I tried so hard to draw this out as long as possible, this series has left me with a broken heart, hope, love and closure.
I didn‘t want the story to end. The characters are impossible not to crave, and their love for one another is what dreams are made of.
I cried for Dom, Sean, Cecila, and Tobias- but I laughed and smiled too.
All I can say is, go read it- I don‘t think you‘ll be disappointed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We love rainy days, don‘t we baby?
This is series has taken my heart and thrown it to the wolves.
In some sense it feels like the romance gets repetitive but the story makes up for all of that.
They have made me fall in love with music again, and now I finding myself finding the characters in so many different songs.
Well worth the read!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you enjoyed Sons of Anarchy and a good romance this series is for you.
I‘m hooked, and already dreading the end.
Cecilia discovers her true self, and struggles to come to peace with her demons, while she fights to keep her promise to herself.
Sean is swoon worthy in every way, and Dominic is a chilling force to be reckoned with.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m conflicted. I devoured this book, but that feels *wrong*. The MC and Jake drove me crazy most of the time, but I fell in love with Kaleb right away, and my heart ached for Noah.
If you aren‘t into spice and some taboo stuff this isn‘t the book for you. But if you like some good spice and don‘t have triggers I think it‘s a good, fast read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 stars for me.

#LMPBC is on its way to you!

Lighthearted, funny, intriguing and feel good.
I needed something lighthearted after the few heavy reads and it was exactly what I was looking for.
The buildup is perfect, and I was so happy to go on the roller coaster of emotions with Lucy.
This is one book to movie that I‘m excited to watch.

My husband has been telling me to read this for a year now and I finally did, why did I wait so long?
This book grips you by your heart strings and takes you through life during the Great Depression.
They don‘t teach you these things in History class here in the US, and it‘s astounding.
If you haven‘t read this yet, go grab it- you won‘t regret it.

I wanted to read as fast as possible because it was so good, but I forced myself to take the time reading this one. It was well worth it.
I don‘t want to say much about it because it was a book filled with so much. So I‘ll just say I highlighted 15 quotes, this being one of the most powerful to me.
5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, just wow.
Great book, and a great pick for #lmpbc
Round 1 is done for me, can‘t wait to see the next pick!

#sundayfunday

1. On the couch with a big fluffy blanket, preferably with a fireplace or Christmas tree.

2. Shutting myself off from everything and everybody.

3. Coffee or tea, every once in a while a little snack of chocolate.

@ozma.of.oz

Raw, honest, heart wrenching and lovely.
All I can say is- Kenna is a soul I would love to meet in person somebody, Ledger is the definition of what a man should be, and Roman is the best friend everybody needs.
Colleen Hoover never disappoints, if you haven‘t read one of her books yet go read one now, I haven‘t found a single one I don‘t like.

Slow day at work requires a great book, like all of Hoover‘s books I am hooked from the first page.

While the message is clear, the writing itself is terrible. It felt like the author was trying to bring up so many current happenings that it just made it unlikeable.
⭐️

Sending this one on for #lmpbc tomorrow.
Happy reading everybody!

I read this series a few years back and it got me into reading, it‘s remained one of the few that I still think about.
Can anybody recommend some books similar to this?

Started this one last night for #lmpbc and loving it so far.

Am I right? Am I wrong? Where can I find a therapist like Avery?
This was a great book, I enjoyed the twists and turns and when I thought I had it figured out, I was proven wrong.
The characters are pretty well built, but I was hoping to read about more of the session times. It felt like the author built it around the therapist, but lacked on any of the therapy details.

These are the 4 I‘m thinking of for this round of suspense/mystery/thriller I haven‘t read any of them, but The Cold Inside sounds the most intriguing to me.
What are your thoughts?

Another snowy day here in Michigan, 3 inches in the last 2 hours and more on the way.
But, I love snow- not so much when I‘m stuck at work in it though.
Hoping to curl up on the couch after the kids are in bed with some hot tea and my book. ❄️❄️

I‘m a couple days late for opening my #litsylovevalentinesswap but it‘s been a busy week at work and home.
Thank you so much @BookwormAHN I love all of it! I tried out the coffee this morning and it was really good! Can‘t wait to use my book sleeve, I‘ve been eyeing one for a while, and the cats on it are purrfect 🥰

#lmpbc finished and being sent off tomorrow.

