Welcome to Litsy!

I'm so glad I finally made myself read this one! Not only did I fall for all of the below-stairs personalities, I appreciated the great perspective on what it takes to keep the Bennets sisters in clean petticoats and shoe roses. I loved that we got to see glimpses of Lizzie after her marriage, too, and of course some closure for our heroine Sarah. If you've not read it, #PemberLittens, don't wait as long as I did! #JaneAustenThenAndNow

Loved how the first one ended, loved how this one started and ended. Love that the series has just 2 books and not more. Of course, I loved the first one more and this felt a little slow paced but still good. DID NOT LIKE how Irsa's story panned out. Loved the characters and the twists and basically a full jam-packed book and a must-read series.
4.5/5🌟

Retelling of the world's longest epic poem known to mankind, Mahabharata, from Draupadi's POV, the wife of 5 Pandavas. I have always loved Mahabharata and so just expected a LOT from this book. And just breaks my heart to say that I was quite disappointed. I do not get the hype for it. A strong no for someone getting to know the Indian culture or the epic. Please go for the English translation of the original epic.
1/5🌟

Found this re-telling of The Grimm' s "Six Swans" to be compelling and evocative. There was beautiful world building and Sorcha, the heroine, was strong. I found the last few chapters dragged. The fairy tale was complete so they were dedicated to completing the love story and I'm not much of a romance reader.
Still, it was good. And I think I'll take a break from fairy tales for a while.

I liked the first book but I really loved this one! Eros and Psyche journey to love was just so sweet❤️

I hold Cheong for a moment longer, then step back.
“Mina.” Shin waits, holding one hand out toward me.
I take it, and with a smile, I tell him, “Let‘s go home.”

“Whatever challenges lay ahead—and he wasn‘t so foolish or far-gone to believe they‘d be without difficulties—they would overcome one by one. Together.”

Rereading during a hair appointment. I love Jane Austen retellings.

Fabulous
