I can‘t pass them up. Must look even if they don‘t appear to be my type of read. 📚

I‘m looking for to #WinterGames2024!

First time participant, so I‘m hoping to bring my team, #ChristmasChapterChasers headed by @StayCurious , some points next month!

Started this #audiobook for Victorian Book Club discussion in December.

Already I have the songs from the musical Oliver! playing in my head! ☺️

Returned the #audiobooks via #hoopla

This was an enjoyable book! Totally loved the “Beauty and the Beast” vibes.

The romance was heartwarming 💘
Believable characters, liked their flaws, and how they still had hope
A lot of tragedy is experienced by the characters, yet they still live with the pain and seek justice

I‘ll continue the series. I hear book two is the best of them.

OMG this city in the book is just 11 miles away or a half hour car ride away!

Sadly, the novel is now in Tennessee.

I‘ll be starting this book.

It will be my first ever time reading a Nora Roberts book!

My coworker who owns physical copies of all the Nora Roberts books (but not really the JD Robb ones), recommended this one to me.

Do you agree?

I‘m looking forward to reading a book by one of romances most notable authors!

Thank you to all who have served the USA 🇺🇸

What kind of bookmark are you?

Started this #audiobook and got through three hours in my first sitting. Seems very Beauty and the Beast so far. I like it, waiting for some action to start soon.

Happy Halloween, Littens!
🎃🍁👻

This was way more deeply emotional than I first thought this story would be. Had me in tears 😭 at several passages. It‘s a moving story of letting go of the past, being true to yourself, and fully opening up so one can love and be loved 🥰

Very well written and a page turner! 📖

How fun is this at a local library?! 📚
#Pirate 🏴‍☠️ fun!

I took advantage of this deal!

Love it when one of my interests shows up in books. In this case tall ship sailing. The character Charlie used to sail on a windjammer - super cool!

A goal of mine is to set sail on one of those week long cruises and get first hand experience of nautical life. Though, I‘m not sure my motion sickness will allow such fun lol

I started this cute little rom com for this month‘s book club selection.

I participated in the Kellogg reading program by buying cereal and a partner product to get two book credits. These are the books I chose for my 18 month old daughter! ☺️📚

Such a good book in development of the characters and plot! It had its highs and revelations! And its lows and inner turmoil for the main characters. It even opened a lot of questions that I hope the next book in the series will answer.

I listened to the audiobook (49 hours), but sooo worth it! The two narrators do a superb job reading!

Happy Birthday to me! 🎂🎉🎈💐📦

While at the Dollar Tree I found this Jane Austen book! 📕

Over the weekend I was in Chicago and went to the American Writer‘s Museum. It was a nice little museum full of notable American authors!

In the children‘s area they highlighted children authors. Here‘s the Louisa May Alcott panel and Little Women book.

Avast, scalawags!

Here be me crew at the Michigan Renaissance Festival this past weekend! We pillaged and plundered and watched the joust 🐎

Happy Talk Like Ye Pirate Day!!! 🖤🏴‍☠️

I downloaded my free #ebook from #BarnesAndNoble!!!

Started this for the September #LittensLoveRomance two-chapters-a-day readalong with @StayCurious !

Loving the sexual tension and witty banter!

And it‘s great to see that the book characters acknowledge the similarities of Ford Matthews, archeologist, being named after Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones - archeologist!

#WondrousWednesday

1. I would love to get to England and see all these places and things I‘ve read about! And, of course, take a Jane Austen tour 🥰

2. JA‘s Centre in Bath

I gotta say I LOVE the picture for today‘s post with the leaf skirt and the flow of the image 🍂

Started this ebook for September‘s book club pick.

Was not expecting the Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaimen style of writing with its quirkiness and snark, much like Good Omens.

It will be interesting to see what shenanigans ensue.

This held such promise, but it was a disappointment.
The details on the writing were sloppy.
The motivation for Inez, though plausible, was too broad to give her focus.
I did like the romance between Inez and Whit. He was the best character out of this whole book!
The “shocking” revelations were eye rolling semi-disbelieving outcomes.
I got frustrated with the characters. Inez kept making one bad choice after another, never learning a lesson.

A nice novelette of kindness and not allowing one‘s past to dictate their future.

This was a fun Regency romance 💝

I loved the banter between the earls; a great trio of friends!

A bit of a slow romance, not too much action, it was a lot more conversational.

Archie‘s reply and commentary spoke to me, especially with my 16 month old daughter and how she‘s my ballast against the current storm that has affected us. Keep us in your thoughts, and if you pray, say one for us.

I donated a romance basket to my parish‘s festival this year; here it is! 🥰📚❤️

I supported Mount Vernon with a small donation, so I could receive this book!

It arrived on BOOK LOVERS DAY! 📚 (August 9)

Current book club selection for August!

Crazy that I had to get the hardcover edition from my library, because there were too many holds on the ebook and audiobook on Libby! I would never have gotten it to read before discussion time at the end of the month.

This book had me talking aloud as I pieced together the clues to try and see if George Talbots really did disappear or not. And what was Lady Audley hiding, what secret(s) was she keeping?!

Book discussion for this on on Tuesday, 8/6; can‘t wait to hear what the others thought of this one!

I thoroughly enjoy it! Well written, fast paced. I didn‘t mind listening for hours at a time!

Saw this play at the park this afternoon!

An amazing performance to be sure: clear dialogue, we‘ll acted, the fool had a good singing voice, facial expressions emotive, and the innuendo was really played into.

And it doesn‘t hurt that it was pirate edition! 🏴‍☠️

#ShakespeareInThePark

I shared the table with @CKBrooke and here are her books! She made sure to have her American Pirate duology there! 🏴‍☠️😁

I was one of over 70 authors to sell books at SterlingFest‘s Local Author Book Sale and Signing today! Here‘s my setup.

Sales were pretty good, but what made my day was the Book Clubbers were there to keep me company! ☺️

#PirateRomance #Anthologies #TallShip #Bookmarks

Watched the Paris 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony this afternoon. They did a whole segment on literacy and were in the Paris Library 📚 #books

This is a request to the UK/GB/England Littens who would have access to the original English version, where the story takes place in England.

My friend @CKBrooke really wants to read them in their original version, meaning not the USA edition which changed location and some other details.

We‘re willing to pay for the UK editions and shipping.

Please, comment if you‘d be able to find and ship these books. Thanks a bunch!
