Welcome to Litsy!

Bk3 of May is done. Loved the conclusion to this mythology/earth magic duology so much! I need to include more BIPOC fantasy into my reading coz this was fabulous. For a YA story there‘s a lot of very heavy themes here including grief & the burdens of duty but there‘s also snark & the power of love. Highly recommend. #BookspinBingo #FourFoursIn23 #Pantone2023 #ReadySetRead

Bk2 of May is done. I‘m really hoping this means my mojo is coming back, but I‘ve prob just jinxed it! The 1st in a YA duology by a BIPOC author, it features an LGBTQ+ & BIPOC cast in a mythology/magical retelling of the Medea story involving poison gardens & earth magic. I loved it so much I‘m already halfway through the sequel. #BookspinBingo #Doublespin #FourFoursIn23 #NoBuy2023Bingo #ReadingTheUSA #NewYork #Pantone2023 #ReadySetRead

I couldn‘t help starting this one yesterday, then I‘m up till 8am this morning finishing it! It was intense, intriguing & obviously, very addicting. But I did have some issues with it, which I‘ll be explaining in Spoiler comments below👇👇👇 #Booked2023 #Featuring3Generations #FourFoursIn23 #WombatCombat #ChunksterChallenge #Pantone2023 #GreyedJade #ReadySetRead #52BookClubRC #BookspinBingo

The final book in the Bridal Quartet is my favorite. First off, it's just fun because by now you know all the characters so well. But I also really relate to Parker a lot, and also her entire relationship with Mal just ❤️ I also married a blue collar, rough-around-the-edges man whose motorcycle was unexpectedly attractive 😂 Overall just a happy series that I always love to reread.

Bk1 of #EasterOMC & #AwesomeApril #readathon is done! Wow. One of the best SciFi books I‘ve read in a long time, and I‘ve read some brilliant one lately. I love a novel with intricate world-building & this has some of the best I‘ve read. Then she peoples it with the best characters I‘ve met. Total win-win for me👍 #BookspinBingo #Doublespin bk of April #Booked2023 #WithATransorNonBinaryPerson #FourFoursIn23 #RomanceExpanse #NoShameReadathon

Liv is nervous about filming a reunion of the teen drama that launched her career. It isn‘t the script or the return to TV that are causing her nerves. It is once again being close to co-star Ransom who was once her closest friend and her unrequited crush. I have seen some mixed reviews for this one but I really liked it. The behind the scenes antics were fun and the chemistry between Liv and Ransom was sold.

Finally got another quartet in #fourfoursin23 ! This romantic suspense novel involves a whole money laundering storyline.

Also, we get to see Roscoe in a pile of puppies.

I found this one to be quite engaging, partially because I actually liked Hal, which is more than I can say about other Ware MCs that I have read haha Not a lot actually happens here and it seemed like I should be bored, but instead I really did want to find out how Hal was connected to this family. Not a book I will read again, but a one-off I really enjoyed.

Not quite as great as the first book in the series but still a lot of fun. This time around Finlay is trying to find out who wants to put a hit out on her ex husband and things quickly get more complicated when a hit man accepts the job, her ex refuses to see that there is a threat, two men are confusing the heck out of her, and her agent still expects her next book.

My word, what a book! I can see why this one has never been as popular as Austen's novels. The characters here were not particularly likable or relatable, almost nothing happens, and I didn't particularly hold out any hope for the long-term happiness of anyone haha I am glad to have read this classic, but it is way too long for the amount of story it contains. Never would have made it through without snarky hashtags from @BarkingMadRead !! ⬇️
