A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) | Sarah J. Maas

#LittensLoveRomance Our February book has been selected and it is definitely one of the most hyped out there. The ACOTAR fanbase can be rabid haha. Let‘s see if it‘s worth all the fuss. This one is considered “romantasy”. We‘ll start Feb 10 and read 3 chapters a day. I believe it is available on Everand for those that subscribe or hopefully your library has plenty of copies. Please let me know if you want to be tagged in my daily posts.

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Sorry for the late post - I missed my cue (haha - get it, because theatre?) Ch.16-end / review — as usual we were led down some dark passages in this one, and it hit close to home for Eve. The victim in this case was deplorable- and Eve ended up feeling for the killer. I thought the twist and reveal was pulled off nicely - Dame Christie would have been proud. ⬇️

StayCurious I liked the sentimental moments between Roarke and Eve, and Eve and Trueheart‘s mother. I think Peabody and Eve grew closer. I think Eve and Nadine grew closer. And I think Peabody and Mcnabb grew very close. Overall, a good addition to the series that helped propel it further. 3d

TheAromaofBooks We so often hear more about how Eve feels about her evil dad, so it was interesting to think about mothers, especially Eve's. Such a good job showing Eve's personal growth throughout this series as different cases make her face different aspects of her past. And I'm totally hear for Peabody + McNabb!! 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.34-end/review: it was big gesture time and I think Dominic nailed it. A public declaration of love goes a long way - with Shay, with their audience, and with us. Good things on the horizon for them and the new show. Overall I enjoyed this book but I can‘t say I loved it - I was on edge for a big chunk, waiting for the big lie to be exposed. But I enjoyed the conversations, the setting, and thought Shay and Dominic were cute.

MatchlessMarie I related a lot to Shay as someone who has always given more than she‘s gotten in relationships I understand why she is the way that she is 😅 I‘m glad they found each other in the end and stuck it to Kent 🖕 6d

OriginalCyn620 Yes, Dominic definitely nailed the public declaration of love! I did enjoy this book, and Shay and Dominic were both characters that I rooted for. And I thought the ending was nice, very hopeful! 6d

Kshakal I loved dom‘s grand gesture! 💗 6d

mcctrish Despite reading along with a lot of romance books, I don‘t consider myself a romance reader 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ not very self aware I guess. I did enjoy the public radio setting, the banter and Kent as a super villain ( not a usual character in romance novels imo ) 6d

TheSpineView I agree on the assessment that this book is an enjoyable read but not one I fell in love with. I wanted more character development. I did like that the story felt plausible. The grand gesture was cool. Glad Kent got his in the end. 6d

TheAromaofBooks It's probably my own fault - I know that reading books where a big plot point hinges on someone telling a lie will stress me out, but I read them anyway 😂 6d

vonnie862 I loved the way Dominic won Shay back! And i love how they both said F'you to Kent. I had fun with this book. 6d

BethM I really wanted him to do like an on air expose of the sexism at the station in order to win her back 😂 6d

Cupcake12 I really enjoyed this book. I liked the basis of the podcast being the main storyline. There was some great character development and I‘m glad I joined in with this buddy read. (It was my first one 🥰) Thank you for hosting x 6d

julieclair I enjoyed this book, despite the fact that I was biting my nails through a lot of it, waiting for the big lie to be exposed. Loved the big gesture ending! 5d

Skygoddess1 I really enjoyed this book and love the very public apology on Dominic‘s behalf. I especially love that they drop all the f-bombs and we find out that Kent does eventually get fired. This was a great distraction from real life 5d

Graciouswarriorprincess I enjoyed this book. Thanks. 😊 4d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.31-33: Welp - talk about an implosion. Everything went completely wrong in 3 chapters. We were all expecting it but I wasn‘t expecting it to come from Kent. What a scumbag! I know things will get resolved, because we know our genre - but I might still hold a grudge after the book is done! We‘ll finish up the rest tomorrow.

mcctrish I couldn‘t believe Kent was such a toxic shithead! This is a first for a romance book for me and I‘m impressed with the author for having such an interesting storyline. But I want Kent to get hit by a bus and run over by a Prius and then thrown in Puget Sound 7d

StayCurious @mcctrish agreed!! 😝 7d

Kshakal Kent is the worst!! 7d

TheSpineView I think scumbag is too nice a term to describe Kent. I could never work for a person like that. I feel really sorry for Shay, but I also think she shouldn't be surprised this happened. She kind of made her bed too. I think this whole debacle is a reflection of journalism today. I don't trust any media anymore. 7d

vonnie862 Woah! I was not expecting the reveal to happen that way! And Dominic...aye 7d

