Welcome to Litsy!

I did enjoy some aspects of this one, but it felt a bit too shallow, both in its characterization and use of the historical time period. The 1890s are such a fascinating decade and the book didn't really make use of that! It also had a few details I don't like:
1) a woman *finally* realizing her beauty and potential all because a man tells her she's smart and beautiful
2) the assumption that penetrative sex is painful for all women the first time

This romance novel from the library has two cracks in the spine from the last person who read it. Guess where both of them are? Right at the sexy parts, haha. #Romantsy

Going to try a new-to-me romance author! My hold for her latest book just came in at my library. It features 19th century love advice columns, which sounds amazing. #Romantsy

I‘m all about the binge reads lately, and I am having such a good time. So far, this one has been my favorite Guhrke. Low angst, so sweet. Definitely going on my best of 2018 list.

Been waiting on this one for months!!!💕💕💕#romantsy

I have a bunch of ARCs I want to read this month. I finished About That Kiss by Jill Shalvis, which I enjoyed very much. Now 1/2 way through the Laura Lee Guhrke historical coming out in January. I'm liking the hero a lot. #romantsy #arc
