Welcome to Litsy!

2 unrelated things in the same post:
1) I received my #littlechristmasswap box from @MrsGagnonreads2024 @bookish_wookish
2) My friend gave me this handmade basket for Christmas. It‘s from a craft vendor we often see at fairs. My coffee table has become to cluttered with books/other papers, so I cleaned it off. Now, the basket can hold my current book, kindle, & some bookmarks/notecards. We‘ll see how long this lasts lol

Fourth book in the Belles of London series.

Stella needs to get out from under her brother's thumb. But how shall this prematurely grey equestrian make a living for herself and her horse. Artist Teddy, bound to a wheelchair, has just found his muse, but does he dare make Stella an offer she should definitely refuse if she wants to protect her reputation?

I liked the representation of a disabled person in Victorian times.⬇️

Squeals of delight!

Boxing Day plans: Unboxing and building the Perseverance Rover, drinking tea, listening to the tagged #audiobook and snacking on oranges. 😉

Photo 2-Can you see why I‘m speechless? Ohh! Those beautiful books. This is too much @Avanders Love them. They are right here with me. Should I sleep with them so I can embrace them the whole night?☺️The candles smell so good and they are so cute! The journal! It has that vintage look. I‘m considering to use it for 2025 using journaling topics @TheBookHippie has recommended. Stunning 😍 @Avanders Thank you for this beautiful thoughtful box⬇️

@MommyOfTwo Thank you so much for the lovely package of goodies! I am looking forward to all these reads! I've already made the first pot of coffee, and it's wonderful ☕️ @Avanders Thank you so much for organizing the #stuffedstockingswap #sss

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

#HistoricalRomance

Cute, but some historical inaccuracies pulled me out of the story. And I'm not talking about historical events here, more like words used before their time, or period inappropriate clothing (e.g.: don't call it 'drawers' and then describe 20th/21st century female underwear).

I enjoyed this one. It had a bit of mystery and suspense as well as steamy romance. I liked that the heroine was an experienced woman of 32 years young. My only quibble is that it took so long for the hookup. Definitely a pick for those waiting on Bridgerton to resume.
