Welcome to Litsy!

Elizabeth had some serious issues to work through in this novel, some of which bordered on annoying with how destructive they were. But I thoroughly enjoyed the antics of her knitting group, Nico, and his meddling, but well-meaning traditional, Italian family.

I look to Reid for light, sweet, funny reads, with the occasional sucker punch to the heart. This had all of those things (I actually rubbed my chest one time, gasping).

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Let‘s go with something lighter now. I‘ve been missing Reid, so I‘m excited to dive back into this series! #currentlylistening

I didn't care for the female character and the book bored me

I liked this better than the first book but both main characters are too quirky to be believable. The writing was only so-so but I did like the tension between Nico and Lizzy. I like over-the-top silly in Tessa Dare's novels but silliness in contemporaries are either not well-done or just seem immature to me. For example: Lizzy loves Nico speaking Italian and her panty dance parties.

Also, Lizzy acts like an idiot.

THAT'S NOT HOW MEDICAL RESEARCH ETHICS WORKS

Penny Reid always makes me happy, so I read this when I couldn‘t sleep last night. Now I‘m exhausted and need to take a nap with the kiddos... worth it.

Omg, I fell in love with this book and the characters. Elizabeth grew up believing that her neighbor Nico hated her. Little did she know that is was the exact opposite. I may end up reading the rest of these books because I love the characters that much. It is told from Elizabeth's pov but I actually liked it that way.

I really enjoyed this one! Nico is fantastic. Elizabeth irritated me at times, but I I like her anyway. And, the story is layered, well written, funny, and lovely. I‘m definitely looking forward to the next one!

Audiobooking while coloring! First try, and it‘s wonderful! The sparkly gel pens are fun, but messy! Need to hunt down my color pencils for the next page!

It‘s been a long, hard day and I feel like I‘ve been through a wringer. Glad I brought Penny Reid along to make me laugh.

Just saw this photo and it reminded me of the ladies and their knitting club in the Knitting in the city series by Penny Reid.

5🌟 I really enjoyed this book.. love when a hero speaks another language to heroine.(and the author had translations in the kindle verison!) Chemistry and tension was good, narration was well done. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I 😍Reid's #Winstons but this early novel from her #knittinginthecity series is exasperating. It reads like a Grey's Anatomy fanfic:what happens to whatshername when a Danny-like teen love dies? Spoiler: she refuses to grow up, sleeps with men she hates, and is a dick to her childhood family friend/ first lover, who is,unfathomably, in love with her and insists that they belong together. But as an academic, I find it rich for analysis. #romantsy

Yeah! Knitting while listening to the "Knitting in the City" series.

#audioknitting!!! This #romance novel is addictive, I can't stop listening.

Starting a new project - I only have a trillion other projects on the needles.

#partytime for me - #audioknitting in bed, have never done that before.

Almost 8 hours into the #24in48 #readathon, and I've finished my first book. This will never be my favorite Reid #romantsy. I didn't connect with Elizabeth the way I connected with the heroines of the other books, and there were times when the story dragged. But, it's still a pick because Penny has mad writing skills and I enjoyed the humor and realism. Onto the next book in the series...

My Kindle is stocked for #24in48. Lots of light reading, plus a few heavier choices if I feel the need for something meatier. 😎

Ugh. I have terrible insomnia. I need to sleep because I have to work tomorrow, but my stupid brain won't shut up and instead runs make-believe scenarios of my dog dying the next time I take him to for a dental cleaning. After literally sobbing for half an hour, I gave up on sleep and started a new Penny Reid book. But I need sleep 😴.

Resting and reading after a busy morning!
