Welcome to Litsy!

I wasn‘t really wowed by this book — I found it predictable and not particularly original. The characters seemed to have more going on than the reader knew about, which was too bad, since they could have used more dimension. It was a quick read, though, with nothing particularly objectionable about it. Just left me sort of meh.

CUMULATIVE SCORE: 1,552

Getting ready to start Buddy #2. Thank you for this favorite time of year. You Littens make it.

I really enjoyed this one but thought some of the MC‘s actions were unexplained and unresolved. But I guess they didn‘t really need to be. This had more romance than I was expecting. I loved going back in history and learning more about Margaret and her story too.

For the most part, I usually enjoy all of the authors books. I also loved the callback to Pale Harbor, ME from another of her books.

⭐️⭐️ — The atmosphere was great in this book, but it couldn‘t save it from the annoying characters, the EXTREMELY slow start, the clunky dialogue, and the sheer amount of loose ends not tied up in the very rushed finale.

This book ended my 5 star Witchethon. I liked it. It was ok. It could have been alot more though, it had good bones. It was missing something.

I plan to read at least four books for the#JubilantJuly Readathon.
Thank you, @Andrew65 for hosting.

I did really enjoy the beginning of the book but found the ending rushed.. There were also a few unfinished story lines. All in all I did enjoy it for the most part 😁

This was my last book for this round of #lmpbc so @ShelleyBooksie expect the book back soon 🥳📖 @DinoMom @Tianarose

Forgot to snap a pic! But this is on its way to you @michellelav #lmpbc

Overall a pick for me as I was really interested in Augusta‘s job in collections at a historical house where she starts to feel a bit more connected to Harlowe House than she bargained for and I was also interested in her investigating the family, especially Margaret the supposed town witch, that had once lived there. I was disturbed that Augusta seems to have an eating disorder which I couldn‘t tell if she was normalizing or didn‘t realize she

Another pairing for #aestheticallymatched

Slowly getting through the list!

I haven't been in much of a reading mood this month but we decided to double up this year and instead of a simple Easter dinner, we had my daughter's favourite meal of homemade Chinese and cherry cheesecake to celebrate her birthday tomorrow! Lots of cooking and baking meant I got lots of #audiobook time in. I'm really feeling this vibe so I'm hoping to finish later tonight.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate and Happy Sunday to those that don't

This is the third time my Libby hold has come through for this, both times I held it, as I was in the middle of other reads. I'm still reading Troy by Stephen Fry, but going to start this. Third time's the charm 🤞

Finished my #lmpbc pick for the newest round. Cannot wait to hear everyone's thoughts. I wanted to confirm - is @DinoMom shipping to @Tianarose and Tiana shipping to @michellelav , Michelle shipping to me and I'm giving to @DinoMom ?

I‘ve enjoyed 2 books by Fox, and was excited for this book… but wow. This was not good.

Lots of pretty words, but really a hot mess of stereotypical characters, with major issues (eating disorder, abuse, mental health) randomly sprinkled in for effect and then never dealt with again. The bones of a good story were here, but it wasn‘t fleshed out, I couldn‘t stand any characters, and the whole witch element was badly done. Eyerolls galore.

@michellelav , @Tianarose , @DinoMom - my pics for lmpbc. Lemme know if any catch your eye. I will link.
