Welcome to Litsy!

I typically don't enjoy romances as much as I did this one. It was just so much fun. It was funny and held my attention. I really did like this one a lot, and I am not a romance reader. I gave it 5 stars (catching up with my January books)

Here's to good books in 2025 💗

I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty fun and spicy. Characters could be a little childish at times but I liked it. I‘ll never see candy canes the same way

I absolutely loved this one! It was so fun and the spice had me blushing multiple times! A great book to end the year!!!

I loved this one! A lot of reviews that I‘ve said, say that the FMC and MMC‘s banter is just childish and annoying, but I thought that it was hilarious and delivered well. The candy cane seen also destroys a lot of people, apparently, but I‘ve read way worse 😅. What I do agree with, is that it could have been shorter.

That candy cane scene… wowza! 😳😳😳😳

I set myself a challenge of 45 books this year. I have really slowed in the last month or two... I feel like I'm slipping into a reading slump. I'm thinking I should maybe stick with 45 books for 2025!? I need some really good reads to get me back on track! My faves this year have been books by Richard Osman and Elsie Silver. Happy New Year everyone 💖🎉

This fun #jolabokaflodswap book was a very nice end to my “only silly holiday books in December” tradition for this year, and I‘d recommend it to anyone who loves a bit of spice in the romance. That being said, I did find the narrator inserts and the bits in verse a little jarring.

This book was way too long and ridiculous with the sex scenes . I liked the concept because I love the grinch. But once they started with sex it just turned me off. #WinterGames24 #HolidayBookDragons #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #SugarRushReadathon #ReadAway24 @StayCurious @Andrew65 @DieAReader @Bookwormjillk

This is the perfect way to end Christmas Eve. I‘m so excited to dig into the book AND the Reese‘s! This book has been sitting in my Amazon cart for a minute so thank you so much for getting it @Beatlefan129 ! I think I‘ll start tonight #JolabokaflodSwap

This looks like it‘ll be a fun read, and I do love me some Andes! I just wish I knew who my #Jolabokaflodswap was so I could thank both them and @MaleficentBookDragon who did a fantastic job organizing!

What‘s my second to last Christmas read

I know this will be an unpopular opinion but I didn't like the book. I should have DNF'ed this one. My bad on that because it was a total waste of good reading time. It was so cheesy and I didn't care for the characters. Don't get me started on the plot... which was just bad.

Thank you Debra for my #StuffedStockingSwap package! I‘m on vacation and was just able to post a picture :)
#SSS thank you @Avanders for hosting!

I‘m struggling to get through this book for my book club. It started so slow, and I don‘t like either main character. It‘s too bad, because the premise is so cute. To add to my disappointment, clearly this was rushed through edits… I have never seen a production note left in a book before! (Page 281 for those who want to check your copy.)

I enjoyed this fun holiday read. I alternated between the ebook and audiobook and loved the narration. Aunt Cindy and Max were great supporting characters who provided some hilarious moments.

Did we really need a Grinch-inspired romantic comedy this holiday season? Yes. Yes, we did. It‘s a little long and a lot silly, but I had fun with it. The audio production added to the experience. Merry Grinchmas! 🎧

Good book. Started out a bit slow for me. But ended up being a good book.

Yesterday my town held its annual holiday celebration! There was a Christmas market, a parade, and a tree lighting ceremony! 🎄🎅🏻⛄ I got to be a part of the parade and the library even decorated our book bike to look like a snow globe! It was so much fun! Of course I was reading my current Christmas book while waiting for the parade to start! 🤭💕📖

This is the next Christmas book I started reading the other day! I wasn't sure what to expect, because I have never read anything by this author before! But so far it is delightfully sweet and hilarious! ❤️💚❤️💚

1. I love going to look at the Christmas lights and then coming home to make hot chocolate and warm-up!
2. The tagged book… I have heard such good things about it!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ If this had been around 300 pages, it would‘ve been a cute holiday romance, but at nearly 500 pages? A corny holiday contest doesn‘t need that much explaining. Get. To. The. Point. Honey. We all know where it‘s going, let‘s get there efficiently. Giving a third star because I needed a no-brainer, but I‘m still salty about the page count. Not in a hurry to read Quinn again.

Happy Tuesday! Here are the #Two4Tuesday questions. Thanks to everyone who played last week. Hope you have a fabulous day!

My answers:
🎄 No special holiday traditions. Though I like my tree to be up on Thanksgiving weekend and it can't come down till after the New Year.
🎄 Tagged. I started it yesterday.

Play?? @AnnCrystal @BethM @bthegood @Texreader @Read4life @WildAlaskaBibliophile @Cupcake12 @Eggs @dabbe @lil1inblue @kelli7990 @DebinHawaii

Going from naughty spice to a not so nice Christmas!

Got done work early today, so I decided to stop by my local bookstore for some bookish joy, followed by an egg & cheese croissant sandwich and jasmine tea! 🥰🩷📚 Super yummy! 🤤 I needed this after such a crappy week! Happy Friday, littens!

Walmart knows how to get me in the Christmas spirit with books and moo-moos!!🎄❤️⛄️🌶️

#UnpopularOpinion

This was too long (nearly 500pp). So Grinch adjacent, it was cringe. Why does the narrator have to break the fourth wall? Why the overly grumpy big sister? Why all the weird Christmas competitions? Why this stupid 3rd act break-up? Why not more focus on the romance between the main couple, outside of the 🌶️ scenes? Feels like they went from insta-hate to insta-lust to Insta-love. And that epilogue?

Very un-MeghanQuinn-like. 😐