Skygoddess1 I was definitely blindsided by Kent being the one to tell the truth, what a POS human being. 6d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.28-30: Yay! I‘m happy they‘re happy. Thank goodness Dominic actually pinned Shay down and they TALKED! A novelty in romance novels haha. But there‘s still a chunk of the book left and they still have to deal with the lie that has only gotten bigger the longer they‘re on the air…things are about to get sticky I think.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.25-27: oh Shay. I‘m sad for you. Don‘t get me wrong, we‘re all a little self sabotaging at times and I‘d probably have screwed this up too. But I‘m sad for you. Poor Dominic. He didn‘t deserve such an abrupt end. Now Ameena - she deserves to be given the cold shoulder. She was pretty harsh. Poor TJ haha - having to be in the middle. I feel like I‘ve been on edge this whole book and it‘s all about to hit the fan.

TheSpineView What Ameena said was so uncalled for. I wanted to give her a piece of my mind. Shay and Dominic should have talked things out. I get she is conflicted, but she is usually the clingy one. This is kind of out of character for her. 1w

JenlovesJT47 Ameena really pissed me off in these chapters! 😤 Glad it‘s not just me 🙃 1w

See All 8 Comments

OriginalCyn620 Ameena was too harsh and she made her decision back then without talking to Shay, so she really can‘t throw in Shay‘s face now. And since Shay and Dominic were on an honesty kick, why didn‘t she just talk to him? But you said it well, Renee. I‘ve been on pins and needles this whole book! 1w

julieclair I was so disappointed in Ameena. And I‘m not sure what she‘s trying to achieve by being so ugly to her best friend. 1w

vonnie862 Aye! I wanted to shake all of the characters! 1w

LiseWorks I was a little disappointed with Shay. Poor Dominic! 1w

Skygoddess1 I cannot believe Ameena, she was so nasty to Shay and I wish I could‘ve given her a piece of my mind. Shay needs to get out of her head and learn how to communicate those thoughts to Dominic, I feel like he‘d be open to more if she let him know that‘s what she wanted 1w

#LittensLoveRomance ch22-24: How are Shay and Dominic going to handle things now that they‘ve crossed that line? Hope they can be honest abt what they‘re feeling-but let‘s be real-More lies will be told before this book is done. Do we think Shay should confront Kent for being so misogynistic? That‘s a tough road to travel. But can she be fulfilled in a position lower than Dominic? And will Shay have a falling out with Ameena over everything?

julieclair The lies are going to pile up higher and higher. 🫣 And Kent… I think Shay should have an unemotional, frank talk with him. It probably won‘t do any good, but she owes it to herself to speak up. 1w

See All 8 Comments

OriginalCyn620 In theory, she should speak up to Kent, but I‘m sure she‘s afraid of getting fired or at the very least of him deliberately making things worse for her at work. If she did talk to Kent, maybe reinforcements, Ruthie and Dominic, would help. But yes, the line has been crossed! It‘ll be interesting! 1w

TheSpineView Loved when Dominic called Kent a prick. He sure has his number. 1w

vonnie862 Well, they definitely crossed the line and all the lies are going to spill out soon. Now Kent...I hope Shay will get the strength to stand up to him. 1w

Skygoddess1 I think between Kent‘s obvious misogyny, having to lie and the inevitable truth coming out and blowing up in everyone‘s faces that Shay will reach such a breaking point that she‘ll tell Kent off and quite in the same breath 1w

mcctrish I have totally read past where I‘m supposed to be and I‘m confused. 1w

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.19-21: We finally get to learn more abt Dominic and his past relationship- his only relationship. But though his number is less than Shay‘s it seems as though he has more overall experience than Shay when it comes to love and intimacy. Their weekend away had indeed made them closer. And no surprise, things start to heat up. How will they navigate things when they get back home and go back to work?

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Ch.11-15: the more we learn about the victim Draco, the more he turns out to have been a really rotten guy. An altercation from 24 years ago is revealed and as Eve digs, she may have found more unsettling information about Draco and his last lover Carly. Secrets never stay buried.

vonnie862 @OriginalCyn620 my thoughts as well. But then what really goes on in troll's minds? 2w

MatchlessMarie I don‘t u see stand why they couldn‘t have just cleared it up (ie gaslit that caller lol) with a different date if their actual (fake) breakup that seemed like it would have been the easiest way to confront it since it still would have made the relationship roughly 3 months. 🙃 2w

OriginalCyn620 @TheSpineView Yes! I need more backstory on Dominic‘s love life, since we have some on Shay‘s.

I felt so bad for Dominic that he didn‘t have anyone to call up to go have drinks with him! 🥺 2w

vonnie862 @mcctrish I'm with you: be friends first before getting together. 2w

Skygoddess1 I need to much information on Dominic. His last relationship, why he doesn‘t seem to have any friends despite having grown up and gone to school in Seattle. Did he just push everybody away, or did he do something so heinous they all cut him out of their lives? 2w

DanaManiac I feel like there‘s definitely more to Dominic than it seems. He‘s not super likable initially and then also doesn‘t have local friends. Whatever it is that we end up learning about him, I think it will clear up a lot and help his character transformation. 2w

#LittensLoveRomance Ch:7-9 Shay is definitely attracted to Dominic-but will her feelings get in the way of their new show and the lies they have to keep straight? This would stress me out to the point of hives I think. Especially lying to her mom. I also feel as though a 3 month relationship does not a relationship guru make. I‘d rather listen to a show where the hosts had been together for years. But that would be an even bigger lie to deal with.

willaful 3 months does seem ridiculous. Surely no one would take that seriously. 2w

OriginalCyn620 @Kshakal Yes, exactly! And I agree that it‘s a little flimsy for people who only dated a couple of months to host a radio show about said relationship…it would make more sense if it had been a couple of years. But I‘m just here for the ride! 2w

TheSpineView I agree about the holes. I think they are so big they will fall in and get lost in them. It is a disaster waiting to happen. I'm cringing just thinking about it how this could all go off the rails. 2w

vonnie862 I was not expecting her to lie to her mom. I get it but still. Also, I am so happy she adopted Steve! I kept rooting for the chihuahua! 2w

DanaManiac I‘m curious to see how this all comes together. Personally, a bad personality makes a person so unattractive, so I can‘t relate to Shay‘s love/hate feelings for Dominic. I‘m sure the holes will end up exposing them! 2w

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.4-6: it‘s a tough nugget to swallow when you‘re given an ultimatum-do this new show or you‘re fired. Looks like Dominic is getting to see how the real world of journalism is. But Shay is right - it could open doors and lead to other opportunities for both of them. They just have to make sure they don‘t get caught. ⬇️

BarkingMadRead Age gaps are so tricky, I had a guy once tell me age was mind over matter. If you don‘t mind, it doesn‘t matter 🤣 but sometimes it‘s too much 2w

mcctrish My husband is 4 years younger than me and it only matters when we talk about what we did in high school ( music, tv & movies we listened to/watched) 2w

willaful Knowing that Dominic is so young definitely make it easier to excuse his behavior. He needs the world to teach him a thing or two. And I feel like they're in a similar place emotionally. -- both idealistic about pyublic radio, though in different directions.

My husband is 3 years younger... he was 18 and I was 21 when we met! I was embarrassed about it at the time but it's honestly never mattered. 2w

LiseWorks My husband is 8 years younger than me, and sometimes he acts older than me, lol. I usually remind him that I have been driving longer than him. And yes, songs, tv, and stuff are quite a conversation 2w

OriginalCyn620 I don‘t think the age gap will be that big of a deal! I‘m not speaking from experience though, so what do I know? 😂 And in spite of being so young, Dominic seems a bit uptight. Hopefully doing this new show will loosen him up. 2w

TheSpineView It is mean of me to say, I thought it fitting he got a dose of reality. I know he is young, but he is a bit arrogant too. 2w

Graciouswarriorprincess I dated a guy 16 years older than me and it was fine. Sometimes, historical things would be a bit different but otherwise age is a number. Here‘s hoping they can work it out. 2w

Faranae I don't think 3-4 years is an age gap. I'm sure it could feel that way when you're younger (early 20s), but by your 30s it's nothing, My parents are nearly 10 years apart, fitting the historical tradition (Dad is the older one). Now age gaps in Bujold novels 😬 2w

vonnie862 I know the age gap doesn't matter but I personally do not aim for that. Dominic is in his early 20s so it might play a role as to how he acts with Shay. 2w

Skygoddess1 The five year age gap isn‘t that big a deal for me, it‘d be different if it was a 20 year old with a 15 year old, but they‘re both in their 20s and I feel like it‘s being made a bigger deal than it is. I once dated a guy who was 9 years older than me for almost 5 years, it ended because he was a Peter Pan 2w

