Welcome to Litsy!

Okay, first big stress-event has been hurdled - the realtor came and looked at our house and told us she thinks it will sell for more than we thought WHEW. We have lived here ten years and COMPLETELY remodeled this place and tbh it's a weird little house but we love it and having someone come and tell us how much it was worth kind of felt like we were taking a final test 😂 Next step is waiting to hear from the bank!! Lots of feelings right now. ⬇

This was an interesting read. Benjamin Franklin (yes, that one) spends his free time in London solving crimes. I enjoyed this enough to read more of the series.

This author! I‘ve now read two of her books and I‘m a big fan. A sad, older couple want a child so badly. So when they build a darling little snow girl and wrap her in a red scarf, is it any wonder when they “imagine” her alive? In deep winter in Alaska, a little girl with striking blond hair starts to visit their homestead and in her own way helps them survive their first harsh winter there. But she refuses to stay with them; how can she ⬇️

Still trying to finish my cards so I can send for #naturalLitsy and #litsylove cards!! Audiocrafting to the last two hours of this book

This was the longest audiobook I‘ve picked up in a while, 21hrs!! But I was hooked! 2 kingdoms, a winter and summer kingdom are at war. Winter conquers Summer and his prize is a summerly princess as a bride. There is a lot of tension, her father is awful and it was annoying how much Winter did not trust Kham. Overall, I really liked this one!

#10BeforeTheEnd is shaping up for me. I‘m going to read that Control Unleashed book if it kills me! I‘ve had it on my #TBR for so long.

My last three fiction books should be fast reads. I‘m putting my audiobook of Dungeon Crawler Carl aside while I listen to my library Libby hold for the Marvellers, one of my #SnowedIn choices. But I know I‘ll get back to Carl. Princess Donut will not be ignored!

For now, I‘m reading the tagged ebook🦠❄️🏔️

I may have finished the #sundaybuddyread a little early 🤷🏻‍♀️ it‘s also my #doublebookspin this month with @TheAromaofBooks #ispydecember #snowglobe #wintercosy #snowstorm #wintercleardown #newauthor #winterpokemon #snowy #snowedin @PuddleJumper @CloakNQuill #wintergames2024 #holidaybookdragons #tbrread #holidayread #wgwordsearch

I am fully here for a queer Arthurian romp. This isn't it.

It's set in a fictitious Catholic England several generations after Arthur and Camelot. The country is split between the Catholics and the Cultists - people who believe in Arthurian legend, it wasn't terribly clear.

Catholicism has no impact on anything. The story is play acting as Medieval Europe full of anachronisms and pop culture references.

I really wanted to like this. It has a lot of elements that get me excited. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Too much telling and not enough showing.

The first 60% of the book is just exposition and info dumping.

It was character driven except none of the characters were interesting. Hardly any of them had any development.

It was very slow and boring. I'm so disappointed.
