Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I read this book on my new tablet that my uncle got me as a thank you gift for taking care of my grandmother. He replaced my kindle that quick working a while back. I actually enjoyed this book a lot. I felt like I could identify with the main character. I rated this book a 4 out of 5 stars!!!

I thought of you Kelly @Mustlovebooks1088 when I saw this today at Barnes and Noble!! 🧡🧡

Not a RomCom like I was expecting but also not DNF worthy so far.

It was disappointing. All the elements for an enjoyable read were there…but it just wasn‘t.

Pros: About books, leaving dead end jobs, making a change, finding yourself and your passion, learning to champion yourself.

Cons: Slow, hard to like or care about anyone, flat characters, predictable situations, and sort of dull.

I will try the author again. Think this was a debut, and some people are slow starters. Hopefully her next book is better.

95 pages in and I‘m bored. Bailing!

#bookspinbingo - this DNF gives me a bingo, so at least something good came out of it!

I‘m looking forward to reading this! I received this from @Aims42 as part of the #recipeswap exchange. Funny story - it‘s the May selection for a reading challenge I‘m participating in! I can‘t wait to try the soup recipes since the PNW spring has been wet & cold. @BennettBookworm

Posting my #BFC2022 goals for the first time in forever because I really want to be accountable this month!! April was tough because I had terrible sciatica and spent a lot of time just managing that. Though I did ok with veggies near month end.
Book goal: finish at least 5 from my big library stack
Health goals: PT every other day, yoga 5x week, walks 3x week… but really just keep MOVING. And keep eating my veggies 😅

Despite the cover, this isn‘t exactly the light-hearted rom-com that I expected. Nora has worked in publishing for five years- but what was once her dream job has turned into a nightmare. Layoffs and budget cuts have resulted in way too much work for less money. Nora takes a risk by taking on a second job- and a relationship with an author becomes more than business. Nora‘s struggles with her career & emotional well-being will resonate with many!

Not exactly the book I thought it would be but it was overall a good book. I thought it would include more romance but it really was mostly about Nora and her life.

TW: suicidal thoughts and depression

thought this would be more of a romance than it was, her struggling with her career and what to do with her life hit a little too close to home currently. wanted more of the love story.
TW: depression, suicidal thoughts

I snagged this from #hoopla when it compared it to Younger and assumed it was a romance. While it has some romance, it's much more about the central character of Nora, who is unhappily employed in her fifth year as an editorial assistant at a less than prestigious publisher. When she gets a pay cut, she has to figure out what comes next.

I started this at lunch today, and I‘m already almost finished. What a charming read! (With moments of serious relatability that keep it from wandering over the line into saccharine-land.) #mustlovebooks #shaunarobinson

Picked up this book on a whim in an airport bookstore and read it while traveling. It was a fun book to start and had a lot of depth as it progressed. I liked the ending being more open-ended than wrapped in a bow. 4⭐️
TW: discussion of suicide

Started reading my impulse book purchase from the airport. The cover and title got me! 📚🧡 It‘s a fun little book so far, we will see where it goes.

I am loving this book. Nora is an interesting and complex character that, even when I don't like her decisions, it's easy to care about. With a lot of sarcasm, heart, and soul searching I find this book really drawing me in.
To be published January 18th, I am definitely buying a copy

The holidays season is here, for some of us is a hard time especially when a piece of our heart is not in this world anymore. I wanted you to know you are not alone, we're in this together. Please stay strong, get a book and find somewhere to hide -I usually do that any time of the year- and have some peace of mind to ease the heartaches. Hug your family & friends, send them your love if you are not able to be together 💚 #LitsyFamily #BookReview

I did it! I reached my 2021 goodreads reading challenge goal. 😁📚

Fun workplace novel that lampoons the publishing industry. Weekend read!! #ARC
