Welcome to Litsy!

Fun and unexpected, I really enjoyed this fake dating trope that was different than any others I‘ve read. I loved the body positivity, the librarian FMC, and the work that these two do on themselves to make themselves confident and their relationship stronger. All that and spice too! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I enjoyed this one, but it wasn‘t a stand-out in the series. Helma‘s longtime (and unlikely) best friend Ruth is at the center with the uproar caused by her new series of paintings “Ruth Revealed.” Someone thought she revealed too much - and destroyed two of the pieces.

A fitting end to the series! This was the first mystery series I‘ve read that had an ending - well I guess Marple and Poirot did?

Lucy, a young librarian, gets pulled into the life of a young boy who frequents the library, 10-year-old Ian. It turns into a rather far-fetched road trip adventure of sorts. There was a lot about reading and books and how important they are, so that was good. But it also really didn‘t quite hold up and was a bit of a mess in the middle. The characters‘ motives were never very clear and their relationship didn‘t quite develop.

Weird, it did end up being a funny story

This is my third Emily Henry book and I‘m seriously beginning to wonder why it has taken me so long to read her books? I loved this story, definitely more than Beach Read and possibly even more than Book Lovers. First book for #WinterGames2024 is in the bag and that‘s +60 points for Team #HolidayBookDragons

The National Book Awards were announced tonight and here are the winners (in the categories I follow)! I‘m delighted with the NF winner and I certainly can‘t argue about Everett getting his due (though a part of me wanted to see My Friends take it). The translated pick is the only one I haven‘t read yet, as it only came out last week, so I‘m looking forward to seeing what I think.

Emily Henry does it again! After Daphne‘s fiancé calls off their wedding—because he's fallen for Miles's girlfriend—she ends up as roommates with Miles, and the two begin to heal together. This book gave me all the feels, and I related so much to Daphne. Her trauma and mine are different, but the effects feel so familiar. Likable, relatable characters and so much heart, Funny Story is a must-read if you like romance with depth. ? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

A rare snowstorm in Washington (the town doesn‘t even own a snowplow), an explosion, and the dubious status of the new library site causes a situation only Miss Zukas can remedy!