#litsylove #vantineswap
@BookwormAHN your package was shipped today! I am going to email you the tracking number tomorrow, but it is supposed to be there early next week :)

We had our third snow day today, unfortunately I was unlucky and had to go to work the last two days. I‘m loving the beautiful scenery though!

37% of the way through with Little Strangers and hoping to get a good chunk finished tomorrow at work (If it‘s slow enough).

Michigan is getting hit with lots of snow, and we are loving every second. But it‘s throwing off my shipping schedule.
Valentines Swap will be mailed out tomorrow! I received yours yesterday ☺️ @BookwormAHN
Trying to finish my way through the #lmpbc picks for this month, and will hopefully have those shipped Monday at the latest!

Devlin & Falco are back in action- and the relationship is heating up. Together they take on an ex-cop and his entire family. I found it a little slow going compared to the other books in this series, but about 30% of the way through it picked up and I couldn‘t put it down.
Hoping for another book, and impatiently waiting.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 3 of the series. I‘ve been reading it on and off, but hope to finish it this weekend.
I love the relationship between Devlin and Falco.
#weekendreading @Andrew65

I received the first book as an #lmpbc pick and I have to say when I read the back I was like oh I won‘t enjoy this. But then I read it and had to read the rest of the series.
It was a great read and I gave most of the books a 4/5 star rating. The ending to each one was a little too unbelievable, but still good.
I now wake up terrified if somebody comes in my room, I think I see creatures that aren‘t there, and I‘m afraid of scratching noises.

#LMPBC #groupw
This book is being shipped out Monday!
Definitely not one I would grab for on my own, but it was a good one. Excited to see what the next read is.
@MaleficentBookDragon @mklong @Avanders

I feel so spoiled! I love all of it, thank you so much @Kdgordon88 ! I absolutely love all things pens and notebooks and cannot wait to start using this planner/journal for all my book tracking. And the letter opener is so cool! Thank you, again- and happy new year!

Thank you for hosting, @candority ❤️
#bestof2021swap

My mom got me a 6 month gift card for BOTM and this is my first pick. Can‘t wait to test out new authors.

A book I‘ve been dying (pun intended) to read! And the chocolates look so good! Thank you so much @RedxoHearts I love the bookmarks!
Hoping this one can put me out of my reading slump and get ready to jump into the new year.
#jolabokafloo @MaleficentBookDragon

Santa arrived way too late for this momma, and I‘m just now settling down to start my Christmas Eve book- although now it‘s technically Christmas Day.
Looking forward to this third book, and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays! Enjoy your day with family, friends, coworkers whatever it may be. ❤️🎄

For the first time ever, I got the Christmas gifts wrapped before Christmas Eve, and in true holiday tradition- I put on The Santa Clause while wrapping. This is my favorite Christmas movie and I typically watch it 10+ times during the season.
This year has not felt like Christmas though so it‘s my first time watching it, with going back to my old job, and sick kids I‘m ready for a relaxing Christmas Eve filled with movies and peace. #wintergames

@tdrosebud thank you so much for all the wonderful bookmarks and stickers! I am super excited to color the one in, I‘ll have to hide it from my daughter :)
Happy reading and Happy Holidays!
@Bookgoil @rsteve388

Magic Hour is my pick for #1 this year.
Sadly a lot of books I read were just okay, hopefully next year is better.
I‘m in a bit a reading slump right now, I think we just have too much going on with the holidays.
66 out of my 50 goal though is not bad at all.
How‘d you guys do this year?
#goodreads

Packages are shipped and should arrive between December 16th-18th!
I hope everybody enjoys their swaps and has a great holiday season!
@Pogue you may want to open yours when you get it and put the chocolate in the fridge or freezer it is homemade so it will keep it fresh in there, I wrapped your book so you won‘t have to peek on it :)

#JólabókaflóðSwap2021

We have finally been discharged! 6 long stressful and terrifying days, but we are finally home. Just in time for our little girls 7th birthday today.
All swap packages and litsy mail will be sent out on Monday. Thank you everybody for the well wishes!
PS: if you‘re in Michigan, Motts Children‘s Hospital is by far the best place to go. Shoutout to the amazing nurses & doctors everywhere.

