I guessed on a few, so I'm thrilled with my score! Three of my favorite holiday songs:
1. “Christmastime is Here“: not from a movie, but a tv show--the best holiday one ever! (A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS, of course!)
2. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas“: written for the movie MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS and sung by the incomparable Judy Garland.
3. “Silver and Gold“ by Burl Ives: another tv show (RUDOLPH).
pickAnother book full of love and feelings. I love the stories Lisa Wingate writes. The main message I took from this novel is to take the time to “stop and smell the roses” in our lives. Find contentment in what you have not trying to reach for happiness in things. I gave it 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am bailing on this; the mood/tone and impending sense of doom has me scrambling for air and sunshine. I did an internet search for spoilers so I could know what happens and now I am glad that I will stop reading this. #hailthebail #lifestooshort #timeforacozyhappybookplease ! #Oct2025 Book99
I have had this book on my tbr since reading Gone Girl and seeing that the author has lived in many places that I, too, have lived. Today, I looked at my Libby for audios-available-now and decided this title works for this time of year. 🗡️🎃👻🔪
pickUnpopular opinion… I didn‘t love this book as much as everyone else did… I found myself really enjoying parts of it and then finding other parts absolutely ridiculous and for that reason it is a soft pick for me! I will be interested to see what my book club ladies think of it!
pick4.5/5 - almost too many twists and turns…to the point of slight confusion. but that is probably a “me” problem. very good writing, great mysteries and well developed characters.
