Welcome to Litsy!

‘Haines is a successful architect in the midst of a divorce, Bruno a mysterious smooth talker with a sadistic proposal..‘

This was really good. I liked how well the characters were written.

Malala is such an inspiring girl, strong in her beliefs from a young age and resilient in the face & aftermath of attack. I learned a lot about Pakistan and the Taliban. It's so eye opening to have a perspective from someone who has lived through it, without our western bias

‘Hazel Trepas has always known she wasn‘t like her siblings. A thirteenth child, promised to one of the gods... -Merrick, the god of death‘

This dark tale was a beautiful retelling of Godfather Death. Fantastic writing. Highly recommend.

Well @Texreader I came close, but didn‘t quite get there. 4 bingos for 80 points in #ChristmasAtoZ. Looking forward to the 2025 challenge.

"Love that overcomes is stronger than love that settles" ?
This is a favorite read for the month! Patrick and Quinn are already having issues in their marriage when they accidentally knock out Santa and have to take over the job! I'm normally not big on the marriage-on-the-rocks trope but you see both men's struggles with the pressure of expectations and fall in love with watching them fall back in love with each other. Magical and heartfelt 5✨

This was a fun little spy story about two rival secret agents crashing the same holiday party and finding an opportunity to expand their relationship. I loved the concept and the shorter format worked perfectly for it.

I usually like Kasie West's YA fare because she writes characters whose problems feel real/regular to me. There's drama, but it's not over the top. Like most of her books, we have a MC who needs to learn to get out of her comfort zone a little, find some balance in her life, and be willing to wrestle some of her inherent prejudices. There's also some great snark and fun characters. An enjoyable read, even if it didn't really bring anything new ⬇
