Welcome to Litsy!

Very much a “it's not you, it's me“ situation. I always knew I didn't really want to read this and I apparently still don't. I'm glad it's around for the people who need it.

This was a decent romance but, despite the "The Santa Clause" influence, it isn't very Christmasy. Quinn & Patrick are unfilled at work, in their marriage, & by their familial relationships & the parts of the story that dealt w them learning to communicate- after learning what they each actually want from life- was good. Patrick makes a great Santa and I love this North Pole and the Counsel of Priors but at the same time, this aspect of the story

Finishing The Black Flamingo and hopefully Midnight in Chernobyl this weekend. MC is pretty hefty and I have things to do this weekend that—horrors—don‘t include reading.

A little quiet reading time before a marathon of baking Christmas cookies 🍪 🎄❤️

Reading while my kids celebrate the end of finals.

Thank you to @jenniferw88 for this inspiring list of books and to @monalyisha as always for dedicated and creative matching! 11 here are on our audiobook list in Toronto, which is great. I‘ve included everything for the benefit of others! Sorry, my graphics are as fancy as a lot of others are.

I‘ll write a list of 20 things to know about me tomorrow!

So thrilled to find the tagged book at my library today! Also scored blind date with an ARC as part of their holiday celebration. So pleased today ❤️

I've read a lot about this topic the last few years, so I thought this book wouldn't teach me anything new. Well, I was wrong. It's a a cute little book with great illustrations and Mardell manages to explain complicated things in an understandable way. I love that we get to know a lot of different people sharing their stories with us. It's perfect for Allies who want to know more, for Baby Queers and people who still want to learn more.
