Snowspelled: The Harwood Spellbook | 
#PromptMaze book with a “cold“ world in the title. A fun Regency style romance set in a world where trolls collect tolls, elves and humans have an uneasy alliance, and women rule but are discouraged from using magic. (I found the gender rules/roles rather confusing.) Add in a nice pining hero and a wonderful family for the main character and you have a charming story.

Day 1 of #20in4 and I've got barely 2:15 hrs read, but also finished 2 books and am almost a third into this (so far very enjoyable!) one. I didn't have much left in either book I finished, still satisfying.
I'd love to hit 20 hours but I've also got an assignment to work on this weekend for a course I'm taking, so I doubt I will. Hopefully I'll finish 2 more books though, trying to clean up some of my on the go ones before the end of the month.
I‘ve just started this one based on a LibraryThing book bullet; I‘m one chapter in. It‘s set in a parallel world where magic exists in something like Regency times. The protagonist is journeying to a country house in a horse carriage in winter. It‘s mainly scene setting so far but there‘s a circumstance the narrator assumes we know but the author hasn‘t told us yet. Frustrating 🙂
Hi Litsy family, I started experiencing some symptoms so went to the testing center. It took over two hours to get through the line. Thankfully I had my Kindle. I finished the tagged book and started a second. Turns out I also had a fever (never felt feverish!) so between that and the shortness of breath, I got swabbed and will know the results within 72 hrs. Stay safe out there.
Here are my #purpleandpink ebook covers

pickThis was over quicker than I expected. Ach y fi, despite how short the book is, it quickly set me to wanting a certain outcome -- which I mostly got, but not quite.
A quick read; looking forward to the second volume. #WyrdandWonder #TBRBingo
Day 29: Most Anticipated Release of 2019
The cover was just revealed today in a happy coincidence! Isn‘t it beautiful? I tagged the first book in the series because this one isn‘t on Litsy yet. If you‘re intrigued by Regency England plus magic and Faeries, give this series a go.

pickThis review is for “Spellswept,” Book 0.5 of “The Harwood Chronicles,” prequel to “Snowspelled.”
I‘ve been home sick all day & between my swimmy head & my inability to breathe properly, I‘ve felt a little like I‘m drowning. So, it was fitting that I read about an underwater ball.
Burgis‘ story was like a little, magical bubble of fresh air! The taboo romance, gender swaps, & fantasy element all had me swooning in a very gentlemanly fashion. 😉
I almost NEVER read ebooks... but when Stephanie Burgis puts out an eARC, I make an exception. 💖
Just snagged a copy of this baby. Her “Kat, Incorrigible” middle-grade series (aka “A Most Improper Magick”) is definitely included on my list of favorite witchy books; it‘s earned her my devoted readership for all-time.
pickI really enjoyed this alternate Regency Britain where men wield all the magic and ladies run the country! The heroine is a magic-user who refuses to follow gendered rules. I especially liked the rough and ready hero, who never gave up on the heroine, even when she gave up on herself. #paranormalromance. #historicalromance
pickThis was such a delight to read! I've been in a reading slump, and it turns out, this was just what I needed 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
pickI'm always attracted to Regency fantasy, but very rarely does it live up to my hopes. This is one of those rare exceptions - a wholly enjoyable novella that creates an interesting world and a twist on a feminist struggle. The magic isn't well defined, but the politics are. Interestingly, politics are the realm of women, magic the realm of the gentlemen (and considered inferior to politics for a woman). Yet our heroine is a magician.
4⭐s
Reading in bed till hunger drives me out...and really enjoying one of my #secretsantagoespostal books!
#bookandlunch! I got sent a review copy of this romantic fantasy with such a lovely book cover, I haven't had a chance to read it yet but the premise looks interesting. Lunch was this savory crepe that had seafood and cream filling.
