Welcome to Litsy!

All my favourite romances are rooted in friendships, and I feel like Avon Gale GETS that. While I do wish we‘d seen more of Vix and Sawyer‘s transition from strangers to pals, the bulk of their friendship/love affair is SO cute, and SO sweet, and SO full of banter that I‘ll overlook it.

Likewise, I got such a kick out of the mechanics of their North American tour by van (as opposed to fancy bus) and the joys (and perils) of following ⬇️

I made sausages purely as a conduit for this fancy German mustard. It‘s got figs in it, friends! Figs!

I‘m now in the homestretch with THE LOVE SONG OF SAWYER BELL. Barring catastrophe, I‘ll finish it before I head off for my evening walk.

Apparently hanging out in cars is my thing now. It was raining pretty hard when I got to the garden centre and I wanted to look at the plants they had outside, so I sat and read my book until the weather shifted.

I‘m way more into the relationship in this one than I was this morning. Sawyer and Vix‘s friendship is super cute now it‘s underway. Plus, they make music and sexy times together! Hurray!

Then I had coffee and a fancy French cookie. I‘m mostly avoiding refined sugar right now, but I made an exception for this because it‘s perishable and my mum brought it all the way from Paris just for meeeeeee.

I like this book so far, but I‘ve got a couple reservations. Most importantly, I feel like Gale‘s TOLD me Vix and Sawyer are now friends instead of letting me see that unfold. Hopefully the bulk of their relationship will make up for that.

Well, look at that. My tea put me in the mood for my very last Queer Beer. I sure hope I can snag another case next year so I can make Queer Beer + queer books a June tradition.

I still haven‘t fully sunk into this book, but it‘s giving me all sorts of FEELS about the fiddle. I always wanted to play, for which we may blame Gus Pike, but I‘ve only had a violin in hand once. Someday, friends. Someday.

I planned to break in my new reading nook with a Queer Beer because I absolutely earned one, but it‘s rainy and cold so I went with poorly-lit tea instead. I‘m hoping to sink into this f/f musical romance tonight!

My inspiring view as I waited at the airport. I finally, finally got to start this book! Hurray!
