Welcome to Litsy!

After twelve “completed“ chapters, I have decided to DNF this.

It is a shame that this couldn't engage my interests. Had Irish, Christmas, mix POV, and seemed a sweet read. While I loved the setting, I couldn't connect with any of the characters. And it doesn't feel Christmassy enough!

Terrible of me, that I probably would have found this interesting if one of the characters had been of the supernatural kind or there had been a ghost.

This has a lot of characters, and the reader really has to pay attention because the focus jumps around, yet this is interesting...

Twenty pages read! Seems sweet, yet slow going...with only a sprinkle of Christmas mentioned during the first couple of pages...🎄🧐🤔.

This is a family saga book not a holiday romance. There was a lot going on and a lot of characters. The plots I found interesting didn't get much time and the ones I find boring took up a lot of time

I picked this up because of the holiday-theme and it‘s set in Ireland. I love Ireland, so I started reading this a few weeks ago, then put it aside. I read a few more chapters this morning, but I just can‘t. I‘m 1/3 of the way through and nothing has happened. Too many characters, to many potential plot lines, and nothing is happening. So I‘m calling it. DNF

I had insomnia last night and powered through finishing this book. Honestly, I thought it was pretty boring. I had incorrectly assumed it was a romance, when really it was a cozy story set in a rural Irish town. Way too many characters and POV switches, the plot is pretty nonexistent, and I didn‘t realize until about halfway in that it was part of a series. The only Christmasy part was at the very end. I still don‘t understand the title.

Finally started my Christmas reading! This one is definitely a slow burn of a read, and I admit, there are a few story lines that weren‘t really wrapped up. However, I did like how the book tied a lot of loose ends together at the conclusion. I enjoyed reading about the town of Lissbeg and its cast of characters.

Day 3 of #bookadventcalendar is modeled by the fabulous Ozzie-Man. This is another one on my tbr piles although the odds of me getting through them all this year is slim to none. And Christmas seems to be heavily represented by romances and mysteries, at least in my stacks. @LeahBergen

Dec 2 – a few of my Dec TBR sappy holiday romances ❤️🎄⛄️

1. Green bean casserole to make and to eat.
2. I‘ve only finished one book this month (tagged book), so by default it‘s the best!
3. My home and those who share it with me. Libraries and bookstores. My friends across town and around the world.

1. Yes this is a Christmas book, but it‘s not a CHRISTMAS book, if you get my drift. Anyway, the timeline starts in November (as far as I can tell-it‘s a little ambiguous), and I read it in November, so there you go.
2. A former coworker is in town this week and stopped by to say hello.
3. Margarita and portobello quesadilla at the local Mexican restaurant.
4. One
5. On it!

I‘m recycling my #libraryhaul picture for books I‘m #lookingforwardtoreading this month. Due to poor hold management, I got this earlier than expected. Now that Halloween is in the rear view, I can read a Christmas book, right? #gratefulreads

Flour and I are happy to have some fun mail for once. #catsoflitsy #arc #goodreads

Best way I could start my week!
