Welcome to Litsy!

Enjoying a long coffee break and tagged book.

Really enjoyed it.

I‘m in heaven - and it‘s my front yard. 😁

Hammock, blanket, cooler weather, and a fun romp of a romance novel.

Finished this late last night and immediately considered that OOOPS I was supposed to only read the first half?! #CampLitsy2025

Very pregnant Annie navigates Portland Oregon after a devastating earthquake wreaks havoc. My heart was pounding, I was incredibly thirsty, I was so scared for her & lil Bean!!

@Chrissyreadit

so good! a 5/5 for me. Slice of life focused ons magical zoo keeper just trying to get a critically endangered phoenix to breed.

Note: This has a heavy romance marketing. While romance is a subplot and adds to the story, it is not mostly about romance.

Grand so.

“It‘s hope that makes us afraid, and I remind myself that a man should be grateful for his fears, ‘cause it means he has something to lose and to win.”

“Directors without a producer are like a ship without a sail, the medium of wind to endeavors nautical being equivalent to coin in all theatrical,…”

Some really great sentences in this! 🌟 #debut #drama #ToF

If the author is Irish, chances are I will love the book. This is no exception. Everything feels so real, so slice of life. Sure it may be a story about some criminals kidnapping a young man and forcing another to allow them in his house, but the story is so well told.

My #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin reads for April are a couple of short weird novels. Looking forward to both

Thanks @thearomaofbooks !
