Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed this! It was cute how each chapter paid homage to/poked fun at a different romance trope. I felt a little annoyed by the third-act breakup, but that‘s what the romance formula calls for! #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub

My #aardvark picks

In the midst of chaos, there are always books. My dad has had another stroke. It is a long story that I am still too exhausted to tell fully. Mom and I are working to get him in a nursing home next week. Idk guys. Life is never fair.

Filled my @AardvarkBookClub box 💜💜 #aardvark

@BarbaraBB and @squirrelbrain I‘d love to hear from you if you have time, but I can‘t promise a quick reply. 😘😘

This is a slow burn Romantasy. Vassa‘s parents are both dead and her brother sends her off to get married. She runs away on her wedding night to another city and joined a school to learn more about her magic. Until Reid comes and gets her and makes a deal. Vaasa has to help him for 3 years to become the leader and then she‘s free.

This is the first in a series, so it ends in a bit of a cliffhanger.

It‘s a magical feeling to completely slip inside the world a book creates, and to long to return to it when life requires you to put your book down. While it definitely is its own unique and wondrous beast, it also gave me some serious Harry Potter vibes. This is a story to savor. I want more! #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub

The organ recipient getting involved in the donor‘s family‘s life is an enjoyable trope for me, so it was no surprise I rated this highly!

Rosie is a romantic and when she loses a long-term bf, she‘s heartbroken. But she finds out she‘s developed cardiomyopathy, too, and needs a transplant. Her donor is the wife of a local author. She starts corresponding with him by anonymous email, but his wife‘s death may not have been an accident. #aardvark

Hmm 🤔 wasn‘t a fan of this one. Ji-Won is an 18 year old college student struggling through lost friendships, her parents divorce, and her mother‘s new, creepy bf. She feels responsible for protecting her mother and younger sister all while her mental health is deteriorating. The chapters were extremely short and i really didn‘t like any of the characters. There was a lot (towards the end) that was questionable. First half was extremely slow.

I recently discovered Jordaline Reads on YouTube; she‘s a queer horror book tuber. She‘s inspired me to branch out into trashy genre fiction. So I got this book about a woman obsessed with her heart donor‘s widow. The plot is totally ridiculous but that is the point. Such a guilty pleasure! #aardvark

Both my #botm and #aardvark books came in today! Might have went a little overboard! But am so excited for all of these!

New year, new books! 😁 #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub
