‘Coming-of-age can happen at the strangest times. Into his sixties and newly retired, Anders decides he‘s had enough of steady habits..‘

The basis for one of my favorite Netflix movies. A little sad, often humorous, this was a pretty good story.

‘An innocent young girl... a noble youth obsessed with her beauty... and a mother who will do anything to keep them apart...‘

This was an excellent version of Rapunzel. Highly recommend to fairytale lovers.

‘The coachman tried to warn young Mary Yellan away from the ruined, forbidding place on the rainswept Cornish coast..‘

A nice gothic tale, this was dark and atmospheric. I enjoyed it. Good writing and details.

What I‘ve come up with so far for my #DecemberTBR. I have a few more I forgot to add for the photo. Not sure what I‘m reading on Kindle yet. I‘ll mostly be focusing on books for different reading challenges I‘m behind on.

I didn‘t have any time to read yesterday. I‘ll be starting on the #20in4 #Readathon today. I‘m hoping to finish Jamaica Inn today, and then I‘ll be starting on my December TBR.

Both. I like to have Eggnog during the holidays and Hot Chocolate during the winter and chilly autumn days.

This was my first time reading this edition of ‘Salem‘s Lot. This book includes a section of deleted scenes from the original manuscript, the short stories One for the Road and Jerusalem‘s Lot, and black and white photography in the section breaks.

This is still one of my favorite vampire novels.

“The dead don‘t talk. I don‘t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant.

I really enjoyed this story. The writing was great, and I really like the main character. Look forward to reading the rest of the series.

1. Paint It, Black - The Rolling Stones

2. Currently reading Jamaica Inn. Can‘t really think of a specific song for this book. I feel like the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack would be suitable for this.
