2025 Book #1
Fun, heartfelt western romance in the classic style of Beverly Jenkins. As always, she creates a passionate romance set against a rich small town cast of characters with lots of interconnection between books. Enjoyed.

If the first of the month falls on a day where I am not working or am going in late, I treat myself to breakfast. I‘m letting myself read over coffee this morning!

Managed to cram all my other novel length favourite fiction plus poetry into this frame!
Top row = 2025 favourite fantasy
2nd row = Horror, Mystery, Classic
3rd Row = Contemporary, Short Stories, Historical
4th row= One more classic 😅 plus poetry!

Starting 2026 by revisiting Gareth and Gwen‘s world, so I can read the most recent book after reading The whole series.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I needed something lighter to alternate with Baldwin‘s Go Tell it on the Mountain and A Separate Peace by John Knowles—and this fit the bill. A lighthearted, delightful dessert of a book… I might have to treat myself to Volume 2 tonight as a unicorn chaser after finishing A Separate Peace.

England, 1549 & King Edward VI has not yet reached his majority being only 11 years old, so Lord Hertford, Edward Seymour, is ruling in the name of the King as the Protector. Tensions between landowners & tenants are rising as the former enclose valuable land meaning that the latter have nowhere for their animals to graze.

Finally read my #FoodAndLit #Nicaragua pick (Also a September #BookSpin).
Based on the history of Juana the Mad, this novel is full of obsession, betrayal, ambition, and inappropriate relationships. But it was a good (if infuriating) read to end the year on.
