I often become irritated with Nick Santiago's immature character, yet I also can't help but find it hilarious when he seems like the only responsible adult...😂📚💝.

Thank you @BookmarkTavern for creating this fun play-card 🫂🙏 hope you like the qoute, and that your difficulties are soon in your past 💝.

Fantasy is my main go-to comfort read.

The Spellshop and Winterwood we're absolutely wonderful (slow going on Winterwood but I loved it).

If you enjoy wacky, I always enjoy, The RileyThorn Mysteries.

BookmarkTavern I loved The Spellshop! And I was just gifted Winterwood, so I think I‘ll move that up my TBR! Thanks for posting! 3mo
AnnCrystal @JosueAngel 🤔👍📚💝. Those books are fun...have you seen the movie? Creepy. 3mo
AnnCrystal @BookmarkTavern 👏☺️ how wonderful that you were gifted Winterwood. It's a magical story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 📚💝. 3mo
JosueAngel @AnnCrystal I have! I think it‘s pretty good. My expectations were low though. 3mo
AnnCrystal @JosueAngel it was interesting, but not on my list of favorites.

📚🎬💝.

I'm enjoying that the character, Weber is more weaved into this second book...he is the police detective that Riley is consulting for.

Murtagh: The World of Eragon | Christopher Paolini

2025 Litsy book Challenges I've joined 📚🥳.

Thank you @TheSpineView &
@Andrew65 and @Amiable for hosting these Challenges 📚💝📚.

👇

AnnCrystal For SeriesLove2025, I'm excited to continue the RileyThorn Mysteries along with a seemingly endless-list of other series (some on my bookshelf, some not) that would likely take me until 2035 to complete 😂...🤔📚🥳.

AnnCrystal The tagged works for either challenge, since Murtagh is book five (?) in a series. It is the only book I have in this series, yet I've read that it can be a standalone...hope.

Been really excited to begin this read, yet I just recently realized how many pages...705! I was considering stashing this with some other big books to read another time when I saw the #ChunksterChallenge! Seemed like a “read now“ sign 😂.

AnnCrystal I will begin this challenge with Murtagh, and continue with a new Chunkster once I've finished...one Chunkster at a time 😂📚💝.

Amiable One chunkster at a time is a fabulous strategy! 👍🏼👍🏼 4mo
AnnCrystal @Amiable too excited 💕📚🥳💝. 4mo
Amiable @AnnCrystal The secret with chunksters is to just keep reading. Even if it‘s only few pages at a time. It‘s the forward momentum that propels you to the finish. I find that if I don‘t pick it up every day, it‘s easier to not pick it up at all. 4mo
TheSpineView So glad to have you! 4mo
AnnCrystal Thank You @Amiable, that is absolutely true 👏📚📖💖. 4mo
AnnCrystal Thank You @TheSpineView 🎉📚🥳💖. 4mo
Andrew65 That‘s your reading for the next 10 years sorted. 😂 I look forward to seeing your progress this year and over the other 9 years. 4mo
AnnCrystal Thanks @Andrew65 👏😂🥳👍📚💫. 4mo

Thank you @TheSpineView for creating this fun play-card and for the tag 💕🐎📚💝.

1- went back and forth, considering if I should highlight daily or seasonal 🤔...🧑‍🎄I like making a no-eggnog, which is just sweetened and spiced non-dairy milk. I drink it while reading beside the Christmas tree while C'mas jingles play 🥛🎄🎶📚💝.

👇

AnnCrystal 2- in the tagged book, MC Riley Thorn goes with the flow in her own quirky and clever way when encountering crazy situations. Love, love this read 📚💝💝💝.

Mated for Christmas | Terry Spear
post image

There is one day remaining of #20in4 by @Andrew65 and I am happy that I have been able to stay on track with my personal goals for this readathon: I went with twenty pages into four of my current reads a day 📚🥳.

Did miss a day with the, Mated For Christmas book...which is peculiar because it is my favorite of the Christmas books. Caught up with this read today.

👇

AnnCrystal I'm still unsure about Mistleoe Matchmaker. It has taught me to be more careful when selecting future Christmas reads (I will be sure the storylines have more ingredients that interest me along with being Christmas themed).

Thanks @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card and Thank You 💕🌺💝 & @TheSpineView 💕🐎💝 for the tags 😎👍💝.

1- My Christmas artwork featuring three of my fur/feather babies. It was such a joy working on this piece. 🎨🖌️🦜🐕🦜🪶🐾💝.

2- Began reading two books, The Spellshop and the second book in the Riley Thorn Mysteries...and loving both! 📚💝.

3- Radio and Tv have both begun playing/showing Christmas 🎶🎬💝

👇

AnnCrystal 4- Discovered the TV series, The Marlow Murder Club, and learned that the show is based on a book 📚💫🎬💝. Love that the main character and supporting characters are mainly women.

5- it is still Native American Heritage Month 🥳💝.

DogMomIrene I noticed the Home Alone movies featured prominently on the Disney+ Home Screen. Husband has never seen the original, so we may watch that one this week. 5mo
mcctrish I read The Marlow Murder club and I‘m so excited to see the show 5mo
AnnCrystal @TheSpineView ❣️🥳👍💝. 5mo
AnnCrystal @DogMomIrene 🎬👏😎👍💝...Haven't watched Home Alone in years! 🤩 Have fun! 5mo
AnnCrystal @mcctrish Are the books graphic? I don't mind jumping over a few scenes yet try to stay away from the really gory.

The TV show is truly engaging, it has the mysterious/funny/serious all balanced nicely. The 2024 Show, The Marlow Murder Club is from BBC. Four episodes in season 1. Was able to watch it thanks to PBS.

Cast
Samantha Bond as Judith Potts,
Jo Martin as Suzie Harris,
Cara Horgan as Becks Starling, and
Natalie Dew as DS Tanika Malik

AnnCrystal @mcctrish

...We still have one episode to watch...

😉📚🎬💝.

mcctrish I‘m didn‘t find them graphic, I‘m trying to remember ( so many books since then) I knew as soon as I finished I wanted another and I trusted no one during my reading 5mo
AnnCrystal Thanks 📚😎👍 @mcctrish . Trusted no one 🤔🧐 Intriguing! Murder mysteries have the habit of suggesting that...it takes a really good story to make us take it serious. 😉👍📚💝. 5mo
Sace For the past couple of years I had started Christmas music in early November, however this year I haven‘t felt quite ready for it. 5mo
AnnCrystal @Sace 🎶🎄 that's when we begin, early November...yeah, a lot of people are down. I can feel it in my community. People are quiet. Worried? Fearful? Not sure 🙏💝. 5mo
Sace I my case it was temps still being in the 80s and humidity 🙄 5mo
AnnCrystal @Sace oh, the weather here is crazy too. Hot, cold, warm, cool, hot, cold...with each day...🤔🧐💝. (edited) 5mo
