Welcome to Litsy!

Liked the two and the brother dynamic, just wish the character personalities and their predicaments were maybe more fleshed out?

Which is better - early morning or late night reading?
In my house, I tend to prefer early morning while it‘s quiet out.

Romance set in New Orleans involving a magic act, poker, and a girl with nothing.

This was a fun, fast read. Beatrice is adorable, and Huxley is vulnerable, but very likable. I enjoyed seeing their relationship form, and learning more about the scars, both seen and unseen, that they needed to accept and overcome to be together. The supporting characters were great too. Definitely a romantic comedy I would recommend to friends!

My to-do list and my laundry to fold. But I‘m skipping down to the bottom of the list to “read and drink coffee” first. I‘m already partway thru the bottom 3 of these, but I might be in the mood for some funny contemporary romance a la the tagged book or the one under it... Either way, not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning. ❤️

I picked this up randomly from Audible Escape. It was just an ok contemporary romance about magicians. (This is not fantasy, but has characters who are illusionists) The best I can say it was fine and the narration was fine. #romantsy

Coffee break.

I painted/oiled a bunch of wooden boards for my bathroom while listening to the tagged #audiobook.

A romance set in a magician's theatre in New Orleans. Quite like it.

This book just didn't work.. It lacked all of the, well, magic that one would expect in a book about New Orleans and Magicians. It had a lot of potential but just fell flat for me. The characters were described as pretty over the top but the authors writing just couldn't breathe that life into them. And the climax scene at the end with the bee...well I'm not sure what the author was thinking with that one.

I should be working to get ahead on this week‘s homework, but instead, I‘m relaxing with this magical romance. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #n #30junebooks