DanaManiac I was surprised to learn that Dominic is younger than Shay, but it makes his attitude more understandable. I recall being so black and white in my thinking when I was young (without being a jerk, lol). I feel like the age gap may become a key part of the plot, but not too sure about how. 2w

TheAromaofBooks To me, it depends on the overall age/life experiences. So I think it can make a bit of a difference in their case, with Dominic straight out of college vs Shay already in the workforce several years. I'm 10yrs younger than my husband and we tool along great, but we met when we were older and already knew where we were going in life, so I think that makes a difference!! 2w

julieclair I don‘t feel like the age gap is going to matter. But I feel for both of them having to choose between your ethics/morals/standards and keeping your job. 2w

Cupcake12 Looking forward to seeing how the radio show unfolds. I feel Dominic is hiding something due to his bravado 1w

The Ex Talk | Rachel Lynn Solomon

#LittensLoveRomance ch.1-3: well I don‘t like snobby Dominic so far- Mr. Northwestern- but I‘m sure he‘ll grow on me. I feel for Shay. She‘s feeling lonely and left behind. And unfulfilled. I hope she finds what she‘s looking for. It‘s interesting seeing a radio station in the times of podcasting - what a competitive environment! Must be so hard to stay relevant.

OriginalCyn620 Dominic seems a bit entitled right off the bat, and he really needs to stop with the Northwestern crap. 😂 But this is an enemies to lovers set up, and that‘s my absolute favorite! Shay does seem a bit lost, and Dominic is going to shake up her world, and I‘m looking forward to it! 2w

Skygoddess1 Dominic needs a good swift kick to his arrogant I know everything butt! I definitely feel for Shay and can relate to her feelings about the loss of her Dad. 2w

Graciouswarriorprincess I‘m not liking Dominic but agree with @OriginalCyn620 . 😊 2w

TheSpineView I agree with the other comments, I am not a fan of Dominic. He will have to make a complete about face for me to on his team. I get the feeling that Shay has just not found herself yet. She is young, so I'm not surprised about that. 2w

vonnie862 I love the whole radio aspect of it. I especially love how they focus on NPR. 2w

mcctrish @vonnie862 me too 📻 2w

willaful @vonnie862 It's a really interesting setting.

I kind of like that Dominic is being genuinely jerky. I'm starting to loathe “enemies-to-lovers“ romance in which the MMC never actually did anything and the FMC just seems petty as hell. 2w

DanaManiac Okay, Dominic really sucks. He‘s so arrogant! I can‘t wait to see how he‘s possibly going make a turnaround and gain our favor 🫠 2w

Cupcake12 This already feels like it will be a good read. Definitely enemies to lovers. Feel it will be predictable in places. The radio setting is also really interesting. 2w

Witness in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Ch.6-10: Eve has a very interesting cast of characters to deal with - some of whom hated the deceased. We find out the victim was pretty much an a—hole and a sexual deviant (poor Nadine). He had a tape of her that if it got out would be pretty bad. What was he planning to do with it? Was that why he called her for dinner? Or was it just to discuss old times? ⬇️

StayCurious Then the newest victim, made to look a suicide - good thing Eve‘s not easily fooled. What do we think of Charles and Peabody‘s platonic relationship? I hope Eve stays out of it. But if McNabb finds out, will he be relieved or smug? (edited) 3w

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Ch.1-5: All the world‘s a stage…we‘re thrust into the world of the theatre and the actors that live and breathe it. A man is killed in front of Eve and 3000 other people and the question is not who did the actual deed but who switched out the prop knife with a real one. The victim is much hated so there seem to be a lot of motives. ⬇️

StayCurious And who happens to hold a grudge over the victim for a past slight-Nadine Furst - she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and the real killer may use that to his advantage. This one is set to become dramatic, folks. 4w

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.61-end: wow! I didn‘t see the twist coming - it was very craftily done. Everything was properly wrapped up in a perfect bow. The only thing I was hoping for was for Maggie to be Eleanor‘s long lost niece somehow…but sadly I was not correct about that. Still it was a great book - a lot of fun with romance and suspense.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.46-50: the more I get to know Maggie and Ethan the more I want them to be together. This book has sucked me in for sure. I‘m still not sure who the would-be killer is though. I want to say Rupert because he‘s a conniving weasel but I‘m leaning towards Cece or even Rupert‘s wife bc you‘d never suspect her.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.41-46: Someone has been out to get Eleanor for longer than we thought. That‘s probably why she seemed sad when Maggie came across her earlier in the book. Perhaps she invited the mystery writers as a way to help her solve her own case. I liked that Ethan and Maggie are sharing now - I mean, what better time and place than in a dark passageway - no escaping if things get real. So now my question is what happened in Tucson??

