Of course book 1 of the year had to be a Christina Lauren book 💙 I‘ve had this on my shelf since it‘s release date and finally have time to read it!
This book was so sweet and had many laugh out loud moments. Somehow it still managed to have some incredibly hot scenes. I highly recommend it!
5⭐️
My last read of 2022 and quite a bit short of my 30 book goal. I was doing well but work turned into utter chaos. 14/30 while keeping in mind I took care of myself the best I could isn‘t too bad. Happy new year everyone!
This book provided an interesting insight into Agatha Christie‘s life and disappearance. I haven‘t read any of her books yet, but this made me want to!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was adorable!!! The characters were well written and it was filled with laugh-out-loud and heartfelt moments. I can‘t wait to read the sequel!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘ve been pretty MIA on here. Work has been insanely busy, but I am trying to get caught up on my reading challenge for this year. I hope you‘re all having a wonderful Sunday!! 🌹
This book was full of twists and turns that kept me guessing and never quite gave away the ending. I really enjoyed the writing style and the character descriptions.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I adore Penelope and Colin together! This was another wonderful addition to the Bridgerton series. I like that this one had a bit more substance after they got together. A must read for all Bridgerton fans!
4.5⭐️
Most of this book felt a bit too Cinderella like to me but the ending absolutely melted my heart. Benedict is officially my favorite Bridgerton son. I love that he followed his heart and absolutely adored the second epilogue about Posy!
4.5⭐️
I loved this book! Kate and Anthony‘s chemistry was electric and somehow more intense than Daphne and Simon‘s, which is hard to imagine. Unlike the first, I read this before I will start season 2 of the show. I‘m excited to see how the show tells the story but I can‘t imagine that it will live up to the love I have for this book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
1. The Second Mrs. Astor - a bit out of my normal rom-com reading zone, but it was beautifully written and the story is captivating
2. Christina Lauren! I absolutely adore everything I‘ve read thus far from this writing duo!!
3. Book Lovers by Emily Henry! I enjoyed People We Meet on Vacation but it didn‘t come close to Beach Read in my heart. I can‘t wait for another author rom-com read!
@ozma.of.oz - thank you for creating this
#sundayfunday
Let me start this by saying I watched the show and I still couldn‘t put this book down. If you‘ve seen the show, you know what to expect, but if not, think Darcy and Elizabeth with a twist. Both Daphne and Simon will do things that will upset you, make you laugh and melt your heart. At the end of it all, you can‘t help but want to know more about their life together and cheer them on. I‘m so glad this one had the 2nd epilogue!
TW: rape
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another wonderful CLo book! I adore this writing duo so much! If you ever enjoy watching Fixer Upper and you like relationship drama, you‘ll love this book. Think Chip and Joanna relationship issues with another perfect love story waiting to unfold behind the scenes. Absolutely adored this book!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is a beautifully written story about love and loss. The heart wrenching story of the Titanic has always fascinated me but this book added a new depth to what I knew about it. Fiction or not, I can‘t help but feel that I have a deeper understanding of what happened and how it affected so many. If you‘re interested in the history of the Titanic, then this is a must read!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Totally not Litsy related, but today is Mia‘s gotcha day! A year ago today I brought the sweetest furbaby home from a rescue. She was surrendered by her previous owner‘s family after her owner passed away. I was looking for an orange cat but something kept bringing me back to this sweet baby‘s picture. I contacted the rescue and scheduled the soonest appointment I could get to meet her, immediately fell in love and told her she was coming home ❤️
I really enjoyed the writing style and how the author was able to shine a light on privilege in the US with a story that captured my attention at every point. This was a quick read that had its fair share of cringeworthy, heartwarming, heartbreaking and triumphant moments.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book is a fantastic edition to the Well Met series! I have a new found respect for Mitch and I love that I‘ve been able to connect with each heroine in a different way.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I know it‘s not Wednesday anymore but thank you for the tag @EadieB !
1. Holidaze by Christina Lauren from @MaleficentBookDragon 😊
2. The Butler by Danielle Steel
3. The Soulmate Equation 😍
@Mommamanzi how about you?
This book was a quick read filled with magic, love and some steamy scenes. If you enjoy rom-com like reads, you‘ll definitely enjoy this one! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#catsoflitsy
This book is perfection!! Christina Lauren drew me in with The Soulmate Equation and just completely solidified their position as my favorite authors. What an incredibly funny, flirty and sexy book! My first book of 2022 is going to be impossible to beat.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Last year I rekindled my passion for reading around May and set a goal of finishing 12 books. I realize that‘s nothing, especially for my fellow Littens, but I had gone from reading a book or two a year to really dedicating time for myself to read. I ended up reading 25 books in 2021 but stopped reading around mid-October. This year I set my goal at 30 books and am hopeful I‘ll exceed that. I‘m excited to set more time aside soon ❤️📚
Hands down, my #worstof21 is Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine. It really needed to come with a trigger warning.
Thanks for the tag @MaleficentBookDragon
My #jolabokaflod swap was waiting for me after my trip ☺️🎄. Thank you so much for the chocolate cherries and almonds! They look so good! So excited to read this book!
