pick#riseupreads This book was so much fun! I enjoyed the different relationships and way community came together during the Intersection of Hanukkah, Ramadan and Christmas - during a snow storm ❤️
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! I hope there will be Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all living beings ❤️
pickI hesitated to read this because of the cover tbh- and the cover is sort of misleading! I Loved this book! It is one of my favorites for this year! I feisty fmc with weather witch powers, forced marriage, a king battling the odds to save his people…. monsters- bad people… morally gray people… good people… questionable choices- bravery, deceit all tied up in a book I read in 2 days! Romantasy- with spice and a great story for most of book!
pickI recommend these books to cozy romance readers with a little bit of spice.
Thank you Denise for this lovely #jolabokaflodswap package! It is perfect!

pickThis was ok- better than so-so- low pick but good for a filler and hea style. She‘s searching for connections with long lost family, he‘s part of a generational curse. There was some confusion where I think the story could have been filled in and some places it dragged. it is a bit spicy.
also my #jolabokaflodswap arrived ❤️❤️❤️
I am finally reading this book. For a book club. Thursday. Is it unputdownable?
happy #hyggehourreadathon day!!!!
I am recovering in bed and reading and dozing all day. Can‘t wait to hear about your cozy hour ❤️
pickAnother fun episode (#11) in this series. A patient is murdered in a Dr.s office and then there are plot twists… is it due to negligence? revenge? Can the dr be held accountable for other problematic behavior? I do like this series…
pickI liked this book more than the first. I fo think there may have been a few too many plots going on but they all meshed with the story. The love triangle is a little bit annoying- i am curious to see how it all ends in book 3.
pickThis is a local book club pick- or i may have skipped over it. I‘m glad it was picked, but honestly it‘s more like reading an iteration of a retelling of a translated book. So not super original, but with some original components and fairly fast paced. I did enjoy it…. I would love to hear other opinions…
pickFun, cozy second book in a series- takes on another love story in this small town. Perfect for chill reads with enjoyable characters and setting.
I love this list Mikala - I always know I will enjoy a book if you have it listed as a Pick! We have a few on here I loved this year too- A Simple Twist of Fate, Shield of Sparrows and The Serpant and The Wolf. I suspect i will read quite a few of the others you listed if not all of them 💚 #auldlangspine
#midwintersolace This will typically be a Friday post but I will be limited in posting this Friday- Open to everyone!! I love seeing the nature books everyone is reading!
pickMy hygge hour is a little early because i cannot keep my eyes open. Super cozy book and super cozy night. I hope you are all having a cozy time as well.
Happy #hyggehourreadathon day to all who celebrate 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 Can‘t wait to share a cozy hour with you!
#midwintersolace is back to bring cozy and comfort into our lives.
pickI read these when I learned that Tears of the Wolf is a sort of prequel. The writing is not as good as these newest two books, but it‘s a solid story about two cursed individuals trying to survive, break their curses and have fallen in love- and basically a lot of people are trying to capture and or kill them. Also monsters.
pickThese were light, fun, a little spicy historical romances. Perfect for when I could focus but wanted to read and everything will work out in the end.
pickI loved this Sequel to Tears of The Wolf. I‘m reading the books this author wrote previously and really appreciate how much she has grown in the way she tells a story. This is a fantasy viking inspired with magic and romance - there will be a third book.
pickEach book features a sibling in this small town Montana series. I enjoyed the characters and the HEA, and really was just the right fluff to read in October.
pickThe local bookclub picked crossroads to read because Devney Perry and Jay Kristoff were coming to town. I loved her Romantasy Shield of Sparrows- and am really enjoying her contemporary romances too- Formulaic and HEA but I like the characters and backstories!
pickI just realized I have not been posting books as I read- no clue how that happened!!! I had a hard time getting into this book- and for the first half would have considered it a so-so, but as parts came together I began to enjoy it more and by the end was satisfied with the direction it went in. This is the first of a duology- and I would love to hear other thoughts/discuss with anyone else who read it.
I really need someone to teach me how to cook, how to like cooking, and how to store food. I‘m not thriving because health becomes overwhelming and if I could just get this accomplished I feel like i could reduce the amount of drowning I am doing.

I constantly try to fit in in WV. My son and I just had a several hours long conversation about masking- something I‘ve done purposefully since High School (for senior celebrity i was class ditz) Sometimes it is to reduce loneliness and sometimes it is for ease- but now I feel myself slipping in and out of the masks because it feels necessary and appropriate in the situation. Sometimes life-ing is just hard!

I really appreciate the opportunity in this book to recognize me. I am a pretty messy, emotional, curious and caring person. I can be judgy at times (my shadow side) and do strive to be compassionate. I‘m also frustrated with myself for not being smarter, more organized and less chaotic.

Hi friends! As you can tell I am not someone who is consistent with timelines and due dates. My combination of Chronic Epstein Barr (2 week flare i think i‘m at end of) and ADHD (I really struggle with planning ahead) mean I will be getting posts out but not on a consistent timeline. Please feel free to post at anytime whenever you choose- and wherever you are in the book.
