Political intrigue could leave his heart the last one standing...alone. Lively St. Lemeston, Book 1 Nick Dymond enjoyed the rough-and-tumble military life until a bullet to the leg sent him home to his emotionally distant, politically obsessed family. For months, hes lived alone with his depression, blockaded in his lodgings. But with his younger brother desperate to win the local election, Nick has a new set of marching orders: dust off the legendary family charm and maneuver the beautiful Phoebe Sparks into a politically advantageous marriage. One marriage was enough for Phoebe. Under her towns by-laws, though, she owns a vote that only a husband can cast. Much as she would love to simply ignore the unappetizing matrimonial candidate pushed at her by the handsome earls son, she cant. Her teenage sister is pregnant, and Phoebes last-ditch defense against her sisters ruin is her voteand her hand. Nick and Phoebe soon realize the only match their hearts will accept is the one society will not allow. But as election intrigue turns dark, theyll have to cast the cruelest vote of all: loyalty...or love. Warning: Contains elections, confections, and a number of erections.

Last #BookSpin list of the year! I don't think my tbr list has actually gotten any shorter over the course of the year, but at least it's changed. I've really enjoyed creating the randomizer and working with it, and I learned some things too.

Thank you so much for all your work organizing this, @TheAromaofBooks!

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Glad to have you along for another round!! 3y

My reading buddy woke up and demanded attention. I had to rub his belly while I read.

I‘m now at 1:31 for the Readathon, with a chapter and an epilogue left in SWEET DISORDER. The only thing I dislike about the Readathon is that it hammers home how slowly I read compared to a lot of other people. I seriously envy the 100+ pages per hour crowd. 50‘s about my upper limit with prose. #readathon #deweyoct

AvidReader25 Yay for #readathon day! 5y
twohectobooks I feel your pain as a fellow slow reader 5y
xicanti @Avidreader25 it‘s the most wonderful time of the year! 5y

xicanti @twohectobooks it HURTS to see people finish five or ten books when I get through three novellas and a few comics. Sigh. 5y
ImperfectCJ Same here about the slow reading. I tell myself every readathon that I shouldn't compare my totals to others', but so far I've not succeeded at doing it. 5y
xicanti @ImperfectCJ I quit recording my page count and that‘s helped a bit. 5y
DGRachel My reading speed really depends on the book. For readathons that I plan for, I try to pick mostly graphic novels because I speed through those, but prose? I‘m a 45-60 pages per hour person, at best. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y
Sace I'm a slow reader too. 5y
Sace I'm with @xicanti. I don't record pages or anything. It's about the commraderie for me. 5y
Lreads Fellow slow reader here! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I try to focus on what I‘m reading. I wouldn‘t want to read so fast that I miss the nuances of the story. ☺️ 5y
xicanti @DGRachel @Sace @QuietlyLaura slower readers unite! 5y

100 pages left in SWEET DISORDER! I read for forty minutes before I got up, but now I‘m too hungry to stay abed.

It feels kind of wrong to eat Reece‘s Puffs and drink a caramel latte while I read a book where the heroine dislikes sweet food, but I didn‘t want to spend the time cooking. #deweyoct #readathon

The Readathon is almost here, friends!

1. Manitoba

2. Probably A CHIP IN HIS SHOULDER. I love me some L.A. Witt

3. Mango chili lime Harvest Snaps.

4. I‘m obsessed with any sort of holiday light.

5. This is my 23rd Readathon and to be honest, I can‘t think of any way I‘ll shake things up. I‘m gonna read some novellas and comics and an audiobook, as per usual, with a brief break to attend the FOTL Book Sale.

