Day 18: Tree. Well says it all in the title. I like to mix up holiday romance with a bit of murder this time of year.

This is a low pick for me. I didn‘t really like any of the characters. They were either overly dramatic or blah. I liked that Nory owned a secondhand bookshop and loved books, but she had such a hard time actually selling them? This is set around Christmas and very winter estate, but it‘s not a cutesy holiday romance. More a winter romance drama.

And now I‘m all caught up!

This was a bit change of pace after all the holiday reads. Set in the 1300s in Florence during the plague. Ginerva has magical abilities and just wants to help people. She ends up getting caught and is mutilated and exiled from the city. Then the plague comes and she‘s asked to come back to the city and find the religious relics. I liked it!

Low pick on this one. Winnie‘s background just stressed me out too much. I know there are people out there like her family and it just honestly blows my mind.

This one is Winnie and Kallum filming a soft core porn Christmas movie. He‘s had a crush on her forever but she thinks he ruined her life. But it is a romance.

This was a reread for me! I remembered who the killer was but not all of the other drama. It was still a good mystery!

A new #HolidayTradition started last year is baking and frosting Christmas cookies with my niece. We got together over the weekend and had a blast

LOVED IT. I was worried because I thought this would be related to Cinderella is Dead, which wasn‘t totally for me… but it wasn‘t and the fairytale references & imagery were elaborate & fun. I loved the characters, it was so good!
