Welcome to Litsy!

Another favorite of the month. This was a very great adaptation of the movie 'Love Actually' with Latinx characters. Each short story is based on one of the romances from the movie and they're all interconnected by the end. I thought the interpretations were familiar enough but each also had their own spin on the stories that honestly made them better than the movie imho. This will be one I return to for sure! 💖

Also from yesterday that I forgot to post, what I got to watch, read, and listen to! #wintergames #snowflakesquad

I've been working my way through this anthology of Latinx holiday romance stories

Final #DoubleSpin of the year is done, and I did manage all 24 #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin picks! Like most anthologies, some stories are better than others. I kinda liked the gimmick of following the couples from Love Actually, and my favorites closely followed the ones I like in the movie (Judy&Jack/Julie&Honey, Jamie&Aurelia/Callie&Angel). Needed better proofreading (especially the first story!). Knowing Spanish helps in some stories.

Well, the cat WAS in my lap…I finally settled down to read, first quiet moments to myself in days. Kiddo dove into a new Lego set, everybody had eaten, I could finally recharge a bit. And then hubby said, “Since she‘s occupied for a while and we‘re not doing anything else, why don‘t you give me a haircut?â€� and I almost cried. Incidentally, I am NOT currently giving him a haircut. Can Christmas stress be over now, please?

1. Even Though I Knew the End by C.L. Polk

2. Yes, I sometimes subscribe to Owlcrate. I also used to be a bibliogolist for Book Riots TBR and while I have too many books I already need to read to subscribe, I think it's a really cool service.

3. I really loved Amor Actually and In a Holidaze

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate and Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas Eve from me and this festive romance anthology!

Nine short stories loosely follow the plot lines of “Love Actually,â€� but all end happily at Gigi‘s Nochebuena party. Written by a great collection of Latinx Romance writers (straight and queer). This was a fantastic and 🔥 🔥 🔥 read, perfect for the holidays!

4/5

A collection of 9 short, steamy romances all leading up to Gigi's Nochebuena party. I really enjoyed each story, but Meet Me Under the Mistletoe by Priscilla Oliveras was my favorite.
