Welcome to Litsy!

2024 has been a weird reading year. I made my goal yesterday (150) but have also had the biggest reading slump of my life since finding out I'm pregnant. Tips and tricks??

I joined a lovely Book PR group and found the most incredible community.

I completed multiple series I've been working on forever.

I listened to Order of the Phoenix four times apparently?!?

My favorite read of the year was a tie: Cloud Cuckoo Land and A Little Too Familiar.

I have to clean this morning before company comes over to celebrate the holidays early… so why not listen to this western romance while I tidy?

Bought this one for the cover 😍🤷🏼‍♀️ but ended up really liking it! Onto the next in the series.

Work vibes

A sweet enough slow burn cowboy romance with lovely main characters. But it was just missing something, I found it slightly boring. I wouldn't rush to pick up a sequel.

1️⃣9️⃣ An entertaining easy read. I saw this on my kindle store and was drawn to the cover. I really wanna marry a cowboy now 😂

She's off -limits, but he's never been good at following the rules...
It's a very spicy read.
Plus, I absolutely love the cover of this book 📖

These contemporary western romances were cute enough, but the prose was far too simplistic (bordering on juvenile) to really enjoy the reading experience. The romance/plot felt a bit more developed in the 2nd book, but they are both so short that any strong character development was impossible. I do love the pulpy western-style covers (definitely what convinced me to try), and I could see them being adapted into Hallmark/Netflix-style Rom-Coms.

I‘m not sure why I picked this one up. It wasn‘t on my TBR.. I must have just come across it scrolling on Libby.

This is a cowboy/western romance. It‘s set on a ranch in Wyoming. Emmy is a professional horse rider and has a riding scare so she comes back home. Luke is her brother‘s best friend and she‘s looking at him a bit differently now. She has ADHD and it talks about her triggers and things like that.

I love a slow-burn romance but it's been a while since I've read one that I enjoyed from opening line to the last one.
Her Emmy and Brooks had me hooked. Sage has a great way of writing that really showed through the more I read, even as I tried hard to pace myself, but this one was too good and it gave me what I needed.

I can't wait for my library hold for the next one.

3.75/5 ⭐️ My first western romance was a sweet and steamy one. One thing that really bothered me was the male MC calling the female MC "sugar" a million times ?

I've been playing around with some picture editing apps and made this! #LitsyCrafters

Cute, sweet western romance. ADHD rep, brother‘s best friend, delightfully tropey and a great escape. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

What a FANTASTIC small town romance, featuring a successful cowgirl going through a rough patch and struggling to (literally) get back in the saddle, and a hunky cowboy (plus older brother's best friend) who suddenly starts to see her in a whole new light when she takes a break from the rodeo circuit and comes home to Wyoming. Don't let the cover fool you - there's plenty of delectable steam and dirty talk 🤭. Only negative is that it's a debut 😭
