And down to the wire, I am finally posting my #ReadYourEbooks list for December. I finally read one of the picked books for November. 🥳 I need to read Negroland for a reading challenge this month, so even if it isn‘t picked, I should knock at least one of these off.
So many things!
1. First and foremost, CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎁🎅
2. Christmas gift shopping—gift-giving is my love language.
3. Christmas movies!
4. Christmas music!
5. Seeing my far-flung children come home!
6. Some cool weather—finally.
7. Reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the next. I know that‘s January, but you have to make the actual decisions in December.

pickWhat I love most about this collection is that Hearn so loved Japan and understood how culturally important it was to capture these tales as accurately as possible. He didn‘t try to Westernize anything, he wanted to bring the culture to the attention of the Western world in its true form. I love him for that. I loved reading these supernatural tales and will be seeking out more.
pickYou know, these are kinda fun. It was a bit like, “What if Sherlock Holmes were into investigating the Supernatural?” My favorite was the guy who visited his old school which was a monastery, now in ruins. His old teachers are there, and they haven‘t aged. He realizes they‘re demonic monks a little too late because the dark magic ceremony is *happening* but John Silence comes to his rescue.
I recommend this trilogy by Libba Bray. Here another shelvie with various books.
This month‘s book is #Christine Grab your copy and check back at the end of the month for open discussion! Don‘t forget to tag me so I can see which version you have! #LosersClub #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead
Today is a travel day for me back to normalcy. Planning on finishing all my current reads on the train.
Also just launched a #bookstagram so if you‘re interested in more in depth thoughts, etc — I‘m at lgc.reads on Instagram! 💖
pick#ChristmasCrimeChallenge #FamousDetective - because, you know, it says so in the cover. Kind of.
Listened to this on audio, which was absolutely the way - and enjoyed it thoroughly. Might even try the next in the series. 12-year-old Stephanie inherits her uncle‘s house. And before you know it, she‘s hanging out with a living skeleton, saving the world. Lots of laughs, some really quite scary bits, and a way-too-long fight scene. Fun, though.
pickOh no, the drunk chapter... I find all the drunk chapters excruciating but oh noooo this one.
But oh, MXTX sure does torture her characters. Wei Wuxian's golden core...
