Welcome to Litsy!

Day 8 of #37by37

Yay I made it! ⏱️ Toward the end I started bouncing around between a couple titles but I should finish these before the month is out. 🧁

Thanks to everyone who played along. I had a truly great birthday and today I‘m attending a silent book club at a new bookstore here in town. Happy Sunday!

I don‘t read many romances (I overdosed on them as a teen and developed a severe allergy 😂) but Emily Henry‘s humor won me over. She just expressed my relationship to math over my entire academic career in one sentence: “I feel like I‘m back in high school calculus, random bits of equations and numbers drifting around me nonsensically: there‘s some kind of meaning there, but I do not have the right brain to interpret it.” She nailed it! 😂

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.7-8: Mabel is an interfering lady but she clearly has Noah‘s best interests at heart. It was funny how he was so mad at her for refusing a room to Amelia but he knew he couldn‘t do anything - he was outmatched. Poor Amelia - Susan seems like a pill. I‘m sad that they have both lost their joy in music and got sucked into the drawbacks of the industry.⬇️

Yes, there appears to be a lot going on here. Combo Post! #5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

1. “a half amused, half scandalized smile over overtakes his face OK so I lean into him lift my chin index forehead and we have one of the top five worst kisses of my life….” Drinking G&T in a Massey‘s glass, sitting on the patio, no bugs, fun book, it‘s Friday!
2. Flowers still in bloom: Purple and orange.
3. My attempt to capture Northern Lts
4. WPG tee

#fridayhappyreadinghour Cheers Litsy Peeps! I hope this weekend brings you all the reading time you need ❤️ this #littensloveromance is delightful and hard to not inhale in a single sitting

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.5-6: oh boy, Mr Surly Pose strikes and it‘s a bit mean. There they were, bonding over pancakes, and then he realizes what he‘s doing and pushes Amelia away. Poor girl. She‘s attracted and he‘s looking for the escape hatch. Here‘s hoping the townsfolk work together to keep bringing these two together. At least to give them a bit of a chance.⬇️

🎧 The narrators did not work for me, and I think I‘m not meant to hear in my ear any even mildly 🌶️ scenes. I‘m not built for it. Reading the physical book may have worked better for me, but overall, this was not it. Dogs are one of my favorite things ever, but the MC “hearing” what the dog was “saying” but without any magical realism elements to back it up was an ick. And then the epilogue…🫠🫨

Up next on audio…
