Book 9 read December 2024

What did I read? 😳I wanted to love this book because I liked the movie adaptation which now I should watched it again to see if I have the same impression.

The story started pretty good and I would say I liked that sarcasm humor/funny tone. Some phrases were so reflective and I enjoyed those first characters. But then after the first part, this all drama was a chaos to me. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) My impression is that it was so disconnected, too many unnecessary details. I asked myself if this novel went through the edit process😳I struggled and suffered to finish it because I don‘t like to DNF books I bought. I‘m giving 2 stars because I liked that first part but I still think in those readers that loved this novel and ask myself, what they saw in the novel? What did I miss?⬇️ 4w

Gissy Don‘t bother, I am not going to suffer again in a re-read. And I have another edition of thisk😳Didn‘t work for me. 4w

Avanders 😂 I actually did enjoy this one quite a bit, but I think it‘s one of those where you have to be in exactly the right mindset for it…. And I happened to be. 🫠 4w

Gissy @Avanders You are my heroine🙌I said I won‘t re-read it but I decided not to un haul my copies, yes...copies...I have more than one edition because I thought I would love it. Maybe...someday...after I survived the trauma, I could read read it🤣I still think this book could be edited. You can see in GR 4 or 5 stars and then 1 stars, love it or hate it...not to many in between readers😳 3w

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⭐️ 1mo

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 1mo

BarkingMadRead I liked the story but I hated that Santa was such an asshole. It hurt my heart 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Gissy @BarkingMadRead You are right, maybe in the second book the image change for something positive 🤞 1mo

The Christmas Tree Farm | Laurie Gilmore

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⭐️
