Welcome to Litsy!

Hello, and welcome to team #MistletoeManiacs! If you‘ve been tagged in this post, you‘re on my team. For those of you who are new here, my name is Cassandra and I will be your #WinterGames team captain. I am so excited to be reading with you this holiday season. With the #WinterGames fun only a few weeks away, I‘d like to discuss some event details in the comments below. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask down below as well! ☺️🎄

I had books 3 & 4 on my list of books to finish in 2020 because I thought the series stopped there, so imagine my surprise when a 5th book showed up in Hoopla! More adventures of DI Archie LeBlanc, a badger, in this anthropomorphic alt-history with a few steampunk tendencies. Humans are looked down on, even called doughfaces. 🤣 I love his assistant Roderick Ratzi. I'm amused when the face & hands are their designated animal, but their bodies⬇️

My final update (late again🤦🏻‍♀️) for #ProgressItNovember #ProgressItDecember #CrushTheRush #ReadYourWay & the beginning of my #ShutdownReadathon

13 Audiobooks
2 Physical books
9 ebooks

Of the three books in the Men At Work based around holidays, this was second best. If you're looking for something more focused on Hanukkah (but lightly) this fits the bill. Ian is Flash's boss and they hooked up six months ago. Ian is a goody-two-shoes wealthy son of a Senator. Veronica is a lady welder, hence the Flash nickname. This book was just as spicy as the previous two but there was some added light kink in this, too.

Another one I finished before the ball dropped. This has been on my list for forever and I'm glad I got to it finally. It was good. Probably something I would have been more likely to love a year or two ago but still very enjoyable. Think I might even start the TV series!

Read before the end of the #WinterGames so might as well post before I total my points.

So much going on in this book. I mean SO much it was hard to keep track at times. The ending wasn't exactly what I wanted it to be but it was just how it should have ended.

I'm glad to be finished with the series. This very well could be an unpopular opinion, but overall the series dragged and the descriptive language meant to evoke whimsy & wonder grated my nerves. Finale has less of the weird similes, but a few still made it in. This is another book where the Dragna sisters are in a game, or aren't they? Don't believe anything, except this one time, numerous times. It felt like there were too many characters ⬇️

I meant to post this one last night, but I fell asleep before I got around to it. This was a great end to 2020. I loved all 3 of these books. This was second only to My Lady Jane by a smidge. I loved the characters, loved the story. The authors have really hit on a good little formula for these books.
