Welcome to Litsy!

Thanks to #netgalley and #thomasnelson for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. Omg this book was just perfection for me. Heartwarming, funny, with some poignant touching moments, and very loveable characters. Once I started reading it was hard to put this one down, it was one of those books, you never want to end. I loved the character development Isadora goes through. This was a hug in a book, a perfect feel good read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This author has such a way with bringing her characters to life. This is my second book from her, and that is a main takeaway from both. I can let a lot of things slide in a book...a plot that‘s mediocre, pacing that‘s off a bit...but if a book doesn‘t contain characters that I can visualize, walk beside or become invested in, it just won‘t work for me. This book is about two women in different phases of their lives. Lily is a 28 yo whose 🔻

Up next is my second book by an author (a fellow Alabamian) that I discovered with last year‘s “Glory Road” (a 5⭐️ read for me). I am looking forward to seeing if this one gives me all the feels that “Glory Road” did. 😊🤞

My first by this author, it was a bit confusing in the beginning. It‘s a story written in first-person revolving around the life (past and present) of a priest/government agent/best-selling fiction writer. Murph has dedicated his life to finding lost souls, more specifically those taken in human sex trafficking while also struggling with his own personal loss. While it contains some exquisite prose, it can also get a bit convoluted, switching ⬇️⬇️

I really enjoyed this sweet Christian romance because it wasn‘t just “fluff” but featured 3D characters who were flawed and afraid but grew and learned to trust as the story progressed. I also loved the imagery (from an Australian author) of the workings of a dairy farm in the Outback. This is really TWO love stories, both fleshed out nicely...Kim and Sam and Jules (Sam‘s sister) and Mick. Loved the humor as well. 4/5⭐️ #NetGalley #ThomasNelson

Up next, another sweet romance from #ThomasNelson coming out late January. Love that title (and the cover too)! 🧡💛🧡💛 Should be fun. 🤞🤞🤞

Up next, a “sweet Regency romance” by an author that I‘ve read and enjoyed in the past. 😊
Out 1/7

I enjoyed this sweet, heartwarming first book in series centering around a trio of siblings who tragically lose both parents and step up to open an inn in NC that was their parent‘s dream. This is Molly‘s love story but also includes a second love story dating back to 1962. As Molly and Adam work together to locate the intended recipient of a lost letter discovered at the inn (previously post office), they slowly begin to lower their defenses ⬇️

Next up is a small town Christian romance just out last month. #coverlove 💙

Turned in my summer reading program sheet for a mug & 2 coupons @ Baker Book House. Picked up this book with $10 in gift certificates that I earned last weekend with the help of a friend. #BookmarkSwap mail courtesy of @jessinikkip & @EH2018 #BecomingMrsLewis #PattiCallahan #ThomasNelson
