Welcome to Litsy!

This was a fun, little bit silly historical fantasy romance.The eccentric Mr Steepe chooses Charlotte as his bride based on her choice of tea, not realizing that she is only a baker's daughter. She decides to hide her identity as she gets to know him, all the while investigating his meddling cousin and his shady business practices. The magic system was interesting & the characters appealing (despite strange life choices).Overall a quirky good time

Here are my June #Roll100 picks for the month
Stargazer I've had for ages, probably acquired during my Twilight obsession. But upon pulling it down from the shelf I realized it is the second in a series and since YA vampire stories aren't really my thing anymore, this one is going to the donate bin!
I'm looking forward to reading the tagged. Historical fantasy romance is much more my wheelhouse these days 🫖

This was a premise about which I was initially slightly skeptical, but I eschewed my cynicism & read on. And I was pleasantly surprised not just by the fact that the premise worked really well, but also by how much I enjoyed this book! It really did totally grab me. Moving & surprisingly thought provoking with a cracking redemption arc for the bad guy & a really satisfying ending. And dogs. What more could you want really? 🐕🐶🐕

I somehow missed this when it was released. I‘m a big fan of cogman‘s invisible library series. Anyway it‘s 99p on kindle at the minute!

Fabulous graphic novel.

I was underwhelmed by this book. The general concept of the story was great. I actually liked a lot of the little touches that hinted at The Nutcracker. That being said...I didn't like much else about it. The pacing of the story left me bored. I had to push myself to finish it. Then the relationship between characters felt underdeveloped. Same with a lot of the story. Some parts just seemed thrown together. I don't think this is the book for me.

I enjoyed this graphic novel, a reimagining of the Korean folktale of Gumiho the nine-tailed fox.

This is a fun book, a light romance with hints of magic and lots of tea but it is not super well written.
Charlotte is a baker who wants to publish her murder story, and when a magic tea pot connects her with a man who might be perfect, Charlotte has to decide what she wants and who she wants to be.
2.5/5 stars read for a light, kissing only, romance with hits of magic and some intrigue. Some weak writing, but a fun story.

I love a cozy romance and this one really hit the spot. The story of Lynet a middle class bookbinder and Reggie a posh soldier invalided out from WWI working together to create magic books for the government. #mtTBR #ReadAway2024
Book 4 from my TBR!
