Welcome to Litsy!

After continuing to rage about the whole presenting woman as only good looking while wearing makeup problem for another 30 or so minutes, I decided that I wasn't really loving this book enough to feel bad not finishing it.

She had the sort of face that looked good even without makeup is the sort of line that makes me strongly consider dnf-ing a book.

This is a lovely festive feelgood story. A sweet, charming and at times steamy romance. Perfect Christmas reading.

#ReadHarder challenge 23: a romance where at least one of the protagonists is over 40

So, I‘ve continued #MyBigGayHolidayTBR this year and it was a lovely romp through a bunch of fantastic queer holiday romances. It definitely made my month and is a nice cozy way to wrap up the year! The Geek Who Saved Christmas 🎄 was very solidly my favorite holiday read of the year. If you‘re still looking for those seasonal feels or if you‘re keeping a list for next year, read this one!

Happy holidays, Littens!

A sweet and steamy holiday romance about neighbors who fall in love over Christmas. Holiday decorating fanatic Gideon has a bit of a crush on his handsome, curmudgeonly neighbor Paul who just so happens to need help making his house festive this year when his brother decides to come for a last minute Christmas visit. Cute and festive and perfect for Christmas.

Finishing up one last Christmas gift with a cute holiday romance and my sad girl who cut her ear just in time for the festivities.

M/m opposites attract trope Christmas-time romance. This was a quick and cute read. Really dug that both leads were in their 40s, not something I've read before. Some very steamy sex scenes 😱

Grumpy/sunshine trope. Neighbors Paul & Gideon have been mostly ignoring their interest in one another for years. Gideon finally convinced Paul to decorate for the holidays & they connect while working on it. The conflict here is all internal due to their own insecurities. It‘s a spicy Hallmark type story & I love that they are in their 40s. Favorite Christmas read so far this season. #romansty #kindleunlimited 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Super cute (and steamy!) holiday m/m romance! Albert is great at writing relatable characters who you can't help but love. Paul is a grump who never decorates but when his brother says he's coming home for Christmas he must enlist his neighbor Gideon to help, the cheerful holiday lights master. They each have past holiday trauma to work through together.
