Welcome to Litsy!

This was a really interesting and at times funny look at the various monarchs to rule. Each one has a section about them. Some longer than others of course. It does take a bit of following as many of the names are similar. I liked the drawings dotted through the book and the family trees which helped make sense of family lines. I did find King George 6's reign a tough and at at times sad read due to the war. #Netgalley 3*

A mystery author‘s book signing is upended when the author mysteriously collapses. Lana puts her investigative skills to work when it turns out the author was murdered.

I love the settings for this series. The community is so lovely & works together so well. & the friendships Lana has are so fun. & while the mystery was predictable, all the suspects were set up well. Was less of a fan of Adam in this 1, but that might just be me.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

5/5

Sameera needs to save her career until she meets Tom, a cute chef with a successful business man for a best friend. He'll introduce Sameera if she'll pretend to date him to help his cooking videos get more views. It's a perfect plan, until their families find out and decide to celebrate a joint Christmas in Alaska, a first for Sameera's Muslim family.

I thought this was the perfect holiday rom-com.

Hera can't trust Zeus, but her attraction to her husband is as strong as her hatred of him even as the city falls around them.

I loved the interludes from Hermes's perspective. It added a lot more understanding of her perspective, and I feel much more excited to see how the series will conclude with her story in Shattered Gods. Also, the acknowledgements left me stressed about what's going to happen in Shattered Gods.
