holiday festivities! This is a rom-com that‘s actually funny, overflowing with coziness and charm. It was a lovely listen for the fall/winter season! 🎧

This isn't the typical story I'm used to seeing behind this type of cover. We have a heroine no longer in the first flush of youth and who is used to working hard and getting stuff done without being whiney. I found her refreshing. I loved her new book club friends and the way she threw herself into her now town. I also liked John a lot but appreciated that the romance was only one element of the story rather than the whole show.

This was a very sweet book, that I would call more women‘s fiction than romance, though it has a sweet slow burn love story. I love a good 40something woman finding herself story. A delightful small town story with a charming cast of characters. It is a little slow at times but still charming. 4⭐️

3.5 ⭐️This 📖 is about having the courage to let go of what no longer serves us & taking out a new lease (📚 specific pun) on life. Of the rom-com genre, it delights w/ its atmospheric plot & witty dialogue. Read it if you‘re looking for a cozy read w/ a side of laughter. I was delighted that the 📚 features hints of feminism: a sex-positive woman‘s book club & a differently abled 🏳️‍🌈 background character. 📄: 429 🛑: hint of emotional abuse

My kind of cabin! It was a successful Friendsgiving. I did not get much reading done because I enjoyed my time socializing with friends.

Took today off to head to the Upper Michigan woods for a Friendsgiving weekend at a cabin. Stopped at a local farm-to-table restaurant on the way for a blood orange mimosa & some reading. Happy weekend!
