@CBee

Came across this in A FATAL GRACE by Louise Penny. Definitely something we don't experience in Phoenix, AZ!

CBee Perfect! I‘m actually on #6 in the series! Still cold and icy 😂 1w

dabbe @CBee 🤩😂🤗 1w

CSeydel I once used this word in a history paper in high school. My teacher took points off because he didn‘t know what it meant. One of the worst teachers I have ever had (and not just because of that). 1w

dabbe @CSeydel Translation from teacher: How dare you profess to know a word that I don't? You must have made it up or looked it up in the dictionary! #oy 🙄😂🤗 1w

Start Spinning | Maggie Casey

January‘s #bookspin is a category - The Storygraph‘s Genre Challenge and I‘m choosing Phoebe and Her Unicorn as my selection for prompt #6: A Graphic Novel by a Woman or Nonbinary Person. #Doublespin is The Songbird and the Heart of Stone. I‘ve been on the fence about starting this one because the next book isn‘t out yet and I KNOW I will want it as soon as I‘m done with this one. Bingo board to come later. 🤩

The Christmas Guest | Peter Swanson

pick

Book 8 read this month. Short novella (96 pages). Two time lines: past, Ashley Smith, an American student, her experiences when was invited by a college “friend” Emma Chapman‘s, to spend Christmas at her house. There Ashley will fall in love and will know about a crime recently committed in the area. Present time, Ashley diary is read by someone. How these 2 time lines are connected?
I really liked the twists that occurred here. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) That ending remind me at some point The Kind Worth Killing but the conclusion is for those who liked Behind Her Eyes which I didn‘t like much. So I have mixed feelings with this story but I liked the way it was developed. 3/3.5⭐️ 3w

The Nightmare Before Kissmas | Sara Raasch

so-so

Book 7 read this month. Unpopular opinion. There were parts I really liked in this story, friendship and the relationship between Nicholas and Kris. The romance was cute but I think Nicholas was too dramatic in some parts. Didn‘t like much the plot. Maybe I was expecting too much from this novel. Didn‘t like much as I expected. But maybe I will try book 2?🤷🏽‍♀️2.5/3⭐️

BookishMadHatter I'm reading this right not and am a little over half done. I find myself a little bored, like maybe the plot it trying too hard or there's a little too much filler dragging things out but at the same time I don't necessarily want to dnf... it's strange 3w

BarkingMadRead I liked the story but I hated that Santa was such an asshole. It hurt my heart 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w

Gissy @BarkingMadRead You are right, maybe in the second book the image change for something positive 🤞 3w

Misery | Stephen King

pick

Book 6 read on December. What was this?? 😳I watched the movie, the old one, long time ago but this is the first time I read the book. As always Mr. King described so well the characters and the atmosphere. It was like watching everything, so dysfunctional, pathological, macabre, horrid. Do you think there are fans like that out there?🤔🫣😟

Love this old edition. 4⭐️

The Christmas Tree Farm | Laurie Gilmore

pick

Book 4 read during month of December and 3rd book in the #Dream Harbors series. A new character but story is developed in the same setting which means you will see characters from books one and two. From the three books, I enjoyed this story more than the previous books. XcccvIt was funny even though I still think that spicy scenes could be cheesy. I love these covers 3⭐️

Five and Dime Christmas: Four Historical Novellas | Susanne Dietze, Cynthia Hickey, Patty Smith Hall, Christina Lorenzen

so-so

I didn‘t know this was a Christian fiction book which is not my thing.😳I just loved the cover🤷🏽‍♀️There are four short stories were as always I liked some of them (2) more than others. All of them related with holiday. However, this book has strong religious content for my taste so nothing wrong with it but I didn‘t like it as much as you can imagine. But I think some persons could find it okay or good. It‘s just that it is not my taste 3⭐️
