Welcome to Litsy!

This is cute! Pretty heavy on the OCD and ADHD storylines, which is nice representation. Overall it is a light fairly predictable romance, I really liked the ending.

The 3rd in Sarah Grunder Ruiz‘s series “Love, Lists & Fancy Ships”. It follows Raine, a free-spirited singer-songwriter with ADHD and Jack, a local pub owner whose OCD keeps him from making the changes he's dreamed of for his business. It was refreshing to avoid the usual romance tropes—no unnecessary breakups over miscommunication! Feel-good romance, endearing characters and a fun setting. Works fine as a stand alone. ⭐⭐⭐💫 (3.5/5) ❤️📚

So good! Dark in places but the characters are so earnest and lovable that you root for them that whole way. I leaned a lot about OCD and intrusive thoughts and it made me think about how you never know what others are going through. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Book 56/100 of the year.

Listened to this on a whim and glad I did! It‘s about an American musician traveling Europe, playing music for a living. She lands in a small town in Ireland and everything is stolen. She meets the owner of a pub, who hires her to help revitalize said pub & bring in more customers. The blurb told be she had ADHD, but I was blown away by the realistic exploration of his OCD. I‘m thinking I‘ll read more by the author tbh, as I quite liked this

Tonight, I saw Sarah Grunder Ruiz at my local indie bookstore talking about her latest novel, “Last Call at the Local”.

Opposites attract when a free-spirited American singer-songwriter with ADHD teams up with a charming Irishman to revitalize his family‘s pub in the next heartfelt romance.

It was fun and a great way to start my #bookish new year!

I literally squealed with delight when I saw this book at my local BN! It was put out early as the release date is next Wednesday.

I will start it tonight with these two holiday beers.
