Thank you @Amandajoy for the books and recipes. I am so tempted to try both this weekend. 🤔😊💜 Big thanks to @BennettBookworm for coordinating this swap.

Ophelia and Kyle were a couple that felt real to me. A couple who grew apart and had to learn who each other had become to move forward.

April Book 13/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

This read was like snuggling up next to a fire with a warm blanket on a winter's night. Zapata sets your into a place where you just want to stay and watch things unfold. Rhodes was quiet strength that Aurora didn't realize she was looking for.

April Book 12/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I gravitated to this audiobook because of Laura Graham being the narrator and that became the main highlight of the book for me. I am not sure I would label this a romance. For me it's a dive into grief. Even though the audio was only 6 hours, this one took me a while because it was hard to get invested in. I didn't care for Katy and I am not sure why. Overall I was underwhelmed...sadly.

April Book 11/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

There is something about a good military/post-miltary romance. Always very intense and spicy.

April Book 10/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I know actions speak louder than words but oh boy, some of these letters can make your heart melt.

April Book 9/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

Slow burns are always my jam. Zapata has a way to building a love that takes a bit but you invested every single step. Dallas and Diana story was beautiful to watch unfold.

April Book 8/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

Totally forgot how kind blowing the first two books of this series were. Now I need more of Embry‘s story. I need to know what happens to the trip. They are so intertwined

April Book 7/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I admit to picking up this read to meet a challenge prompt. I enjoyed it. Wanted more.

April Book 6/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

5 ⭐ James does this every time. She throws you on this ride that dangles over the edge of a cliff so high you can't see the bottom. Teases you by letting you think you understand what is happening. Then she pulls that safety net out from under you because you initial guesses weren't anywhere close to what you expected. All of this along with a steamy, push you up against the wall, intense dose of romance.

April Book 5/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
I devoured this book. Naomi and Knox were great. I enjoyed their banter and angst. It was hard to put down to go to work.

April Book 4/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

This was a pick based on the cover alone and a lovely read. I loved how Audrey was so put-a-back by the shiny, perfect romances of the movies. Love is messy.

April Book 3/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I have really enjoyed this series. This little extra was delightful.

April Book 2/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I enjoyed this historical fiction. I am not a huge fan of dual timelines but the characters were intriguing.

April Book 1/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I loved the Dolly Parton narration. My only hang up was that is moved a little too slow for me.

March 15/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

This is was least favorite season on the tv show so far and the book felt the same. I feel like this was the bridge for a plot/location shift.

March Book 14/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I really wanted to love this book. Smart female lead, opposites attract, flirty romcom but something was missing. The pace was a little slow for me.

March Book 13/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I enjoyed a peek into a love so consuming but at times it was hard to follow the connection with the characters.

March Book 12/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

The premise was intriguing but something was amiss. The entire story is given from the inner monologue of the woman but her thoughts are odd. Its hard to piece together what is happening at times.

March Book 11/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I enjoyed the glimpse into what life may have been like as a child when the Challenger was all people could talk about.

March Book 10/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I don't know why I thad a feeling this one would be different. WRONG!! This ride was just as incredible as book one. These stories give another perspective to star-crossed. Lee and Romeo are drawn to each other like a moth to the flame.

March Book 9/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

A pleasant surprise of a read. I enjoyed watching Calvin and Holland's journey collide and blossom.

March Book 8/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

WOW! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I didn't see the end coming. I completely understood the deep, intense love a parent has for their child and how you would love mountains for their safety.

March Book 7/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

The gruff banter between Duchess and Cain was such a treat.

March Book 6/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I enjoyed the dual timeline of two couples trying to navigate life and learning to trust in God.

March Book 5/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

WOW! This gave me all the feels. I felt almost moved to tears then straight to laughter.

March Book 4/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

DNF‘ed - Something is off for me. It feels slow. I may have to give it another try another time.

March Book 3/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I loved how Mich and Gabe has a connection in their youth that they never acted upon. As adults, they could no longer skirt around their attraction. A lot of assumptions had to be waded through to truly understand what the other went through.

March Book 2/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I loved these quick steamy romances that are connected so you can continue to get glimpses of the other couples you have meet.

March Book 1/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

This was an intriguing book two to this series.

February Book 18/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

This was a reread for me. I was just as enchanted buy it as the first time.

February Book 17/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I read it for a book club. It was interesting.

February Book 16/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I enjoyed gaining insight into a person with special needs and the impact that makes on everyone. My heart went out to Ginny who was just trying to navigate a world that for many times didn't make sense.

February Book 15/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

Kaufman just blew me away. If you are a fan of Across the Universe by Beth Revis, you will enjoy this journey with Tarver and Lilac. Tarver is steady. Lilac is a whirlwind. All they have are each other. Just WOW! I loved the twist and turn.

February Book 14/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I have really enjoyed this series so far. Pierce and Kerrigan were great. I loved Kerrigan's tenacity and Pierce's steadiness.

February Book 13/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

Unpopular opinion...I liked this read but didn't love it. I enjoyed Olive and Adam's banter. Something was missing for me.

February Book 12/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

There are no words to describe the feelings rolling around inside me right now. 😲 I will have to come back and write more at another time.

February Book 11/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

A little too political for me. I did enjoy Jamie's character. He seemed to be this huge bundle of energy.

February Book 10/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I never really gave cozy mysteries much thought but Freeman has hooked me in. Francis has such a bright mind like a relative of Sherlock Holmes.

February Book 9/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

This fed my love of the Beatles all the way. It was a little disturbing getting into the mind of the man who took Lennon's life. The insight into the band and their development was awesome!

February Book 8/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

It was very interesting to hear how these ladies worked there way into some amazing professions and their contribution to the space race...mind-blowing. Kathleen Johnson was truly incredible.

February Book 7/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I am not a fan of mystery but really enjoyed this one. I didn't see the culprit coming. It was a pleasant surprise.

February Book 6/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

To found a love so early in life and to reconnect with that beacon was something to be in awe of.

February Book 5/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

This was like a night with girls friends with many laugh out loud moments.

February Book 4/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I will still say the book Jamie is just WOW!!! The reunion of Jamie and Claire was wonderful. Claire still aggravates me but I guess I am suck with her for the other books. lol

February Book 3/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I felt so bad for Chloe with how her family treated her. It was comforting that Drew was there for her.

February Book 2/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

Oooh that‘s some intense romance right there.

February Book 1/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

Roberts hooks me with Persephone and Hades then wow me with Eros and Psyche. WOW! For a person who loves mythology this checks all the boxes for me, family drama, backstabbing, earthquaking love, fierce loyal. I could go on and on. I want more!!!!!

January Book 22/35 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

I really enjoyed this historical fiction but the time jumping bothers me.

January Book 21/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo

A lovely clean romance between childhood friends.

January Book 20/25 #LitsyLove #bookspinbingo
