so-soI'm not sure if I would have liked this better if I were the target audience (which I am decades from being). The italicized chapters written in first POV by the villain were laughable and ridiculous. But it was a quick read that I may just be way too old for.
“…it‘s the spirit of Christmas that counts. It must be a spirit of goodwill and kindness and joy and love. We must never forget the real meaning of Christmas—never let it be dimmed by any false meanings…”

pickI really liked Tella and found Dante & Jacks super intriguing. And I am happy how there still is more to come.
But what I loved even more was the atmosphere! This felt so magical to read, and I loved the feeling.
This wasn't 100 % satisfying but I guess all these secrets are going to be revealed in the next book.
“Not everyone gets a true ending. There are two types of endings because most people give up at the part of the story where things are the worst, where the situation feels hopeless. But that's when hope is needed most. Only those who persevere can find their true ending.”
pickCharacters were okay, they felt relatable with their worries.
I loved all that action, this was pretty thrilling to read & I wanted to see what was going to happen next.
#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon
Starting my #HyggeHour soon as I‘m not sure how long I‘ll stay awake. I‘m behind on my weekly reading challenges but I feel more like some effortless Nancy for #NancyDrewBR
I‘m on the couch with a cup of throat tea & no snack tonight, listening to my favorite very mellow holiday playlist.
My mood is tired & not ready for tomorrow or the week which includes a Hilo overnight & a board meeting.😵💫
pickDash is wandering the stacks in the Strand when he comes upon a red notebook. He opens it and reads, “I‘ve left some clues for you. If you want them, turn the page.” Lily, who is having a bummer of a Christmas, has left this notebook at the Strand in the hopes that her future soulmate will pick it up and play the game. The two teens pass messages and dates back and forth via the red notebook in a very grumpy/sunshine-holiday spirit kind of way.
Finally got our tree up today! The dog is clearly bothered by the change in his environment. He‘s so high-strung.
