Welcome to Litsy!

While I liked the Obama/Biden books better, this one, featuring Bernie Sanders and an intern named Crash, was pretty fun too. Shaffer went a little overboard and and got a little pedantic with the politics though. The narrator was excellent. #audiowalk. I finished up my nighttime book and then continued with The Maidens.

I can‘t believe this round of #CBBC is over :) I loved reading y‘alls thoughts on this one - I didn‘t realize initially how “political” it would feel. Anyway, thanks again @MommyOfTwo for the lovely package.

I really enjoyed this fun book! It‘s a cozy that‘s perfect for Bernie fans, Democratic Socialists, Liberals, Political junkies, who enjoy cozy‘s.

Escaping the heat to read.

I thought this was going to be really cheesey, but it turned out to be pretty good. An intern, Crash, brings Bernie Sanders home for the annual Maple celebration, and they end up solving a crime, too.

Unpopular opinion, this one didn‘t work for me. It has hilarious scenes but it was too political with a real politician which didn‘t work that combination for me🤷🏽‍♀️ But most people enjoyed it. 2.5/3⭐️

What a perfect, goofy, little late spring read 💕 Fictional Bernie is fantastic, Crash has girlpower enough for 10, and the tone throughout is so fun!

⭐️⭐️
This one lacked all the charm of the Biden / Obama books. Maybe because it was told from the staffer's perspective, I don't know. But the mediocre story wasn't enough to carry this one.

This was just under a pick for me. Too much overt politics, not enough Bernie or cozy feel. The ending has me just intrigued enough to read a second as there‘s some plot line changes. #unpopularopinion

What a fun read! The cover and the title caught my eye, the description drew me in, and the story had me hooked. This was such a fun cozy mystery; funny, witty, unique small town,, kooky characters, and a mystery. The mystery was great too, with plenty of clues and red herrings before a great ending.

Feel the Bern is a sweet hilarious cozy mystery, heavy on the sweet with maple syrup everywhere and a political twist.

A fun cozy set in Vermont with Bernie Sanders as an amateur sleuth! As ridiculous as it sounds, it was so cute and I couldn‘t put it down (it took me less than 24 hours to read it)!

My plans for the evening!!

A worthy successor to the Obama-Biden crown

My first book for #2023 . Super cute little #CozyMystery set in #Vermont. Found it super adorable and glad my husband “insisted” I got this one :) 🍁

Learning about syrup. As a transplant Verontoer - I am not a syrup fan to begin with but... i know ... its a way of life!

Hoping to be able to use this one for my next #CBBC round @Mommamanzi

3 chapters in and already having all the Vermont Feels :)

Won a Goodreads Giveaway and they sent a pin and a “letter” from Bernie too!
It‘s a fun cozy mystery with extra helpings of maple and Vermont (and a side of Cryptids - hello local lake monster). #Arc