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.36-40: Boy, Rupert is a piece of work. How sad to have family you can‘t trust. Poor Eleanor. I wasn‘t surprised there was a secret passage in her house - because of course there is. How fun and potentially useful for her. What will Maggie and Ethan find I wonder?

See All 13 Comments

julesG @BarkingMadRead At least one. 😁 1mo

mcctrish Eleanor is hiding in the secret passage 🙏🏻 or used it to get away. Maybe it‘s a test AND an attempted murder 1mo

willaful @mcctrish My theory as well! 1mo

vonnie862 @mcctrish that's what I'm thinking too! 1mo

peanutnine Definitely needed a secret passage! I'm thinking maybe there's one out of her office that helped Eleanor escape... Also loving the few Ethan pov chapters scattered throughout now 1mo

CogsOfEncouragement Still laughing at chapter 39 “Maggie had known chaos…San Diego Comic-Con…MurderFest when word broke out that Ethan Wyatt got a new leather jacket… 1mo

OriginalCyn620 @mctrish I think you‘re right! Also, I‘m just glad Ethan and Maggie kissed! 1mo

Skygoddess1 I‘ve been waiting for the secret passage to be found 1mo

mcctrish @willaful @vonnie862 ooo did Eleanor know someone would try to kill her or have things escalated?! 1mo

vonnie862 @mcctrish maybe?! I have hope that she's still alive. 1mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.31-35: I think I may be obsessed with Ethan now - the romance in this book is ramping up, and there‘s no one who deserves it more than Maggie. Man, Colin is a jerk. I feel so bad that she was treated like that by her husband. She deserves so much more!

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.26-30: well things have definitely escalated and now there‘s a chance that Maggie was wrong and they‘re all in danger. But I so wanted her to be right! She better stick close to Ethan because it seems he‘s the only one in the house who‘s thinking straight.

mcctrish So Ethan is an ex-high level bodyguard? Or some kind of operative ? And that‘s why he has no backstory and knows gunshots when he hears them and what kind of gun was shooting? I liked Maggie‘s game idea better 1mo

BarkingMadRead Omg this is getting crazy. I really wanted it to be a scavenger hunt with Eleanor at the end of it! Now I‘m super concerned about some of these people! 1mo

peanutnine I agree, I definitely wanted it to be a puzzle! No high stakes murder to outrun please 1mo

vonnie862 Oh my goodness, I was not expecting that! I was hoping Eleanor was right...but hey, maybe she's still right... 1mo

OriginalCyn620 I really thought it was a game that Eleanor set up. But things really took a turn in these chapters! I‘m trying really hard to stay on schedule and not read ahead, but it‘s a struggle! 1mo

julieclair Okay, so I had a mountain of presents that had to be wrapped last night. And I was listening on audio. And I may or may not have accidentally forgotten to stop until I reached the end… 🫣 1mo

julesG @julieclair That's how I managed to binge the book, too. 1mo

julesG I really like that despite Ethan's super secret background and loads of experience, he doesn't treat Maggie like a raw egg. He lets her be in charge where possible. 1mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.21-25: Maggie is on a mission and she doesn‘t care if she leaves anyone behind. Better she does it first than let them leave her. Which is why she can‘t trust Ethan right now and can‘t share what she thinks she knows. Is she right though? Is this a test set up by Eleanor? If so, there‘s no one who knows her more than Maggie. Maggie is set to win. But will she need help along the way?

mcctrish I‘m not sure I trust Ethan. The editor could have told Ethan the same message she told Maggie. He obviously had a few women disappointed that he was blowing off Christmas ( is that cuz he‘s flirty with everyone and they can‘t read the room or is he a serial dater?!) so he might have demanded/required the same forceful shove to get in the plane and figured out there was a game afoot and wants to be in team Maggie for nefarious reasons 1mo

OriginalCyn620 I was wondering if Eleanor gathered everyone because she was setting up a game or contest. But I agree that Maggie shouldn‘t trust Ethan…at least not yet. 1mo

See All 9 Comments

BarkingMadRead Still not sure about Ethan, but if this is a test, Maggie is set to win for sure! 1mo

