Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve noticed with this series that by the time the author gets around to describing the love interest he doesn‘t match my mental image of him. Felix Hartford, who has appeared in the previous 2 books, is made out to be a fop which had me imagining him as a skinny Bertie Wooster type figure. Instead he turns out to be tall and imposing (though he doesn‘t tend to come across like that in character) with broad shoulders and a ‘square-chiselled jaw‘.

I copied the idea from @monalyisha and found an old couple of posts from 2017. Usually I don‘t remember dedications, but I liked this one. It‘s relevant to the story as well. #sundayfunday

Last but not least! Pic 3/3 of my epic used book sale haul. Mostly genre fic and craft books (cross stitch).
A couple romances, a pretty solid score of Bujold and Tanith Lee, a couple fantasy, and a random arc of Charles Yu.
So much fun!

Just absolute catnip! I was utterly charmed by this vintage historical romance. You've got to go in knowing it is old school, but it's such a fun ride! English bride wed to a Scottish laird, every requisite culture clash is there but our heroine is just so tenacious she charms everyone she meets, including the reader.

When the story mentions a song you have never heard and you have to listen to it while reading…

I think I would have enjoyed this fun regency book more if I had read it with my eyeballs. I was not a fan of the narrator who was a tad monotone, but there‘s a good story in there. 3.5⭐️

ONE NIGHT IN BOUKOS is really good, but I‘m limping through it at a glacial pace because I can‘t seem to sit down and actually READ it. Blah. I‘m definitely enjoying it less than I should be. Reading slowly is the worst.

Today I figured I‘d give a big chunk of my afternoon to it, but I‘m dealing with one of those energy-sucking hell colds. I had to NAP. Napping is the other worst. Now I‘m gonna make another push, wrapped in tweed for warmth.
