Welcome to Litsy!

I loved this book and wish I hadn't let this sit on my bookshelf for so long!

Miranda inherits a Bookshop from her estranged uncle, that includes clues she has to decipher, just like when she was a little kid. I had to suspend disbelief a little, as it seems he left a lot up to chance. But the whimsical nature of it lightened the heartbreak of the story.

And I loved all of the references to Shakespeare and the classics!

A very soft pick for me. Henry has taken the romans tropes and played around with them a bit, but ultimately, it‘s still an enemies-to-lovers story. It‘s well-written, with character development, but apparently I only enjoy romances in December. And I‘m also a bit of a prude ‘cos I don‘t like the spicy bits!

I loved this novel of family, identity, and the power of cake. 😂 Seriously, it‘s a well written story that draws you in and with one exception, makes you love all the characters. I‘m looking forward to my book club‘s discussion. #litsyAtoZ #letterB

Abby has run away from college seeking adventure. Her dad, a paleontologist, has left her out of his own adventures digging up dinosaurs. So when she and private detective learn that dinosaur bones have been found, Abby practically forces Jackaby to investigate. Meanwhile Jackaby has taken on the task of caring for kittens. Sadly, neither the bones nor the kittens are what they appear to be, and neither is the handsome young cop who has caught ⬇️

Book one in the Jackaby series was quite fun so I‘m starting book 2. #litsyatoz #letterB #serieslove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

A fantastic music memoir! The audiobook is fantastic, but now I‘d like a physical copy too, just to see the photos. Diamond and Horovitz tell their story so well, and it‘s very obvious that they dearly love and miss Yauch, and I‘d say this book is a beautiful tribute to him (RIP).

It was a cute quick read :) I enjoyed it :) Initially, I was curious about the kitty's role, but it all tied in! I enjoyed it :)

What an excellent book—a huge shoutout to the power of women over misogyny early last century, mostly set in #Canada but a few important moments in #Boston. The main character was raised to be a midwife. When a male doctor comes to town, he insists the old ways are dangerous and his newfangled ways (including forceps) are safer. There is so much to unpack about this book a short review cannot do it justice. In general, it speaks to the power ⬇️

Loved it! All the warm fuzzy feelings in this one! 🎄
