Welcome to Litsy!

I received my first #SummerCardSwap from @BkClubCare ! ☺️

I‘ve participated in some other card and book(ish) swaps. I try to check @LitsyEvents every month, so I can spot any readalongs I want to participate in or other swaps to sign up for. lol I too do extra stuff on work time! Can‘t say I have any summer titles in mind. Yes, this year I started participating in the #ReadYourKindle challenge. And two book clubs keep my months full of reading!📖

I felt like this was a solid, well put together about the history and evolution of American bookshops. Did you know Benjamin Franklin had a bookshop? Did you know there was once a fascist bookshop in LA, that sold and promoted propaganda? This book is full of interesting facts. It shows how the ways in which we get books have changed over time—from street books, to indie stores, to big corporations, to billionaires like Amazon‘s Bezos. ⬇️

Instagram kept feeding this up to me as an ad and I bit the bullet, expecting it would be a bit of a disaster IF it ever arrived. But it did and it‘s gorgeous! I‘ve only been to a few, including this library in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This is the perfect book to curl up with and daydream ❤️

If historical fiction doesn't send you down countless Wikipedia holes, is it really good historical fiction? This one had me looking up articles on my phone in the middle of the night. 😂 I liked it a lot.

So I just finished The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore and am going to start The Christmas Tree Farm so here are my thoughts. Pumpkin Spice Cafe gave the Gilmore Girls vibes that I love and I really liked that book. Cinnamon Bun Bookstore is my favorite of the series so far and gave me rom com but not hallmark vibes. I love HANSOF and the spice, while not the spiciest thing I read was so dramatically different than PSC that it threw me for a loop! 5/5 ⭐️‘s

My favorite book of least week was, Bookshop Cinderella. I probably never would have read this one if it hadn't been for #LittensLoveRomance
Just goes to show, never judge a book by its cover.

This was a light read with a happy ending. It made me happy. 😊

A slow burn, a little bit of sizzle, thank God we don't live in that Era kind of book. #LittensLoveRomance @StayCurious #Read2024 @DieAReader Two Bingo spots on ywo bingo boards #ISpyBingoAprilMay @TheAromaofBooks #SeriesLove25 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView #ShelfSweeperReadathon @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 #4Elizabeth @eanderson

I read this book for #LittensLoveRomance hosted by @StayCurious. Total fluff and the definition of a beach read. I liked the characters, especially the FMC, Evie. The plot was good. I felt the ending was a bit rushed. If you like feel-good stories with little tension, this would be a good book for you. 3.5⭐️ #Read2025 @DieAReader #ShelfSweeper @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 #JumpStartSummer
