Welcome to Litsy!

I visited the library today- have to go back I forgot to pick up my hold!!!! But got these buttons and bookmarks.🧡

I always feel bad about dnfing an arc but when you're at 40% and feel no connection to the plot or characters it's like, eh, there are too many good books to read to dwell on this one.

So I didn‘t realize this was a spin off story/series from the Secret Scientists of London series (which i didn‘t finish).

There is reference to things from that series, but I don‘t think it matters if you haven‘t read it.

This is about a female apothecary who gets her formula stolen so she‘s hires a PI to get it back. He‘s a single father and has some pretty strong beliefs that cause friction. But it is a romance, so you can guess what happens

This one was way more explicit than I expected it to be for a book set in the 1800s. I will admit to being reminded that we, as women, have less autonomy over our bodies now (in many states) than we did 200 years ago.

Snowy day means reading day ❤️❤️❤️

Apothecary Diaries, vol 1: love, love, loved it! I‘m a pharmacist and the main character is an apothecary (aka pharmacist). Great story and artwork! Check out the anime too - so good! A definite addition to my library 📚

Noragami, vol 26: omg!!! Only 1 more volume before series end!!!!

D. Gray-Man, vol 28: very slow releases, but still good.

Thank you so much @Mitch for the fabulous birthday gifts. It was sooooooo hard waiting to open the package. 😂 The books are gorgeous and absolutely perfect. The Bodleian notecards are hysterical (those book titles!) and thank you for what is now my new favorite bookmark. I think I‘m going to carry it around and just shove it people‘s faces when they try to talk to me anywhere. 🤣🤣 I‘m so lucky to have you in my life, my friend!

Rejoined BOTM and am excited for this beauty. I love the cover #botm #apothecary
