Welcome to Litsy!

I had really enjoyed John Eyre by the same author, and when this was offered as a freebie I snapped it up.

I hated it. Loathed it. I rolled my eyes at least once a chapter, and I only slogged through to the end to see if the karma bit those characters I hated and, spoiler, it didn't.

This was a sweet romance and short so I was able to read it in a couple of hours last night. I liked it. I'll have to look into more books by this author. #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers #NewYearSpecial @StayCurious @Andrew65

Started this earlier and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm about halfway through with it, but I need to put it aside and do some cooking for tomorrow. It's a perfect, cozy read for this chilly, rainy Christmas Eve.

#BookReport This week I overloaded on holiday books and I think I am done. All were ok reads but not outstanding. I am still reading the Winterson one story a day. It a great collection and I enjoy her reflections and recipes between each story. I‘ve made no progress on buddy reads this week, I couldn‘t get into the Allende and have no clue what‘s next but have a week off work and hope to have my nose in a book as much as possible.

Looks a good read.

I found this holiday historical romance sweet & endearing. Although it takes place in the 1860s, it has an Austen-ish vibe in both characters & story & while predictable, that works here.

It‘s also a quick read & a bonanza for the #WinterGames2021 #WGWordSearch with 217 words (bless Kindle search) so 2170 points, plus 25 for a holiday read + 1 so 2,196 (+ readathon points of course) for the #TeamGameSleighers 🤗

I‘ll list the readathons below

I love this cover and the Christmas atmosphere in this novella. Sophie and Ned‘s slightly second chance romance is so sweet and charming and I gobbled this up.

This is my #Doublespin for December.

I loved the setting for this book. The story is set at Christmas and is about a wealthy businessman who sees a young woman of the noble class and is instantly drawn to her. At this time it is very difficult to court, much less wed, outside of your class. The Victorian rules are strict and courtship is not easy. This makes for a great story and I loved the spark between them and how they worked at find their footing with each other. 4.5⭐
