As usual the middle grade High Republic books are fantastic. I loved Churo the Hutt 💜

For Christmas, Tolkien would write letters to his kids as Father Christmas & other characters. It is really cute, & you can even see early LOTR influences.
For this year's reread, I tried the audiobook, & it was incredible ❤️

My Goodreads stats for the year 😺

In December, we read Beware the Nameless. I enjoyed it, especially Churo. How did y'all like it?
For January, it's time for Tears of the Nameless where Reath & Azzazzo go to test some theories out about the Nameless.
As always, if anyone wants to be added or removed, just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀

This is the novelization of Rose, the restart episode for the newer Doctor Who. It was good, but some of the additions seemed a little trite.

This was a cute story about Lucy, who gets a chance to relive her childhood dream when she enters into a competition by her favorite author, Jack Masterson, on Clock Island.

I loved this book so much. The prince of Christmas has been ordered into a fake competition with the prince of Halloween for the hand of the princess of Easter. But Christmas and Easter are best friends, and Christmas is starting to fall for Halloween 🖤❤️🖤

I really enjoyed this book. It covers the lives of three women, Alison from the 1500s who is accused of witchcraft, Clem a woman from this century whose daughter has been badly burned and Erin Clem's daughter. This book covers some of the graphic history of witchcraft in the Orkney Islands as well as the power of modern-day cults and ancient curses 🖤

This is the mythical retelling of the Queen of the Gods, Hera. I really wanted to like it, and the beginning and very end were good but the middle drug. It felt like the longest book, but it was actually under 400 pages.

This was an interesting novella about a group of people who meet in the local graveyard to smoke and stumble on a cover-up.

I absolutely loved this book. It's a dark fairy tale about two boys that go to Wickwood, a private boarding school that is right next to a forest. Andrew has been writing fairy tales and Thomas drawing them for years together, except now they have started coming alive 🖤

Wow that was a lot of blood, death and incest fortunately there were also dragons. I enjoyed the history of the Targaryens even though they were extremely frustrating at the best of times. I loved Mushroom's commentary 🐉

I loved this book. Alfred buys an old Victorian manor and turns it into the Hitchcock Hotel and invites his estranged college friends for the weekend. He has plans, and they all have secrets 🖤

This is somewhat of a convoluted ghost story. The premise is interesting but some of the ending is a bit much. Flora has just had her first child and is having some supernatural postpartum psychosis issues.