Sace 23rd! I bow before thee! 5y
xicanti @Sace I don‘t wanna brag, but I haven‘t missed a single one since Fall 2008. 5y

I‘ve got a honey lager, a happy lamp, and an excellent historical romance. (I hasten to assure you the current cover is way better than this first edition.) I put Fleetwood Mac on the turntable, too. I‘m good. #fridaynightdoneright

It‘s important to assemble a good pool of snacks before any given #Readathon. I‘m especially excited to dig into my bag of mango chili lime Harvest Snaps tomorrow. They‘re the BEST. Ditto the mango wafers. But will I do kettle corn or top my popcorn with bacon cheddar goodness? It‘s anyone‘s guess.

I don‘t think I‘ll finish SWEET DISORDER tonight, so I expect it‘ll be the first book I dig into in the morning..

Rachel.Rencher I vote bacon cheddar 😋 5y
Sace Aaaargh! I went grocery shopping today and totally forgot snacks for tomorrow! 😭 5y
xicanti @Rachel.Rencher I‘m leaning that way because it‘s sooooooo good, but I just got the kettle corn seasoning today and I want to try it. Maybe I‘ll do most of the batch bacon cheddar and put some in a separate bowl to turn into kettle corn. 5y

xicanti @Sace nooooo! I hope you can find enough tasty things to eat just in your cupboards. 5y
Alora You just made me realize I need to make a trip to the store! Lol 😍 5y
xicanti @Alora get those snacks! 5y
Alora Do you make your popcorn in a pot on the stove as well 😍 popcorn is my weakness lol 5y
xicanti @Alora mine, too. I‘ve got an air popper and a whole stash of different flavourings to mix into my butter! 5y
Alora @xicanti I need to get an air popper!! 😍🍿 Enjoy! Have a wonderful night 5y

I try really, really hard not to borrow library ebooks unless I really, really want to read them, since I know they often have only a limited number of licenses for each copy and I don‘t want to be wasteful. Kobo keeps reccing SWEET DISORDER to me, though, and it was in the digital catalogue, and I borrowed it without considering my extremely full reading slate. Now it‘s due in 3 days.

Luckily, it‘s awesome so far.

Book 2 of #WinterStormReadathon complete! This is a slow burn period romance featuring early 19th century British politics, a plus-size widow and a crippled war hero. Though it breaks many romance conventions, it is still very entertaining. I definitely recommend! #romantsy

Had to take a break due to a recurring migraine, but a long nap, caffeine and dinner feeling better and back to the #WinterStormReadathon with my book leggings and fuzzy socks!

Reviewsbylola I hope your migraine goes away ASAP! 5y

Nessavamusic @Reviewsbylola it‘s getting there, this temperature/barometer drop caused it I think. @Crazeedi thanks, I‘m in love with them! 5y

Why did I wait so long to read anything by Rose Lerner?! I'm almost finished with the third book in her Lively St. Lemeston series. She writes about characters we normally don't get to see much in historical romance - including a fat heroine, Jewish hero, and a servant class couple. I cannot recommend this series enough! #17booklove #romanticlove #romantsy

Ack! This was super cute - and its on sale for Kindle right now. I knew this book was for me when I read this in the description: "Warning: Contains elections, confections, and a number of erections." It delivered on all three! ? #romantsy #historicalromance

Rose Lerner offers to send her newsletter subscribers a holiday short story featuring characters from her novels. Like, in the mail! With Hanukkah confetti! I chose the one about Phoebe and Nick from Sweet Disorder as I still need to read her other books. Romance authors are the best. 😍😍😍

I couldn't decide what to read next, so I finally settled on this anthology - it's like 5 choices in one! (It's not in the Litsy database so I used the title of the one Rose Lerner I've read, as it was thanks to her newsletter that I bought this.)

Best spoiler alert ever. And I'd much rather read about this in a historical romance than IRL. #romantsy #osrbc

4evamoore But the kindle formatting on this is killing me. It jumps from scene to scene at a paragraph line. Not even an extra spec to warn you that you are shifting perspectives and time and location. 😳 7y
EloisaJames I love that blurb! 7y
4evamoore Update: kindle formatting issue. Author and pub are on it! 7y
