Welcome to Litsy!

First book finished for #Roll100

This one was okay. Almost a pan. I got super bored about halfway through. I ended up skimming the ending. I think I just need to take a break from romances. Or maybe it was just this one. All the sexy bits happen off screen. I liked the hiking and camping scenes. That was fun and a different setting for a romance for me.

#JoyousJanuary - Book 2 finished
#Jumpstart2022

3✨ I didn‘t get into this Newbery Award Winner as I hoped I would. About a young man who lost a lot trying to fight the Roman‘s who took it all from him. He has a lot of hate in his heart as he try‘s to follow the cause to a vow he made to serve the Lord. He meets Jesus and his disciples through his journey. Jesus provides him wisdom that he needs to think about. This is one of my #roll100

5 marriages of well known Victorian writers/intellectuals: Jane Welsh and Thomas Carlyle, Effie Gray and John Ruskin, Harriet Taylor and John Stuart Mill, Catherine Hogarth and Charles Dickens, and George Eliot and George Henry Lewes. I was only familiar with Dickens. Fascinating stuff. Rose looks at how these unions affected careers and legacies and how they were seen in that era compared to our current perceptions of marriage. My 1st #Roll100 ✅

Stealing my own photo for this review…

What a wild ride…a stretch of over 60 arsons in a small Eastern Shore town…a love story…volunteer fire fighters tirelessly out there night after night.

Glad to have read this for my first #Roll100 pick - definitely off to a great start. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Slow start and i began to wonder when the romance was going to happen but it did and quite well actually.#bookspin @TheAromaofBooks #roll100 @PuddleJumper #yearofsmut

I'm always reading many books at once, but here are the 3 I'm most actively reading this weekend! One manga, one audiobook, and one ebook. Each of these are part of my #JoyousJanuary goals (I need to revise my Heart Break Bakery goal because I reached it before the challenge started). The Red Scrolls of Magic is also one of my #Roll100 picks.

@PuddleJumper #roll100
Off my list just finished it , even though I'm still sick , Read chapters each day , and this will be my first big book of 2022 , 930 pages . Now to go and replace it with a new book .

Another series by the awesome Seanan McGuire that doesn't let down. Quite different than Wayward Children series which I love but still a great read: a blend of mystery and fantasy, non-stop action that doesn't let down, great world and character building. A pick!

@PuddleJumper: this is January #49 #Roll100 pick on my list.
@TheAromaOfBooks: I was able to advance in the #PromptMaze with this read.
Thank you both for awesome challenges!
