Welcome to Litsy!

Interesting mystery that tips it‘s hat and pays homage to the best mystery writers through history. It has an unique 4th wall format going on but it was a bit too cute and pretentious for me, it kept pulling me out of the story. Pretty bold for a debut though so I will definitely read more from him. Releases October 24th. #netgalley #ARC #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I had high expectations for this book but it just didn‘t gel for me. Ava Carson & her young son are looking to start over but the world isn‘t kind to black women and the system set up to help is often cruel and crooked. Not an easy read 💔 #ARC #NetGalley

I find memoirs and essays from immigrants and other countries so important and enlightening. Here, Khakpour uses her voice to show how being a refugee and Middle Eastern in a country that has a tumultuous past with both has shaped her. She explores her identity of being Iranian and being American and how she can love and struggle with each at times.

I've had this #ARC for over a year. That's my toxic trait. I take way more books than I could ever hope to finish in a timely manner. Sometimes it seems like I'm ahead but I'm actually so far behind that I have books from a year ago cluttering my kindle.

While this story is entertaining and well written, it is also so way beyond predictable. It made me want the author to speed it along and just finish already.

Read this one sitting & it was an absolute gold mine of information... which honestly was no surprise to me having followed Book Launchers for some time on YouTube. Marketing for nonfiction authors is a completely different beast altogether than fiction. Julie does a wonderful job in this book covering just about everything there is to consider for nonfiction authors trying to set their books up for success.

Will has a lot on her plate, what with her new cheese shop, a friend maybe murdered, an ex implicated, & her former mentor leaving her a treasure hunt to the recipe for his priceless blue cheese.

This was delightful! This story kept me guessing because all the suspects kept making themselves more suspicious. Delicious recipes I can‘t wait to try & a solid, clever ending. I do wish we could have got to know the side characters more. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This is really clever. Women caught in weird scenarios straight out of their favorite book genres.

One Word Review - Enchanting

I would recommend this to those who enjoy fairy tale retellings, this is a perfect winter‘s tale for when the nights are getting darker and the days are getting colder and you need something magical to take you away.

This is a fun conclusion to this series. It is Catriona's story but it also wraps up the other girls' stories. Probably better than if they weren't sort of intertwined.
