Welcome to Litsy!

Up next…another one that‘s been on a growing bedside table stack. I *will* get through them!

This book was a load of fun, with entertaining characters and loads of wry humor that I quite enjoyed. My overall rating was somewhat lowered by the ending - it felt like the red herrings got a bit out of control - seriously, how many people have secrets centered around this one spot?? - and one other issue I had I'll put as a spoiler below. But overall this was a great time and I'll definitely pick up the sequel.

From tragedy (Summer‘s suicide) to a HEA for the three remaining friends, this one takes you through difficult times and situations & shows the power of enduring friendships and being true to yourself.

I love Sarah Morgan and this book didn‘t disappoint. A wonderful cast of characters and setting. A Scottish family coming together for Christmas, each with their own worries & plans. The grandmother is hilarious. My favorite read so far this month.

I started this book on December 21, 2024, and finished it tonight on January 20, 2025.
One reason it took me a month to read is that it is a chunkster of a book. I, also, went down the rabbit hole, which I seem to do when I read a history book. The Fate of the Day covers the American Revolutionary War from 1777-1780. It's the 2nd volume in The Revolution Trilogy.

I thought I knew a lot about the Revolutionary War. It's a subject we are ⬇️

It felt fitting to finish this one today. A powerful account of one woman‘s fight against censorship and her right to free speech as the book banners in her community attacked her relentlessly and without cause. This is happening to librarians and citizens all over the US as white nationalists try to take our country back decades. I was angered, informed, and inspired. I highly recommend! #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Very cute, but probably could‘ve been shorter. An enjoyable read, and I‘d be open to reading the other books in the series!

Maybe I would‘ve liked this more if it weren‘t too similar in plot & theme as a couple of other books I‘ve recently read. Nice writing, but kinda blah. In this story, estranged sisters come back together and work through grief and trauma following the discovery of their mother‘s body- 15 years after she disappeared. #bookspinbingo #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I really enjoyed the first volume. I've wanted to read this for ages after watching bits and pieces of the show. It is very different from the show and I think much better.

Guo Changcheng was definitely my favourite. I related to him so much.

There was mystery, mythology, pining, and longing looks, all the good stuff.

#weekendreads finished tagged & adored! Takes a WHILE to get into. You get the gritty arena juxtaposed by the sweet romance although insta-love tied with political commentary & magical creatures 🖤

#currentread for a fable group. Half through & at the point where its about to go from 30 to 10364849. Sooooooo… should finish in a day/two since the MCs tension is too high for me atm 😆
