⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 I enjoyed this one. Wasn't quite what I expected but in a good way, had more depth and heartache. Also wasn't as holidayish but that didn't take away from the story.

Girls of Paper and Fire | Natasha Ngan

This one has been on my TBR for a while- and marks the 102nd #MtTBRChallenge book of 2019 for me! Plus, this is my final book for #Booked2019 - #ParanormalMCPoC - and I am so glad to already have my hands on the sequel! I really enjoyed this engaging fantasy. The world-building fascinated me and I loved the characters, too! It might be my #FavoriteDecemberRead #HollyJollyReading #WinterGames #ReadNosedReindeer

TorieStorieS @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks!! This was the first year I participated in tracking Mt. TBR! Your number is amazing, too!! Hoping for even more next year!! 🥳🥳🥳 5y

Cinfhen Wow!!!!! That‘s impressive🙌🏻 🎉I don‘t think I read more than 20 books I owned prior to the start of 2019🤪I bought and read a bunch but very few came off of my backlog 🙈 5y

TorieStorieS @Cinfhen Thanks!!! I made an effort this year- but my TBR according to Goodreads is still more books unread than read!! Maybe the tide will finally change in 2020! 🤞🤞🤞 5y

StayCurious What a great picture and a great accomplishment! +16 5y

I still have to finish two more books by the end of the year, but in the meantime I‘m going to call the tagged book my #FavoriteDecemberRead because I think it needs some more love from Litsy. Here are the rest.
-Force of Nature (Harper) 🇦🇺
-Christmas Cake Murder (Fluke) 👎🏻
-Ellen‘s Lion (Johnson) 🦁
-Winter at the Door (Graves) 🌲

Christmas Shopaholic: A Novel | Sophie Kinsella

I‘ve read some cute books but I think this was my #favoritedecemberread! #hollyjollyreading

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Jeshara I haven't read any of the Shopaholic books, but I did discover Sophie Kinsella/Madeline Wickham this year. I found Cocktails for Three at a used book sale, and I thought it was super cute. I have a few more of her books on my list for next year.

Cocktails for Three

OriginalCyn620 @Jeshara that‘s cool! I really like her! Her books are great for when I need a light, fun read. 5y

marleed This was my first year to actually read holiday books in December. It was fun. I‘m going to see if I can thrift some in 2020 for a Dec readathon - and a fun thrifting challenge. 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Cute cover!! 5y

OriginalCyn620 Love that idea @marleed! 5y

Cruel Acts | Jane Casey

pick

Leo Stone was convicted of being a serial killer. He‘s free due to a mistrial. DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent are determined to review all the evidence prior to his retrial. Maeve is not sure he‘s guilty.
Maeve is contacted by Rob which complicates her friendship with Derwent. Cliffhanger about a new love interest has me waiting for the next book which comes out in April. Recommend this series but should read these books in order.
