Welcome to Litsy!

Finished February! #WickedWords

I quite sorta enjoyed On The Way To The Wedding, with the usual caveats about problematic dude behaviour in these books. I just have to engage older-romance-novel-brain and whimsy away that nonsense in my head.

Now stalking @AsYouWish for the March words :)

Wow, I‘m cruising through my TBR list in 2025. This is book 19 so far! As an avid historical romance fan, I‘m no stranger to Eloisa James. This is from her backlist. Really enjoying it so far! #romance

I thought I might not find this one, but Julie Quinn to the rescue. And that's February done!

I always loved this book. A princess, a pea, what is to be done? Another bingo spots. #ISpyBingoFeb @TheAromaofBooks

A sweet and surprisingly heartfelt regency romance.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

This was a good end to the original 8 books. It had the same/similar formula/plot line as the others. I kind of liked the climactic finally gets the person they love moment. I really wish though that she would have stopped with the compromising position trope and/or the ruined woman trope and yes it feels like a trope. I know that it would have happened in that era, it just got predictable.
Over all it was good. Nice palette cleanser read.

A great old school historical romance. Combine a whip smart ingenue, a jaded and grumpy possible pirate, vintage books, and a mystery to keep you guessing and you‘ve got Reckless. This was a lot of fun!

Started the last of the original Bridgerton series yesterday. I do so love the sassy of the Bridgertons.
This is the youngest son‘s love story, Gregory. So far good. It‘s a nice palette cleanser read for me.

I'm more likely to DNF a book and then find I love it on the second (or even third) try, but this one I loved for the first half and then hated for the second. Something had turned around when I next tried it -- ten years after the first read -- and discovered it now completely worked for me and is a 5 star read.
