I've always enjoyed watching TMNT and reading some of the comics, so I snatched this comic off of netgalley. Some of the stories were interesting, but most of them were too short to be memorable. I did enjoy seeing all of the different art styles, but only using the color green did make it difficult at times to tell the turtles apart easily.

This is the 4th book in the Frankie Elkin series, and I've really enjoyed every single one of them. I ended up giving this one 4 stars. Frankie Elkin is a little lost herself, but she spends her time finding missing people. This time she is looking for a missing Afghan refugee. Lisa Gardner clearly did a lot of research for this book. I love the humor and relationships built in this series. I was so happy to get an ARC of this through #Netgalley

I finally finished the 3 Body Problem trilogy, and it was so worth the read. What a top-tier, well-thought out Sci-Fi series.

Another 5 ⭐️ from T. Kingfisher.

The 3rd book in this series comes out in a few months. While I'm excited for it, I'm starting to feel bad for how much poor Alex Easton keeps going through. Lol

I'm so happy that I started a challenge reading 20 randomly picked Kindle books I've acquired over the years because this one was another win.

This was such a great hockey romance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When the main character in a romance novel is saying life is good, but you're only 75% into a book.... 😬

Hello, third act breakup. 😅🙄😂

I found this comic scrolling through Kindle Unlimited. Based on the cute cover and a quick skim of the description, I immediately downloaded it to read. I wasn't sure how to rate this because the art is fantastic. I really enjoyed the style. I also think the idea behind the comic is great, a witch taking on freelance work. However, I ended up not liking the episodic cartoon strip style, which made it pretty forgettable for me.

A few years ago, I found this ebook free on amazon and downloaded to my Kindle. I just now read it since I'm trying to read through the (almost 200 🙈) unread books on my Kindle.

This turned out to be a swashbuckling good time. It's a trilogy, and luckily, it's also available on KU. 🏴‍☠️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

"The screams of his wounded men had finally begun to subside, but not enough to afford Declan McCallagh any rest."

I've been really enjoying this pirate fantasy book. ?‍☠️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don't really know what I was expecting diving into this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. I love the humor of this dark romance. I'm definitely going to continue on in the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

This was my least favorite of the series so far, but I still enjoyed it. The covers for the books in this series are gorgeous, and this one is no exception.

I loved this book. I definitely need to reread the first book now that I have so much more information on Jack and Jill. At the end, I was so surprised with the way it connected to the first book. 🙀🤯

I can't wait to continue on in this series. ❤️

I picked up this novella this morning and loved it. This is my first Abby Jimenez book, but it definitely won't be my last. 😍

What are your favorite Abby Jimenez books?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to Protected by Claire Kent

This book isn't on Litsy yet, but the tagged book is set in the same universe.

It's safe to say by now that I'll read anything this author writes, but this one was one ended up being one of my favorites from her.

The world as we know it has ended due to meteor that hit part of the world. Those left have to survive in the aftermath. Lilah and Deck (a nonverbal hero) meet in these circumstances. 😍🥰❤️

My #ReaderSummary from #Fable 🥰🫣😅

My #MidYearRecap Part 2

Longest - The Dark Forest at 512, Death's End is about to beat it very soon.

Prettiest - I'm just obsessed with the cover art on the Rebel Blue Ranch books.

Made You Cry - Love and Other Words. How this character handled the grief of losing both parents, both at a different time at a young age, was eerily similar to my experiences.

Sequel - Teddy and Gus 🥰😍

Laugh - Dungeon Crawler Carl was so much fun. 😂

My #MidYearRecap Part 1

Favorite - Slewfoot, but it was a close tie between it and Love and Other Words. ❤️

Worst - Stone Heart. I feel like this book needed to be longer. Everything happened so fast. Very insta-love. Katee Robert might not be for me.

Biggest Surprise - Venom & Lace. A coworker recommended this me. I didn't think I was going to like it, but I had such a fun time.

I am so excited to receive an arc for this book. It's a new standalone book set in one of my favorite post-apocalyptic worlds. I've read every book Claire Kent has released in this world, starting with the tagged book Last Light. She writes post-apocalyptic romance - people falling in love after a meteor has hit the world and changed life as we know it. I always say it's like The Walking Dead without the zombies and more romance. 😂

We stopped by the Harland Sanders KFC Muesum in Kentucky today and found this gem. Anyone happen to have read Tender Wings of Desire? And why do I think I might need to? 🤣🤣

Loving my view this week. 😍

❤️❤️❤️

Kindle update! Loving my new stickers.