#bestof2021swap #litsylovewinterswap and #JolabokaflodSwap I have all the items to be sent out! I‘m hoping to get them all in the mail by Friday and send them priority.
There may be a delay getting them to you- my son is in the hospital battling RSV and we are expected to be here at least another 3 days if not more.
@candority @Kdgordon88 @Pogue @MaleficentBookDragon @tdrosebud @Bookgoil @rsteve388

Heart wrenching, beautiful, number one book of 2021.
A young girl shows up in the town square of Rain Valley. She is quickly known as “wolf girl” but when nobody can figure out who she is, the chief of police calls in a professional. The story takes you on a magical journey and shows you the true meaning on love.
My heart was pulled out and stomped, ripped to shreds, & glued back.

Day 1: Red & Green photo.
We put up our tree last weekend, and I‘ve enjoyed it everyday since. It‘s so soothing to be able to sit on the couch and just have the tree for light.
We were worried our 1 year old would be like a cat and destroy it, but so far he has had zero interest in it whatsoever. #wintergames #teamgamesleighers

PangoBooks is my new favorite app to get cheap used books.
I‘ve been trying to find a good place to sell books for years and have always used eBay or just took them to my local used book store for a $1 credit, but will be using this from now on.
Got all my Christmas shopping ready to go on here.

This year I decided for Christmas I am doing one book for each of my family members.
I got this one for my younger sister as she recently got married to a Norwegian man and loves the folklore tales over there.
Can‘t wait to give everybody theirs. 🎄🎁

Assisted suicide- should this be a legal way to go about ending your life?
This is just one of the many things brought up in “The Mother-In-Law” and personally I believe it should be.
This book had plenty of twists and turns, but by the end I was able to guess the truth of it all.
It was easy to fall in love with Tom and Lucy, and while you wanted to dislike Diana, you couldn‘t help but love her too.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 2 of this series, and while it was good, the first was much better.
You get to know Ava and Mason in this story, and learn of Ava‘s twin sister Jayne. It was a fast paced and easy read- it did have a good twist towards the end which added some depth to the story.
I‘m hoping the third book focuses more on Zander and Emily again.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oof, this book has been on my TBR for a while & I‘m sad that I waited so long to read it.
3 sisters & 3 aunts are the center of everything, but each one has something to hide. When a double murder pops up and the FBI is brought in things get tense around the mansion 5 of them share. Tara has been gone for 2 decades, but will she ever be found?
Fast paced and fully of mystery, this book will have you on the edge of your seat.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@Kdgordon88
#BestOf2021Swap arrived today 🥰
Yours will be shipped out tomorrow morning! Impatiently waiting until the new year.

She wrapped her shaking fingers in the hem of her sweater to avoid damaging any fingerprints as she slid open the rear patio door, following the trail of blood.

#firstlinefridays

Devlin & Falco are back at it, this fast paced legal thriller will have you up into the night trying to finish it.
When Devlin‘s daughter, Tori, becomes the center of an investigation things start to unravel quickly. With Falco as her partner and help from Sadie Cross , they don‘t stand down until all the mysteries are solved.
Many secrets are overturned & families are put back together.
Can‘t wait for the 3rd book in a couple weeks.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy Thanksgiving!
Although we are quarantined at home until tomorrow, and my husband and I still can‘t taste/smell we are making the best of it. Thankful for healthy kids during this time, and the opportunity to spend more time with them.
Hope everybody has a great day🍁

Thanks for the tag! @OriginalCyn620

1. Looking forward to finishing the tagged book, I am hopeful to get more reading done afterwards, but not counting on it.

2.my favorite dish is the stuffing- I could eat just stuffing all day and be as happy as can be.

Grateful for a working stove after 2 months, and cooler weather in Michigan. @ozma.of.oz

1. Colleen Hoover - all her books bring me comfort and heartbreak.
2. Not a gratitude journal, but I do try to journal everyday.
3. Tagged book- it‘s been my favorite book for years, and I don‘t see that ever changing 🥰
