Welcome to Litsy!

There was a lot of hype around this book so I checked it out. It was a cute romance set in a small town. I didn‘t think it was anything super special but it kept me engaged enough to read it in a day or so. It was definitely spicier than I thought it was going to be. I might check out more in the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Out 31/7/25

😍😍😍😍📚📖

I got the second book in this series for Chriztmas, so of course I had to get the first one before I could read the second. I'd been avoiding it because I am not a fan of pumpkin spice anything. But this was cute. Non-consequential, but cute. Nice easy read to start the year. #03-2025

She was figuring out her style for the series in this first one but it worked really well. A little trope-y but pas de trop.

Side note: my friend made me four of these mugs with different designs on them. They‘re all the perfect size! One of them can hold half a pot of tea and that‘s ✨perfect✨

This was a cute enough romance. I feel like I didn‘t get to know the characters well enough, especially the FMC Jeanie, to really but into their supposed back stories and root for them, though. I did like the town as the third main character, which was clever, and the supporting cast was strong and engaging. Good enough that I‘ll read the next one, anyway.

This one is definitely a romance and not a cozy mystery like i initially thought. I really enjoyed the story though and it was a perfect light read for fall. I can‘t wait to start the next one since its about Hazel and Noah!

⭐️⭐️⭐️3/5

We‘ve been up north in MI with no cell service since Thursday night so these are all coming at ya! This was such a fun read. Low to no drama, I would term it a cozy romance. Totally get the hype.

GEEZ! At LAST!!
After 199 pages we finally get a little bit of action. I hate when slowburns take SO long. C‘mon! It was a good scene. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Clean & sweet. Not too crazy or overboard. Just nice. I would rate the smut in this book so far as a 🌶️🌶️.

Does it gets better than this? Or was that bit the best part?

I returned all my library books whether they were due or not so i could start reading the books i have at home! Ive been dying to start this one so now i can!

It was OK, but nothing special

Most basic. Most fun. Moving on to #2…one last stop before I start Christmas🧡☕️🍂

Ok.. I shockingly flew through this book! No character development, but fun characters. It was funny and easy to read. I‘ll read the rest of them! 😙

I‘m jumping on this bandwagon.. I hope it‘s enjoyable 🤞🏻 😝😆 !

Hello #skeletoncrew! Sorry I‘ve been MIA on Litsy this month! My mom had a pretty major health scare (she‘s fine!) which sucked up all my energy so I haven‘t been posting. But I‘ve been reading which has been the only thing keeping me from completely losing it honestly lol.

Cute, cozy and very easy to fly through. I also thought it was really good for this time of year

This was so a cover buy. It screams autumn 🍂

I had no idea that this was the first in the Dream Harbor series. Jeanie has moved from the city to get a new start, and has taken over her aunt‘s cafe. Weird things start to happen and Logan volunteers to help her find out what it is.

The author biography compares Dream Harbor to Stars Hollow, and I see that. Those Stars Hollow town meetings are legendary and I‘m sure these will be too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
A little pumpkin spice to get me in the thanksgiving mood! Now moving on to book 2 in the series🧡

I don‘t read many romance books but I really enjoyed this one. Jeanie, the new owner of the Pumpkin Spice Cafe, has to adjust to the small town of Dream Harbor. She befriends Logan, a sexy farmer, who has abandonment issues because his last girlfriend publicly dumped him because she didn‘t want to live the small town life. They start falling for each other but are afraid of screwing it up. Cute, cozy, funny & sexy. 4⭐️

For prompt 8 of the #hauntedshelf photo challenge I picked this gorgeous looking romance novel! I haven‘t read it but I have a copy at home because I bought it as a gift for a friend….. but now I‘m super desperate to read it and I might have to buy one for me. Why does this always happen??

4✨This was such a cute intro into Dream Harbor. I‘m not a fan of instant love, but I did love the atmosphere and character development. Jeanie needs a change of scenery when her high stress job causes her previous boss to have a heart attack, and cause her to rethink her career. At first she is a basket case, but then she meets Logan the farmer. Super cute, a bit spicy, and a series I‘m definitely going to continue. #SeriesLove #HauntedShelves

3.5 out 5 🌟

After a long week of kids with the flu, and still having to work it‘s a root beer float dinner kinda night. Plus a really good book. 🥰

I liked the characters and look forward to book two in the series. A typical HEA, cozy seasonal read. Definitely the light read I needed while waiting during my daughter‘s surgery. Also enjoyed a PSL while reading. 🎃

I just started this one! Couldn‘t resist the cover and Autumn 🍂 vibes. 🥹🧡🍁 Anyone else is reading it?

Soooo excited to be listening to this playlist while I do some chores. I love when books come with playlists like this one! It definitely takes the boring out of adulting. 🍂🍁🎶🎵🎃

What‘s your favorite playlist when adulting or while reading, if any?
What are you reading?

Day one! 😃🙌 #pumpkin #wickedwhispers

2️⃣4️⃣ Drinking a pumpkin spice latte and reading this on my kindle 🍁 🎃 As a Gilmore Girls fan I‘m sad to say that I don‘t know what all the fuss was about with this book. I didn‘t really buy the chemistry between these 2 and nothing really happened, but a light and inoffensive read all the same. I read that book 2 is better, so I gave it a go and agree it far exceeds this one.

#BookReport

I have finished Dark Fire #ShardlakeBR, and I‘m almost finished with Trans Like Me #SheSaid

I finished You Are Here and read The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, I even managed to squeeze in another short read Two Stories #VirginiaBloomsberries

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

After reading the Nancy Drew books with #NancyDrewBR, I have a feeling that would not be the title. Not spoilery enough 🤣

This autumnal book has some classic tropes: grumpy vs. sunshine, small town, and a HEA with plenty of spice. The main characters are adorable, the setting is cozy, and the townspeople are a lot of fun. If you love pumpkin spice lattes, fall vibes, and hot book boyfriends, you cannot go wrong by picking this book up. It is the first in a series, and I look forward to starting the next one, The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore, featuring Hazel and Noah.

#WhereAreYouMonday @Cupcake12

Currently in Dream Harbor, a small town in New England, about an hour from Boston (not sure exactly which direction).

But I might go back to Nantucket later, and start another #BuddyRead with @thegirlwiththelibrarybag. (The Hanged Man)

Or go to a fantasy country similar to Regency England. (Sword Crossed - ARC)
