Welcome to Litsy!

I enjoyed all the music industry insiderness and refs in this squeaky-clean romance from one of the creators of The Bangles. Lots of great lyrics and etc. as Easter eggs (even the title refs a fav Beatles song).
The romance part was fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

#HumbleHarvest

Two books with titled with #Birds from my TBR stack. 🐦🐦

Another formulaic romance in which the female protagonist suffers from crippling self-doubt, feeling personally and professionally stuck; she meets a wonderful man, they fall instantly in love and have copious amounts of tremendously satisfying sex without ever really getting to know each other. The past comes back to bite them in the ass; there‘s a contrived breakup, a professional breakthrough, and the inevitable reconciliation. Cute but weak.

Anybody read either of these?

I cannot get into this and the only character I even remotely care about is Pippa, who isn't in it enough to help me. I think I'm going to release this back to the library and move on.

Such a fun book. This author was one of the Bangles. Clearly quite a talented individual. So glad I picked this from #aardvark. I also quite love this cover.

“That‘s my not my kinda book,” I told myself, so I skipped buying it and checked it out at the library. Should have trusted my initial reaction. I won‘t pan it - there‘s an entire audience who will love it. I‘m just not it, despite my decades-long crush on Susanna Hoffs. I hoped for a little more rock n‘ roll on stage and a little less rock n‘ roll in bedrooms. A little more Almost Famous and a little less Music & Lyrics would have been nice.

This will be in every beach bag and carry-on this summer and if it‘s not, it should be! I‘m looking forward to more from Susanna Hoffs, Author!

This was okay. There is a blurb on the cover from Tom Perrotta saying this book is part British rom com ( yes -ish) and part Jane Eyre ( that is a stretch - at one point I really thought it was setting up for that and I was like Holy Crap, and then it was just meh) what it really is is YA with a lot of over thinking angst but with a 33 yr old

My oldest left on Sunday ( he spent the last school year back at home since he only had one uni credit left to do) to work at a new to him summer camp. My youngest went back to Toronto today b/c he‘s taking a course during intercession. Despite having practice with them both out of the house ( and often wanting a moments peace) I am floundering about the house in tears and trying to knock the easier things off my To Do list #readingspotisago

Has tub reading season begun? Let‘s hope so

Finally picked my #aardvark book. I already read the really super popular one (that's already sold out on the third day of the month). It's possible I picked this for the cover. + love the logo placement.

Aardvark pick. This looks cute! Didn‘t choose Christina Lauren‘s newest on BOTM as my add on since I have that one on preorder from LitLove. So, my Aardvark pick fills my romance quota. lol This one shipped right before my BOTM box did. 😃

Jane Start is funny and quirky, and this makes her the perfect contrast in her relationship with Tom. I loved all Hoffs built this relationship from a meet cute on a plane, to the struggles that we all have dealing with new love, past relationships and those dreaded exes, as well as moving forward together. I also liked how Hoffs chronicled the anxieties Jane had about herself and her own talent, taking us on that journey to finding confidence.
