Welcome to Litsy!

This first book in #TheRegencyVowsSeries makes for a quick and entertaining listen! While Violet & James had a love match marriage that was the talk of the ton, their wedded bliss ended after a year by a terrible fight. Since they‘ve been cold, civil & more or less estranged. While the 4-year timeline is hard to swallow when it quickly becomes apparent how much they still love each other, as they scheme their way back together, I enjoyed the ride!

Currently listening to this.. enjoying it. I don't believe I have read any regency books before but have watched Bridgerton. Is all regency books just about courting/marrying off ur daughters... then getting pushed at for when they will make an heir... and finding out who is sleeping with who? Anyways. I like the bickering the main characters have been doing.

P.S. I dont care for the male narrator. I think they are doing that voice for the role.

The basis of this book is a miscommunication trope, which I‘m not the biggest fan of, but I liked the characters and the chemistry between them. I also had just watched pride and prejudice before reading this so I was in the mood for a regency romance.

My friend and I started a “bad romance book club” , but so far, this one isn‘t so bad 😅

Wonderfully charming and funny! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Characters had their childlish game going on with each other and even though these books can sometimes be a bit absurd they still manage to be funny. Well. Let me introduce an exception. This wasn't even funny! There were really interesting secondary characters.

This had many balls and travelling by carriages so there was a historical atmosphere which was a positive thing.

Yes it‘s 81°F today but I have my fall decorations up.

I‘m sorry, I don‘t pan a lot of books, but I did not like this one. I didn‘t like their banter but definitely thought they were perfect for each other.

The writing was super repetitive and could have been 50 pages shorter. Like yes I understand they married young and he was only 28 years old ?

And I‘ve already apologized in advance for my snarky comments.

Sometimes I like to think I‘m clever 🤣

I‘m just trying to entertain myself while reading this book. I apologize in advance to Sharen when it‘s her turn to read this one.

Started this today for #lmpbc group R. So far, I like the writing style.

I've been reading a lot of comics and fanfic this month so this is an interesting change.

Hey @Bianca I totally forgot to let you know that I mailed my #LMPBC book to you on Thursday!!! @Allylu @Laughterhp

This was a really soft pick for me
I loved the concept and some of the secondary characters, but the MCs drove me absolutely batty with their inability to have a conversation like adults. Issues that can be solved by literally ONE conversation lead to making everything else in the story feel contrived. There were definitely some funny moments, but the execution was quite uneven.

Sitting outside #audioknitting. Trying to work two socks at the same time, like I've seen @Lindy do. (afterthought heel)

Not my favorite book but it was interesting reading the banter between Lady Violet and Lord James.

I tried. I really did. A funny rom-com historical romance sounded like just what I wanted but it fell very very flat. The characters were not interesting and I didn't want to stick around long enough to find out what they were fighting about. #scribd #audiobook #historicalromance

#currentlyreading (more like “currently listening to”)

This was light-hearted historical romance that may have been a bit silly but was still fun, in part because of its silliness. An estranged couple go to greater and greater lengths to get revenge on each other when really they just want to make the other realize how much they love each other.

However, if you don't like romance where the issue between the protagonists could be resolved by having a good talk, this might not be for you.

I've had 3 DNFs this month so I'm falling back on something I know I like and doing a reread

Super adorable and hilarious.

If you like nonsense and over blown drama creating funny situations resulting in a happy every after this book would be for you. It‘s more over done than your average romance novel to the point I kind of wanted them to just go ahead and kiss and make up. When they did it was must like the rest of the book dramatic and funny and overall worth the read. I recommend it, 4 stars and a fun book.

Needed to change up the tone a bit. The last book I just read was long and heavy (that's what she said). 😆

Thoroughly enjoyed this story: a married couple taking communication problems to the extreme. Charming and funny.

This book was so much fun and exactly what I needed to read to get me out of my slump. I now need to go eat, since I haven't done that since breakfast and my stomach is upset that I've been ignoring it.

Next up on my Kindle. I wanted something fun.

My only library book online. Starting this now since there will be no fireworks tonight. Happy Fourth of July!

For some reason my Litsy wouldn‘t load for days. Finally had to delete and download the app again. I think I‘m in need of a new phone honestly. Maybe soon.
Anyways, this book is fun. I‘m only a couple chapters in but I really want more historical comedy books, shows, and movies.

I enjoyed this audiobook. I finished the entire thing in almost a day and I feel that this book is best in such a way.

I felt like the author did a great job of staying true to the historical era of the book while also making it readable at the same time. I found the interactions between all of the characters interesting. But some of the plot between MCs was tedious at times. I switched from liking them to not several times. Cute little read.

Funny but took me ages to read

Martha Waters's To Have and to Hoax is a joy. Normally, I'm not a fan of the whole hoaxing trope. I get REALLY impatient with people lying to each other or fooling each other or misunderstanding each other and that ONE thing keeping them apart for the length of the story . . . until the truth is revealed and everything is solved!⠀

Fortunately, this historical romance avoids the more annoying parts of that plotline. ⬇️

Can someone explain to me why all characters in all books aren't written like this?! And by “this“ I mean pure pettiness!

Wasn‘t going to go on an audio walk today but after going to the store for the first time and two weeks I needed to destress. Didn‘t think I would ever be so stressed and have so much anxiety by just leaving my house to go to the store. I love the pictured flower trees that we have around my neighborhood. They always make me happy to see them. Also I love the banter between James and Violet in the tagged book!

So I lost 6.5 hours listening to this but I just can‘t. What started as a great premise becomes two incredibly unlikeable characters who are tormenting each other because THEY DO NOT TALK. It‘s such a lazy premise to me and boy is it dragged out. It‘s just mean and cruel and I‘m done. End rant. #romantsy

Audio cleaning this morning!

Currently reading....

This was a cute and fun historical rom com from #netgalley about a feuding married couple who resort to what is essentially a prank war to get each other's attention back and repair their relationship. I liked the characters, especially the circle of friends surrounding the main couple, and I liked the concept but I think there could have been a better balance between the shenanigans and the deeper relationship work. Out on April 7!
