Welcome to Litsy!

This was not your normal fake dating romance. Two childhood best friends agree to fake date for the holiday but quickly realize their feelings are real. The story is more focused on Clara discovering her demisexuality after always believing she was straight, and Evan's struggle to feel accepted because of her autism and past experience with her homophobic parents. I really enjoyed it.

HATED this book. Would‘ve been DNF #1 of 2025 if I hadn‘t been buddy-reading with @Lin3han . Four middle-aged white British men wander into the woods and awaken an old Swedish god, who defends her territory. I was rooting for everyone to die bc they were all terrible for their blatant misogyny, fatphobia, antisemitism, and homophobia.

LOVED this one! So glad boyf got it for me for Jolabokaflod. I‘m honestly a little mad I hadn‘t picked it up before then! After three great books from T Kingfisher, safe to say they‘re a solid new favorite.

Easily my least favorite and honestly? With the downward trend, I may not finish this series. Nina does some HORRIBLE things and is basically given a slap on the wrist, and also the back says Morty is “nonbinary” but is never referred to as they/them, only he/him the ENTIRE book. Granted, they say their pronouns are he/they, but there‘s a whole convo where they explain that they‘re uncomfy being labelled as just a man. 😐

This is a favorite read for the month! Patrick and Quinn are already having issues in their marriage when they accidentally knock out Santa and have to take over the job! I'm normally not big on the marriage-on-the-rocks trope but you see both men's struggles with the pressure of expectations and fall in love with watching them fall back in love with each other. Magical and heartfelt 5✨

This was a fun little spy story about two rival secret agents crashing the same holiday party and finding an opportunity to expand their relationship. I loved the concept and the shorter format worked perfectly for it.

Absolutely adored this book! Such a great locked room mystery with the perfect enemies to lovers romance!

Post holiday mood 😹
I've been balancing chores and reading today but managed to finish two books in progress and watch Love Actually with my guy. Now I just need to get caught up on many reviews from the past week
