Welcome to Litsy!

I was excited to read this book; yet, it was a disappointment. I never connected with the characters, and I felt it dragged. It would have been better with less. This is the first book in the series, and the series is supposed to get better as it goes along. I'm on the fence as to whether I will read the next month. 2.5🌟 ##SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65

This book took me by surprise. I was expecting more of a fluff type book; however, I got so much more. The story and characters have so much depth. It is definitely a slow burn. Loved it and have already started the next book. 4.5 🌟

Finished Book #11 for #BobWhiteBR on Sunday. Trixie & the Bob-Whites (sans Dan of course & Di this time) are off to Uncle Andrew Belden‘s lodge in the Ozarks. Trixie is obsessed with finding rare cave ghost fish to win $500 to buy a station wagon for “crippled children.” As a child, I remember being fascinated with the ghost fish & admiring Trixie‘s bravery in spelunking in the caves. (My claustrophobia could never!)😱

I feel bad about this rating, because Jilly Cooper is a bit of a National Treasure, particularly so in Gloucestershire, the county she and I both live in. This third instalment in her Rutshire Chronicles is, on the whole, a good book: though it‘s bold and brash, at its heart is romance and true love. But I can‘t ignore the domestic violence and animal cruelty in it 😩

Kianthe and Reyna are days away from their wedding day. The whole town is working towards creating the wedding of the century. Now just add a few baby dragons, a coup to overthrow Queen Tilaine, Kianthe's parents and her childhood friend, the dastardly Pirate Dreggs and his crew,... Well, they have made plans, so what could possibly go wrong?

I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to the next/last one in the series.

Absolutely superb!

What a conclusion. Never in a million years would I have guessed at the ending of this series. But that's been the theme through all these books... the most unexpected, unnerving twist and turns unfolding into the most exceptional story that will live in my heart forever.
Characters crafted with such emotional depth and complexity that I can't help but think of them as real.

Enjoyed it! I always like reading why the characters want to time travel.

Finished the audiobook this weekend as I ran errands, I enjoyed this pick for #ThematicCozies March #Hobby Brenna has been in her small New England town, a refugee of Boston where the art gallery she ran was violently robbed. She teaches decoupage art in the paper craft store her friend Tenley owns & gets involved in solving the mayor‘s death when her landlord is accused. The characters show promise & I like that there⬇️

Book three in the Jacksonville Ray's series is just as good as the first two. Loved the story and the characters. Just the right amount of spicy with great development. 4.5 🌟 Looking forward to book four.

27/100 I bailed on Schreiber's other Star Wars book, Red Harvest, but I really enjoyed this one. All I know about Darth Maul is what I got from Episode 1, but he's a very interesting character, brutal, viscous, and very good at fighting. For some reason, I like the Star Wars books dealing with the bad guys, more than the heroes. Schreiber's writing is dark, violent, gory and intense, definitely showing the dark ⬇️
