My Goodreads year in review.

Final book of 2024. Book 260.

The third in the series is set in Redwood Grove in northern California. Ellie Alexander creates such wonderful towns with great characters. I'm really enjoying getting to know the characters more in each story and seeing their development as people. Great series and can't wait for more books!

My BN #bookhaul sale books. I have had these cookbooks on my wish list so when I saw that hardbacks were 1/3 off and I had gift cards, I went to BN and grabbed them.

My one friend gave this blanket and tote for Christmas.

We didn‘t do a lot of presents this year as we adopted two families. We decided to only do stockings and we had a limit of $50. However, my sons surprised me this morning with a bag of books, bookmarks and mugs! They said that some of the books came from a used bookstore and everything else was on sale.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

Happy Jolabokaflod! I will be reading and eating chocolate all day until I need to make dinner and get ready for evening Mass.

Thank you @jdiehr for this amazing #Jolabokaflod package! I squealed with delight when I saw the cookbook and your note. The little paper poinsettias and chocolate are perfect! From one GG lover to another, Thank you!!!😊

I got all these books At McKays used book store for seven dollars.

I‘m starting this tonight with the #littensloveromance. Hemingway is fascinated by Goofy.
