Welcome to Litsy!

A good Norse inspired saga. I feel like it could have been a bit shorter (did we need every character‘s thoughts at each scene?) it was good and read pretty quick for the length. Jael is a badass, annoying characters develop, & the side characters grow on you.

Jael is stuck in an arranged marriage to drunken buffoon Eadmund in order to forge an alliance between their lands. Lost of sword swinging &secret alliances ensue.

Book 8 read this month. Short novella (96 pages). Two time lines: past, Ashley Smith, an American student, her experiences when was invited by a college “friend” Emma Chapman‘s, to spend Christmas at her house. There Ashley will fall in love and will know about a crime recently committed in the area. Present time, Ashley diary is read by someone. How these 2 time lines are connected?
I really liked the twists that occurred here. ⬇️

Book 7 read this month. Unpopular opinion. There were parts I really liked in this story, friendship and the relationship between Nicholas and Kris. The romance was cute but I think Nicholas was too dramatic in some parts. Didn‘t like much the plot. Maybe I was expecting too much from this novel. Didn‘t like much as I expected. But maybe I will try book 2?🤷🏽‍♀️2.5/3⭐️

Book 6 read on December. What was this?? 😳I watched the movie, the old one, long time ago but this is the first time I read the book. As always Mr. King described so well the characters and the atmosphere. It was like watching everything, so dysfunctional, pathological, macabre, horrid. Do you think there are fans like that out there?🤔🫣😟

Love this old edition. 4⭐️

Book 5 read this month. I really enjoyed this rom-com mystery. I didn‘t expect to like it and not with that retro cover☺️But it has mystery, romance, and it‘s funny. This was the most perfect rom-com crime mystery of the year😂🎄Maybe my Grinch heart 💚 felt something☺️ 3.8⭐️

Molly is your average 15-year-old, wanting to join a band, live under the radar at school, & being totally embarrassed by her parents being 'The Rocking Stockings' a Christmas band. Back when Molly was just a small child & her parents were known as the 'Brussel Shouts', they made a Christmas record called 'Love Your Elf' & Molly starred as 'Little Elf Girl'. A fact Molly has been trying to hide ever since. (continued)

Book 4 read during month of December and 3rd book in the #Dream Harbors series. A new character but story is developed in the same setting which means you will see characters from books one and two. From the three books, I enjoyed this story more than the previous books. XcccvIt was funny even though I still think that spicy scenes could be cheesy. I love these covers 3⭐️

I didn‘t know this was a Christian fiction book which is not my thing.😳I just loved the cover🤷🏽‍♀️There are four short stories were as always I liked some of them (2) more than others. All of them related with holiday. However, this book has strong religious content for my taste so nothing wrong with it but I didn‘t like it as much as you can imagine. But I think some persons could find it okay or good. It‘s just that it is not my taste 3⭐️

Last book in this trilogy. I really enjoyed it and I will these characters. It‘s a historical fiction/cozy mystery with interesting characters and even Arthur Conan Doyle is amongst those characters. 3.8⭐️

Read for #NonFictionNovember @bookwormjillk #youtubers @BrittaBihler @abookolive but I finished it on December.
This is like a memoir. I was fascinated on information about women who decided to stay single on those times where that decision was not well accepted. So well documented and my admiration for that big step👏These history facts were explained by the author to point out why she decided to stay single⬇️
