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

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 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.

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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy Friday the 13th! 🖤 Mia 🐈‍⬛

Starting my next read on the #Kindle and I wanted to show off this gorgeous case 😍

This book was good but not great. I was really enjoying the book until about 75% of the way in when the suspense just stopped. I felt like it started wrapping up too soon and I suddenly missed the “I wonder what‘s going to happen next” urge to keep reading.

#Kindle #ebook

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 🖤🐈‍⬛🥰
#CatsOfLitsy

Loving this book so far💙 and my #kindle arrived today!!!!! I‘m so excited to be back to having a e-reader, it‘s been forever since I had one! The fact that you can get library books straight to it blows my mind. Happy reading everyone!!

This book was wonderful! I really can‘t say enough about this book. From the very first page, I was hooked. There‘s something so relatable about each character, and yet, they‘re all so different. The chapters flow from character to character, each one a seamless transition to continue the story. I had the ending pretty much figured out 3/4 of the way through, but it was the perfect ending and exactly what I wanted to see! A definite must read! 4⭐️

I‘m really enjoying this months‘ #BOTM pick so far!

It covers quite a few tougher subjects but the writing style makes it seem like you‘ve known the characters for years and somehow makes the subjects easier to handle. Each chapter focuses on a different character than the one before it, but they flow together seamlessly.

Reading with my favorite reading buddy 🐈‍⬛

Decided to work on finishing this book. I started reading it years ago but stopped about halfway through. It‘s a very interesting storyline and subject for me, I just wasn‘t reading much then. #catsoflitsy

This book was incredible! I couldn‘t put it down once I opened the cover. It was a wonderful #BOTM pick!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First BOTM book arrived last week!

This book started out really slowly but it definitely picked up by part 2, which happens to be about halfway through the book. I‘m glad I stayed with it because the ending definitely changed how I felt about it. I‘d give it about 3 stars but I do wish it was more interesting in the beginning.
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a fun read! An absolute must for Darcy fans!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was a quick read filled with feel-good moments. I didn‘t want to put it down once I started. Very rarely does a book actually make me laugh out loud but this one did just that. Absolutely loved it!!
