Welcome to Litsy!

A good Norse inspired saga. I feel like it could have been a bit shorter (did we need every character‘s thoughts at each scene?) it was good and read pretty quick for the length. Jael is a badass, annoying characters develop, & the side characters grow on you.

Jael is stuck in an arranged marriage to drunken buffoon Eadmund in order to forge an alliance between their lands. Lost of sword swinging &secret alliances ensue.

Moving onto my next book for #ChristmasCozy @Peanutnine

Phillipa Ashley doesn‘t usually disappoint at this time of year.

First book finished for #ChristmasCozy. @Peanutnine

Sarah Morgan does it again with this book. A quite inauspicious start, but you soon learn to love the main character, and feel sorry for her earlier life. This book had all the feels for Christmas and a few 😭 moments. I do love her books and this was right up there. Plenty of romance and new family situations. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

This is one long battle sequence, hence the name. I found it very boring to read and ended up skimming most of the book.

Originally, Peace Talks and Battle Ground were one book. I would have preferred that. Cut a few bits out and make the narrative tighter and it would have worked. On its own, Battle Ground is a slog.

A simple cozy with a hallmark feel to it. Set in an Italian village so Italian Christmas foods, traditions, festivals lend a festive feel to the read. #christmascozy #kindleunlimited

A quick, enjoyable read set in a well-appointed country manor during —when else?— Christmas. #ChristmasCozy #CozyMystery

A quick holiday read. The novella is part of the Maine Clambake Series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. Holiday feels in October!

Love these characters!

And now look at you.‘ ‘You‘ve led me astray,‘ I said. ‘You and your fancy, society ways.‘ ‘I‘m a corrupting influence and no mistake.‘ ‘You‘re an absolute shocker.‘ #christmascozy 🎄