Off to the post office with my #jolabokaflodSwap and Christmas cards!
Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this!! So excited for this to be my first swap!
I just signed up for my first ever Litsy swap! So excited for the #jolabokaflodswap hosted by @MaleficentBookDragon
A new book and chocolate on Christmas Eve, what could be better?! 🍫📖
I adored this book! It‘s filled with so many wonderful moments, with everything from laugh out loud, swoon worthy and cringe worthy. Once you start reading it, you won‘t want to put it down!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I liked this book but feel like it‘s going to be hard to review. The whole time, you‘re waiting for Elle to make her choice and yet you‘re left on the last page, still not knowing for sure who she chose. In my opinion, the ending didn‘t do the story justice.
TW- rape, incest
3.5⭐️
I don‘t watch reality dating shows but I LOVED this book!! Bea was the perfect heroine. She brought a fresh, and much needed, perspective to the world of reality tv. If you love a sweet rom-com with a picturesque ending, this is the book for you!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘m so proud of @Mommamanzi for opening her #LittleFreeLibrary today!!! The grand opening was perfect!!!! 🦋🦋🦋
Follow this gorgeous library on Facebook and Instagram at The.Monarch.Manor ❤️
I really enjoyed this book! It was a great, quick read with a perfect ending.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What do you do when your best friend and your husband both break your trust?
This book was good and I understand why it ended the way it did, but it felt so incomplete to me. I would have preferred a more concrete decision from the heroine but it was more true to life with the ending.
3.5⭐️
Unpopular opinion: the best part of this book was the cat.
I heard wonderful things about this book but it just didn‘t do it for me. It seemed to drag on forever. I know the dialect was to engross the reader in the location and era but it made it much more difficult to follow. There were good parts to the book but the overall story fell flat.
2.7⭐️
I loved this book! It‘s probably the first cozy mystery I‘ve read and I honestly couldn‘t put it down! I finished it in 3 sittings but only bc I had to work. I‘m excited for the sequel and to add more cozies to my TBR.
4.5 ⭐️
I really enjoyed this book! I had no clue it was a follow up to Big Summer until I was about 25% of the way in and saw a character‘s name in it. It‘s not a sequel in the sense of having the same characters and continuing their story line, but more of a different branch of the timeline with new characters. I can‘t wait for the 3rd one to come out - The Last Summer.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was an excellent continuation of the first. I love a perfect romantic ending but there was something with how this one ended that just made me love it more. It left the story open enough for the possibility of a 3rd book, while also concluding the storylines with enough room for curiosity about what will happen later. I adore this series!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I really enjoyed this book! It was a quick read that made me want to never put it down. I can‘t wait to read the sequel!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved this book! It really is the perfect summer read, filled with so many touching moments. The characters were so well written with enough realness to their stories that you could see someone‘s love life playing out the same way. If you like romance with laugh out loud moments, real life disappointments and the best ending, read this book. You won‘t regret it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Starting this book tonight to ward off the Sunday Scaries and hopefully get the work week started off right 🤞🏻☀️📚

Anxiety, depression and suicide are at the forefront of this book, but it is so beautifully written. While most books with these themes so prevalent can be quite triggering, this book wasn‘t (at least for me). A story that is not just about hope but about appreciating all the little things that are so easy to overlook. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is in a rut and is unable to see the beauty in their life.
4.5 ⭐️
#CatsOfLitsy
This book was a combo of two of my favorites, romance and thriller / mystery. I loved the transition in the book from one genre to the next and how it covered the more difficult parts of loving yourself and realizing how good you really do have it. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance but also wants to be caught up in the suspense of a thriller / mystery.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book really needs a trigger warning. There are so many serious subjects in it and very few of the high ratings actually disclose this. Reading a summary of the book, I really didn‘t think I was going to be getting into a book about child abuse, mental illness, domestic violence, etc.
This book was ok but it is not the book for me.
⭐️⭐️
#Kindle #ebook
Some books should have trigger warnings, regardless of where you are borrowing / purchasing them from. This is that book. I‘m 21% of the way through and I can‘t decide whether or not I should just bail on this one. I haven‘t bailed on a book yet but this is disturbing. There have already been implications of severe mental illness, child abuse, domestic violence and emotional / psychological abuse.
#Kindle #ebook
This book ended exactly how I wanted it to and provided hope in a way that only a book can do. In a world where everyone has flaws, it was lovely to see that each character was so well written. Every character had depth, which only made me love them more. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who needs a more realistic rom-com in their life! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #AmazonFirstReads
#Kindle #ebook
Just started this book today. It was my free Prime book for July. So far it‘s cute but I really am not loving the heroine‘s name 🤦🏻♀️. #CurrentlyReading #Kindle
A wonderful addition to the Well Met series! I love how I‘ve been able to relate to each heroine in a different way. I can‘t wait to read the third book!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was perfect! From laugh out loud moments to steamy scenes and everything in between, I didn‘t want to put it down. I can‘t wait to read the next book in this series!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BOTM
I didn‘t get the book open for more than a few seconds when my sweet girl, Mia decided to join me 🖤🐈⬛🥰
