Welcome to Litsy!

My grooming salon had a “staff dog color party” last night to try some creative grooming, and Sietje got glammed up for Halloween (and beyond- this is semipermanent dye so it‘ll last for months!) It‘s my first attempt at something like this and I‘m pleased with my results!

I listened to this audio this week and it was fine. Too much 🌶️ for me, but a decent m/m romance. (it‘s a book 2) It‘s from the POV of two exs as they move on after breakup.

The first version has been a favorite reread for me. I adore everything about Edwin. But Marius, and Chasing the Light were a bit of a struggle for me. Marius lashes out at people, which is a trait I don't like to be around, and casual sex never works for me (it's a me thing) but eventually I finished it, and was glad I did. It was good to learn about Marius, but I don't think I want to spend more time with him.

Alex Hall's books are my book candy. They are always things that should not work for me - 1 character is always an a-hole that I wouldn't tolerate in other books. The plot holes are gapping, literally having me say "But why?"
But. I absolutely devour these books!! I love how Hall writes. I find everyone charming and I stay up way too late reading. This one reminds me of 10 Things but is different enough to be enjoyable

Argh! I just downloaded the ebook of this to check something and discovered it has AUTHOR ANNOTATIONS which weren't included in the audiobook! So now I have to read the whole thing again! 😂

This could be considered cheating for the #BacklistReadathon, since I have read the original novella before, but this new edition is three times as long, including a second novella and an epilogue for both. It's two touching stories about Edwin and Marius, long time lovers who weren't able to stay together but go on to form meaningful, healing relationship with others. Lots of drama, especially in Marius' story, because he is ornery AF. 😂

Sweet

I cried almost all the way through this book. I'm not sure why it moved me so much, maybe I was just in that mood.
