Welcome to Litsy!

Recently bailed on these two books. They were not giving me what I was expecting. I didn‘t want to force myself to read books I‘m not enjoying.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!) Feel free to join in!

A typical romance mystery book, but very good. Nice quick read with some turns and twists. 🪷 March book finally done!

Originally published in #1986 , this one by Krentz does not quite stand the test of time for me. The possessive attitude of Gideon, the male lead, was a bit grating. Romance aside, I liked the premise of the story - anthropological findings and danger at every turn. Themes of list and greed too. #192025 #1986 #52bookclub23 #featuringoneofthesevendeadlysins

Decided to switch up books for a new one I just got. It‘s a little shorter and easier to digest. I‘m a month ahead so I can take my time on this one! 🪷

From water philosophies to murder to spaceships, this #1997 novel by Krentz has quite a lot of quirky elements. I listened to it, and I was not a fan of the voice narration. Plus, the male lead was just creepy - the choice of voice by the narrator did not help. Krentz builds great romantic suspense, and this one did not disappoint in the romance category. I have enjoyed others by her more than this one; just an okay read for me. #192025

Oh dear. This is the first book by Krentz that I didn‘t really like. Granted, it is book 3 in a series, and I have not read the first two, but it‘s way more sci-fi than her other reads, including her Arcane series. The arrogance of the male main character bordered on domineering and controlling, and I really did not Bond well with the female lead. It did serve as a good distraction while doing house chores, though! #19822022 #1989

My final book for 2021 which also got me to my GR goal. This is the third Arcane Society novel. These are quick reads with lots of action. A nice finish to the year.

My first finish for #20in4

Classic #romance novel. Angst, passion, doubt and the power of second chances. Since a wedding and a honeymoon are involved, it made me remember the anxiety and the relief associated with mine. And although the loose ends got tied up really neatly, I still feel like there was a lesson in this story. #bookspin BINGO progress for July. #recentlyread #nospoilers @TheAromaofBooks ❤️🐴

One of the few positives from the pandemic is my greater appreciation for audiobooks…I listened on my commute to work, but now that I have a short commute, I listen doing house chores.

I really enjoyed this one by Krentz and absolutely adore her combination of suspense and romance. Tragedy struck 17 years ago for Irene, and contact from her former BFF forces her to face the past. Krentz is a great storyteller. Great escape listening!
