Welcome to Litsy!

I ❤️ author India Holton's Instagram.

Aletheia! What a fun box to open. I squealed unwrapping each gift. The books are perfect. The grimoire is unbelievably cool. Love love love the salt and pepper shakers although I don‘t want to muck them up for their intended purpose. The mug, the socks, stickers and candy make it all a box of yummy goodness! Thank you so much! 🧡🖤🧡

Thanks for hosting this fun swap, Ashley! @BookwormAHN

Completely impulse buys from HPB today—I mean they are both book 2 in series and I need book 1! Arg!!

Part 2 of my shelf project🤩

I work from home and this is directly next to my desk and sparks a lot of joy during long meetings🥰

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

I adored the first book in this series, and this one is a solid second. I didn‘t enjoy Charlotte‘s and Alex‘s relationship as much as I did Ned‘s and Cecelia‘s, however I still really enjoyed the story and its humor.

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Christmas. In May, I read 2 favorites of the year, the tagged and Hamnet. I‘ll go with this as the best of the month because it‘s funny even during turbulence on an airplane. #12booksof2022 @Andrew65

The humour was too much. It wasn't funny anymore.

More madcap adventures with Jane Austen references this time. Not on theme but excellent for word search points. 4386 points #scarathlon #teammonstermash #witchathon

I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the first book. It took me a long while to warm up to Charlotte, who is, frankly, a crank, but I loved Alex and Charlotte grew on me eventually. This book has a lot more sexy times than book one, and combined with the plot dragging a bit in the middle meant that parts of this book felt a little more slog-y. There were also times that the zany absurdity that was fun in the first book felt a little forced ⬇

If you ignore the books piled to the right, which may or may not be (part of) July's TBR already lurking nearby, I've actually made good windowsill progress!! My #weeklyforecast is to finish the tagged (not pictured) (only a few chapters left), then my only “have to“ book is The Color of Dragons for #LMPBC. After that I'll see how many random draw books I can fit in before that new pile gets added in on Friday!!

@Cinfhen

The #20in4 Readathon starts tomorrow!! Anyone can join, just set your own goals and go for it!!

I'm aiming for 1000pgs over the course of 4 days, and will probably be starting with the tagged book as I should finish my reread of the first book in the series today (it's just as ridiculously fun the second time around). Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 !!!

This might be an #unpopularopinion but I was kind of exhausted by this book. I skimmed the last 20% and found it very repetitive.

I‘ll give the next one a try, but I definitely liked the first book a lot better.

Another book that I saved for vacation. I don‘t know if this series will continue, but I hope it does. I laughed often during this one, between the banter and the ridiculous situations. The story encompasses so many genres—romance, adventure, comedy, fantasy.

what does India put in these books? why are they so good?? all your fave characters back from the first one but this time we have a witch and a pirate who should hate each other but it‘s not just the pickpocketing that‘s preventing them from keeping their hands to themselves. I just love everything about these books and characters. Charlotte is great. Alex is great. Ned and Cecilia are adorable. I will read this series for as long as it goes on

This is true. 😂

This book is the best use of the enemies to lovers trope I've read in years. So much fun and just pure joy. I liked this one even more than the first.

#WeeklyForecast - April is fast approaching, which means a new pile of books to add to the windowsill!! I am going to see how many of these I can knock off this week. The exciting news is that I have completed all of my January challenge books and only have one February challenge book left on the shelf (Ocean of Storms for #22booksin22). The rest are March challenges, series reads, newly published books from the library (like the tagged), plus I⬇️

I absolutely loved this book as much as the first one. I loved that all the lady pirates were back in this book and that our MC Charlotte was just as badass as our first heroine but with more ✨magic✨

I adored this book. It is 2nd in the Dangerous Damsels series. The 1st book was fun and funny, but this one was just lovely and absurd. It's historical romance with a slight paranormal bent. The main characters are witches and pirates who sail flying houses instead of ships. I liked this one more because there was more focus on the romance and I loved the two main characters. I really hope she continues the series. Out 3/15.

December's #BookSpinBingo all set up!

I made my December #BookSpin list. Apparently it's my Rake month. Three books have Rake in the title.

Return to India Holton‘s magical Victorian England full of flying battlehouses and dangerously debonair pirates! This time, meet the pirates‘ mortal enemy—witches. When the British Museum displays a long lost amulet from their shared origins, which is promptly stolen, Irish pirate Alex and prophesied leader of the witches Charlotte are hot on its trail—and each other. A hilarious, madcap, sexy, and fantastical read ensues! Because of the tone… 👇
