Welcome to Litsy!

Having discovered Jessica Redland last Christmas and enjoyed her books since, I was keen to jump into this book about Tabby setting up a Cat Cafe, which seems a novel concept. Unfortunately just before opening her partner deserts her and if that isn‘t enough she also is suffering from the debilitating condition of fibromyalgia. There also seem to be people around her that want to stop the cafe opening.

This was SO pretty. At times sweet, funny or heartwrenching.
After being burned by the gods, Angrboda resigns herself to existence alone in the Ironwood until Loki returns her heart. It takes more than the trickster god to bring her from her life of solitude. As her life grows, so does the threat from the gods.
I‘m not knowledgeable on Norse mythology by any stretch, but it was exactly the characterization of Loki that I wanted & expected.

5/5 ⭐️ Team read for #CandyCaneCrushers #wintergames 🍭 I loved it! Christmas market romance with some magic and so many Wisconsin (my home state) references! This really made me miss kringle and wish I had ordered some to be shipped this year. (O & H Danish Bakery is my favorite!)

4.5/5 ⭐️ Fun short stories about a little old lady who murders people. #FoodandLit Sweden 🇸🇪

This was pure fluff and exactly what I needed to get me out of a mini slump. Back in Christmas Falls, the B&B owner falls for an unexpected guest

This isn‘t what you‘d expect from the title, it isn‘t a cosy Christmas love story. Romance does figure in a subliminal way but it is quite a hard hitting story set at Christmas about a group of former college friends snowed in for Christmas. I wouldn‘t say the characters are the most lovable characters you could wish to meet but the story does work and both the story and characters grow on you the more you read.

This was super silly (and spicy) but fun. The little town of Oakville, Illinois is in for a surprise this Christmas when the new guy playing the mall Santa is Hot 🔥 Tom is a simple retail man trying to get through the holiday season but he manages to strike up a friendship with Santa (aka Randall) and soon finds there's more to him underneath the Santa suit 😉 But how can ordinary Tom compete with all of Santa's drooling moms and groupies?

This was my favorite book of the month so far. Morgan is Ali's sister's childhood best friend, whom she also had a massive crush on, and still might. When the two women reconnect on a cancelled flight home for Christmas, they decide to make it from Glasgow to Devon by any means possible, no matter the many setbacks along the way. Or the growing attraction between them. This was the perfect combination of romance, holiday hijinks & emotional growth
