Welcome to Litsy!

Henry, king of Elben, must tie 6 wives to 6 palaces to keep the country safe. When Queen Boleyn & Queen Seymour become friends, a truth of the kingdom‘s magic long buried will be brought to light.

What a lush fantasy! So much political intrigue, a fantastical reimagining of history, & sapphic pining. The romance could have been developed more for me, & I would have liked more of the other queens. But I was enthralled the whole time.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This was just a wonderful and compelling second chance romance from a debut author! June, a struggling actor, and Adam, her former best friend and talented chef, used to live together at 74 Perry street. They are both shocked to find out that their former landlord has died and left the brownstone to them as joint new owners. June and Adam haven't spoken for 5 years after a friendship breakup that left them both hurting and angry.

The voice actor who narrated Wally did a phenomenal job. It was exaggerated wholesomeness that came across as so creepy. Loved it. While I enjoyed the listen, the book itself is too obvious, which meant the twist was a huge letdown. Still appreciated the chance to listen. Thanks #netgalley

I really liked this Christian fiction by Jill Eileen Smith! Great fiction faith-filled writing . My first by this author. I will have to get more of her books because I really liked this one. A fictional story of what maybe might have happened from her point of view. I can only imagine what it was like to walk with Christ face to face. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Four people travel back in time to relive an important memory. When they are stuck in the past after their allotted hour has run out, they wonder whether they might be able to stay in the past and change the events that made them come back. Although the four people don't know each other it is soon clear that they might actually share the pivotal moment in their lives. ⬇️

I enjoyed that both MCs were lawyers in their thirties. Their backstories, dialogue, struggles, and misunderstandings felt real. What I loved the most though was Charles' POV. It's clear early on that he is neurodiverse, for example, he seems to come across as robotic at times and has trouble reading people's emotions. This is reflected in the way his chapters are written, ⬇️

This actually isn't that creepy. Despite the ghost and the possession.

How do you steal an archive? One file at a time.

This is the story of a quiet, introverted archivist who had access to the most heavily guarded files in the world. Vasili Mitrokhin had started out as a communist party believer until he was transferred into the archives of the KGB. What he read there angered him to such an extent that he decided to copy the files, one by one, in his own shorthand code to be rewritten in his own time at home.

Helen and Paris‘ love story but make it sapphic and mafia.

I don't think the Greek mythology element works at all. It's barely present and labeling it a reimagining gives expectations that the book doesn't meet.

It's an easy, fun dark mafia romance. That aspect of it is pretty good, it's not to my personal tastes but I can imagine a lot of people will enjoy it.
