Welcome to Litsy!

This was a cute witchy romance!

The premise is super fun. It‘s about two witches who fall in love during a spell casting reality show competition. The competition parts were very entertaining to read.

The romance aspect worked very well. The two leads, Penelope and Gil, made a great couple. I loved their dynamic and their chemistry.

Pretty good! My #doublespin for November @TheAromaofBooks

I'm about 75% done with my #BookSpin but it's not a good curl up on the coach story for Friday night reading. So I figured I'd start November's #DoubleSpin

#doublespin is a #dnf. @TheAromaofBooks

Although I wanted to know what happened, I didn't like Eleanor's character, and wasn't keen on picking the book back up. I ended up reading the Wikipedia entry!

Only my coworkers came to my program tonight but we had fun and ate so much leftover Halloween candy. I‘m going to start Better Living Through Birding to prepare for more programming! #doublespin #bookspinbingo

A little bit of everything in this one! A spicy (🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️), fast-burn with an emphasis on the lovely-dovey (maybe too much towards the end). The MMC parallels Christian Grey at times and the drama that pops up is fun! It‘s definitely a tugger of the heart-strings too. ⚠️ Trigger warning: ⚠️ loss of a parent. My November #doublespin !

I‘ve loved John O‘Donohue‘s writing in the past. His book of blessings (To Bless the Space Between Us) always has something rich and meaningful to offer, and I‘ve often come across quotations from O‘Donohue‘s work that are exactly what I need when they cross my path. So I had high expectations for this one, having had it on my TBR for some time.

O‘Donohue offers an exploration of Celtic spirituality as he examines friendship, the senses, ⤵️

Both novellas were twists on horror staples - the hitchhiking murder and the babysitter on Halloween. Both were pretty bonkers. I liked The Babysitter Lives a little more, it just dragged at the end. It had the far better protagonist though. The female protagonist of Killer on the Road was very frustrating. I‘d give Killer on the Road 3⭐️ and The Babysitter Lives 4⭐️.
#doublespin read done!

Cute seasonal read! 🍂
