I LOVE book coincidences like this one. I started my audiobook where I left off last night. And they immediately start talking about Christmas! Even though it‘s May in the book. Do the fates just know it‘s really Christmas Day today so I‘d start reading right here?! #authoramonth @Soubhiville

Completed for #AuthorAMonth December #NoraRoberts I read Robert‘s books back in the day, but it‘s been literal decades, so I went to Libby to find a standalone & this one came in first. I enjoyed it, mainly the Appalachians setting, characters & the mystery/thriller aspects. Overall not bad, a good don‘t-have-to-think-too-hard about-it book & I may read the other book when my hold comes in. With this one, I have read all 12 authors! 🎊
@AmyG what a wonderful holiday gift bundle, thank you so much! The tagged is going right on my #AuthorAMonth shelf, great choice! I saw Alice Winn at TX Book Fest a few years ago and have wanted to read In Memoriam ever since. And Sleeping Giants has been on my TBR a while too. I laughed so much reading the Judgy Fish stickers, and I love the lobster cards! You‘re so thoughtful. Big holiday hugs (and I hope you‘ve gotten some snow by now.) ❤️💚❤️
My #AuldLangSpine stack! Subbing for The Last Unicorn, which I've read many times, are The Last Unicorn: The Lost Story and/or In Calabria.

pickLoved it, as expected. A delightful Snow White rewrite where Snow is an ancillary character to an adult lady poison expert. Light romance, creepy mirror world, on-its-head fairytale retelling? Yes, please. And I stand by my comp to Robin McKinley for this book, too.
pickA delightful story! A young woman, having just cancelled her wedding, starts anew in an old mansion on the coast of Maine, and meets an attractive single lawyer in town. Sounds like a typical romance but I love the ghostly twist. The mansion is haunted by many ghosts, one of whom is the epitome of evil. Sonya must decide whether to accept this inheritance and learn to live in this unusual reality. I‘ve already started book 2. #authoramonth
pickSolid police procedural thriller - set in a fictional future version of NYC. I haven‘t read anything else in this In Death universe and this is book #58 - so clearly a lot of character connection that I arguably missed not reading the others, but the author does a decent job of giving you the gist even if you‘re coming in cold. I definitely walked away enjoying Eve…and hunky Roarke.
It gave me The Closer vibes. 🥹 #AuthorAMonth
I gave up this series about 10 years ago & there are around 20 new books in it. 😳 For #AuthorAMonth I picked up where I left off. It's a good, readable story of but I can't say I can really get behind a cop heroine and billionaire hero these days. Throw in a lot of sexual violence and a nasty prison rape comment and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to catch up with the missing 20 plus however many new ones there are since I started that sentence.
