Welcome to Litsy!

#two4tuesday The tagged for recommendation. Freestone peaches and raspberries.

This was highly formula driven. broody Damon Salvatore type wants to get his way with downstairs neighbor. They meet, they avoid, they bang. Again. and so on. she falls in love only to discover his betrayal and then he makes grand sweeping gesture. She forgives him. They live happily ever after. Just not my cuppa.

Just a good easy read about loss, love, family and how secrets can complicate things.

Charming! This book was as delightful as the recipe, a very fun read. I adored the sisters, their names, and their personalities. I loved how New York City became almost another character, the setting really worked for me. I didn't care for the repetitive mention that the sisters were from Texas...

Linda is one of my BFFs, but that's not what makes me adore The Glass Kitchen. I loved the thread of deep magic tied to cooking from the moment the novel opens in Texas--right up until the heroine washes up on the island of New York, trying to drown her magic book...Tempest, anyone? #romantsy. #shakespeare #keepers. #womensfiction. #magicrealism. #escape!

This book is very sweet and maybe a little cheesy. Perfect for a gorgeous spring day with nothing to do!

Using a photo of my own kitchen for this review, since black and white pictures from my kindle get a little monotonous. For me, this book was both terrible and entertaining. Cringeworthy writing and character tropes, plot points that would be interesting to explore more but get pushed aside. It's still an enjoyable read, even if I spent 50% of it cringing, and the story is a mix between A City Baker's Guide to Country Living and Garden Spells 2⭐️

Happy Valentine's Day Littens! Here's another book on my #LitsyAtoZ that doesn't have any posts yet and could probably use some love. @kitty_reads seemed lukewarm about whether or not I would like it, so stay tuned!