I'm attempting to complete #30in30 for this month, but (at only 7 books read so far) I've fallen really behind. 😅 I have a few more books almost completed, but I definitely need to get on the reading groove.

What's a book you loved and could read in one sitting? Length isn't a huge deal, just something you were able to fly through. Thanks in advance, and cross your fingers for me to complete my challenge. 🤞

This book was such a fun romance with a marriage of convenience trope. I enjoyed the hero and the heroine along with their love for their family.

I have really enjoyed this authors other books under the name Claire Kent, so it's been great exploring this pen name.

Last time I checked, this ebook was free on Amazon. 🤩
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm so sad that this series is coming to an end. 🥲 Lyla Sage has me in a choke hold. I will read anything she comes out with.

This cowboy romance series was 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 across the board for me.

Started Slewfoot this evening. I'm really enjoying it so far.

This book has joined the ranks of my favorite books. I've never related to a character more than I did to Macy.

A little bit of cross-stitching and audiobooking this evening. Making this one for my new baby nephew. ❤️

My #BookSpinBingo list is ready to go for the month!

Well, was trying to read the tagged book... Gus Gus had other plans. 😻

#catsoflitsy

Currently reading 📖

I've really been loving this series by Lisa Gardner.

Finished my reread of the first Harry Potter book. Fred and George always make me laugh.

My most shelved and least shelved books for the year. At this point, I've read Hunger Games so much I could quote most of it because I've taught it in a middle school reading class for years. For the 24-25 school year, I've moved to teach math, and I'm going to miss watching students fall in love with the story.

My longest and shortest books for the year. I can't wait to continue on with The Expanse series. I also can't wait to binge all the Sarah J. Mass has written because I lived the journey ACOTAR took me on.

#MyYearInBooks

I had a lot of fun this year in reading. I branched into more sci-fi and fantasy. I had my highest average rating so far this year. I'm really pushing to hit 100 books in 2025. 🤞

#myyearinbooks

Doing a little coloring and reading while the power is out with @CoveredInRust . I think she's convinced me to start a Harry Potter reread.. 🙈

I have been loving this manga series. It's basically about a zoo of dinosaurs that hasn't been performing well recently. The zookeepers are trying to take care of the dinosaurs, and help their zoo get back on people's radar. Very educational as well as cute and fun.

The current state of my A to Z challenge right now. I'm currently reading The Kaiju Preservation Society for K. Anyone have any recommendations for the other letters I need?

Thanks!

The first week back to school has drained all my energy and then some. 😴

Spending the day relaxing and reading my first Lisa Gardner book. I'm really enjoying it so far.

#teachersoflitsy

I love a good cowboy romance. 🤠 This series has been a 5 star series for me so far!

I am so excited for the next 2 books in the series.

Disney meets serial killers in this cute but creepy story about a serial killer bear who is on the hunt for a different killer who's murdering people in his hometown.

I gave this volume 5 stars. The art style is amazing. The story is creepy and intriguing. I'm very excited to read more from this author and see more from the artist. My husband's really enjoying it, too.

#Netgalley

Dnf at 20%. I don't like dnfing books, but this book just isn't for me. I think it's a little too YA. However, I'm still excited to try other books from this author.

Read for ##oneweekoneshelf

This is the next shelf I have spun in my #oneweekoneshelf challenge. Which book should I pick from it?

Leaning toward The Zookeepers Wife or a Marie Benedict maybe... 🤔 Honestly not sure what to choose

This month I started a one week, one shelve challenge to make me start paying attention to books I've been forgetting. I spin a spinner with all my shelves listed on it every Sunday, then read at least one book from that shelve (bonus points if I read more, but that has yet to happen). I've been busy lately, so I'm playing catch-up right now. This is the result of month 1. I still call it a success.

#oneweekoneshelf

I've had this book on my TBR since it was released. Finally getting around to it now and it's addictive! Fun idea and I'm hooked on seeing what happens.

It's release day for the 3rd installment in The Housemakd series by Freida McFadden! It's avaliable in #KindleUnlimited too.

I've enjoyed the first two books in thus series, so I've already got this one downloaded to my kindle and ready to go.

#KU #ReleaseDay

Finally got around to decorating my kindle. 🩷

Bought these salt and pepper shakers at a yard sale and added them to my anthology shelf. 💛💛

My March #bookspinbingo board is ready to go!

#MarchTBR #bookspin

I read 8 books in February. My favorite book (and only 5 star) of the month was First Lie Wins. ❤️

My biggest disappointment was The Perfect Girlfriend. I love the crazy, obsessive stalker trope but this one just seemed too long and drawn out. After it was over, I didn't understand the point of the story anymore. 🙃
