pick4.5/5 ⭐️ I forgot to post this review, but I loved this book! It was funny and sweet and spicy! #littensloveromance
CW: eating disorder, but I think it was handled really well and I say this as someone who struggles with disordered eating
1. Zola looked so cute in the flowers in our yard
2. I put a plastic clover on Zeke's head 😂
3. Flavored lemonade from my favorite local cafe
4. Late night conversation with hubby ❤️
5. Laying in my hammock when the weather was absolutely perfect ☀️

1. The Vampire Diaries show is amazing and the books are meh
2. Big Little Lies was fantastic and added so much more than the book
3. You - Penn Badgley is deliciously creepy
Honorable mentions - True Blood, Gossip Girl, The Princess Diaries
(And yes ik these are all tv shows but I enjoy TV shows far more than movies)
Depending on my mood and my headspace I go back and forth between audiobooks and physical books. Sometimes I even do both at the same time, which is a lot of fun to feel even more immersed in the story!

The husband and I ventured to a Korean BBQ restaurant and had a feast! Lots of veggies and meats, our favorite was the bulgogi beef. We also had the Korean fish shaped pastry filled with red beans and fried rice cakes with powdered sugar!
And the other day I made cheesy Korean corn (bottom right Pic), it was delicious!

pick3/5 ⭐️ Light pick for this #FoodandLit Korea book. Love triangle set during the Korean war and the years following. Very sad though.
pick4/5 ⭐️ Fun novella from one of my favorite authors! This would have been even better if it was longer so the characters were more developed

My husband has a conference so I decided to host a readathon! I'm hoping to get through at least 2 books. 💐📚
Hello #LitsyCrafters ☺️ How is your 2024 going so far?
This year I'm crocheting a book blanket! Each color is a different genre and the number of rows is the star rating I gave it. Above is what I have so far!
One of my goals this year is to complete more projects that I've already started.
If you'd like to be added or removed from the #LitsyCrafters tag list let me know.
so-so3/5 ⭐️ This was an Anna Karenina retelling but with young rich teens in New York. I've never read the original Anna but this was wild. These kids were out of control, so much drugs, alcohol, and sex. I read it early for #FoodandLit South Korea as the main family is Korean, but it wasn't really a part of the story.
pick3.5/5 ⭐️ Cute story with so much tasty food. I wish there was more development with Ryan's father, but I think the grief storyline was well written.

pick4/5 ⭐️ This was quite the genre blending adventure! Great commentary on government and police corruption, LGBTQIA rights, class warfare, and more all set in a fantasy biopunk world. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series coming out this fall!

A day late, but I wanted to show what I made my husband for Valentine's day! ❤️ We've really been into Ted Lasso lately so I made it a theme. Here's my card, a paper box, and the shortbread biscuits from the show that I all made! #LitsyCrafters
Birthday Book Haul!! 🎉
February is always a busy month for me!
My husband and I both have birthdays this month, mine's today! Of course there's Valentine's day too. Also our dating anniversary! This year we've been together a whole decade! 🎉 💕 Time has flown by and I'm so proud of how far we've come! Looking forward to the next decade with you by my side! ❤️

pick4/5 ⭐️ I normally don't like short stories but I really enjoyed this collection! I loved that every story had strong female characters! My favorites were Nefertiti, Attem, Naleli, and Orin.
#FoodandLit Ghana 🇬🇭
pick4.75/5 ⭐️ Chloe Gong has done it again!! Heavy world building that was a bit much in the beginning but otherwise fantastic dark fantasy! And wow what a cliffhanger! 🤯

pan2/5 ⭐️ I think I'm in the minority here, but I did not care for this book. I don't like when the majority of the book could have been solved if the characters just had an honest conversation. #littensloveromance

pick3.75/5 ⭐️ My first western romance was a sweet and steamy one. One thing that really bothered me was the male MC calling the female MC "sugar" a million times ?
I've been playing around with some picture editing apps and made this! #LitsyCrafters

pick5/5 ⭐️ Team read for #CandyCaneCrushers #wintergames 🍭 I loved it! Christmas market romance with some magic and so many Wisconsin (my home state) references! This really made me miss kringle and wish I had ordered some to be shipped this year. (O & H Danish Bakery is my favorite!)

pick4.75/5 ⭐️ Nearly perfect, with the exception of a third act issue. I love the friends-to-lovers trope and fake dating. So much holiday festiveness and delicious sounding food!