LiseWorks For some reason, I think Ethan, even though he has a reputation when it comes to Maggie it's something else. I think Eleanor set them both up to be together 1mo

StayCurious @LiseWorks agree. Eleanor is obviously lonely. Maybe she doesn‘t want Maggie to end up like her. 1mo

Skygoddess1 I think this is Eleanor‘s way of plotting to bring Maggie and Ethan together. I also want to know why no one has thought to look for a hidden passageway? 1mo

willaful I'm assuming Maggie's right but I sure wouldn't want to be in her shoes if she isn't. 1mo

vonnie862 I agree with many of you. I feel that Eleanor set everything up. 1mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.16-20: oh I feel so bad for both Maggie and Eleanor. I think they are kindred spirits. In a room full of idiots (at least mostly). And what‘s up with Ethan being so cagey about his past? Sign me up for that seminar! I need to know all of his secrets. Poor Maggie - it seems she was sorely used by her ex and her ex friend. Seems Colin‘s family lost money and he married her to get her book royalties. Seething on her behalf.

StayCurious @mcctrish @LiseWorks @TheSpineView @Graciouswarriorprincess @Skygoddess1 @OriginalCyn620 @Kshakal @willaful @peanutnine @vonnie862 @julieclair @Read4life @mcipher @catiewithac @julesG @BarkingMadRead 1mo

catiewithac One of the reasons I decided to read this book was the dedication. This is a feminist romance, make no mistake! 💪🏼 1mo

BarkingMadRead I‘m intrigued about Ethan for sure and I really want to crush her ex and her ex friend! They totally used her and left her with nothing. Who does that?!? Ugh! 1mo

See All 12 Comments

catiewithac @BarkingMadRead Yeah, the exes sound particularly evil and cunning. 1mo

OriginalCyn620 Yes, can‘t wait to find out why Ethan is so secretive about his past. @catiewithac Love the dedication! 1mo

mcctrish I intrigued with Ethan and a little put out by his possessiveness. Has Eleanor been kidnapped ? Hidden somewhere in the house with room for more? (edited) 1mo

mcipher Oh the exes are the WORST! How horrible can people be to someone you‘re supposed to care about?!? 1mo

mcipher Okay and having read ahead I‘ll tell you that Ethan‘s possessiveness make so much sense and is soooo cute later on @mcctrish 😉 1mo

Skygoddess1 Maggie was definitely used by her ex husband and ex best friend, I want to hit and yell at both of them on her behalf. Ethan is definitely a mystery and I can‘t wait to see what we learn about him as the story unfolds 1mo

julieclair I think Ethan is hiding his past because he grew up poor and feels embarrassed about it for some reason. And… I‘m wondering if Eleanor has hidden herself on purpose… creating her own mystery for her guests to solve. 1mo

vonnie862 I'm mostly intrigued about what happened to Eleanor. 1mo

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.6-10: I‘ve been rewatching Downton Abbey and so far I can‘t help but picture the incredible Maggie Smith as Eleanor Ashley. So what is this mysterious lady up to? And is her niece CeCe involved? Why did she bring fellow mystery writers to her for Christmas? So many questions but I‘m so invested already! I already care a great deal for Maggie - her anxious internal monologue is so relatable. And Ethan is funny so far.

#LittensLoveRomance We‘re off to a very interesting start. I feel so much for poor Maggie - she‘s been through a lot. No wonder she‘s a bit of a recluse. Will this mysterious invite and getaway help break her out of her shell? Will she be able to handle having her professional nemesis there for the ride? So far I‘m enjoying the writing style and I‘m curious to know more - about the past and the future.

Nelnjali @StayCurious I was away all weekend and forgot to make my final post for last week's game. Is it too late to post it for points? I haven't worked on it since like Wednesday, but I totally get it if it's too late :) 2mo

Midnight Kiss | Kaylee Ryan

I loved this novella that takes place around New Year‘s Eve - two long time friends finally decide to take the plunge and embrace what they‘ve known for years - that they are meant to be. So romantic and swoony. I love this author - she never disappoints.

Snow Kisses: A Mountain Man Romance | Kelsey Kain

pan

This is a wintery novella that left me shaking my head🤦‍♀️A meteorologist predicts the storm of the century but no one will believe her. She needs data but her equipment is broken. She asks the local science teacher to help fix her computer. But as it starts to snow…they get distracted with each other. Forget about the incoming storm let‘s get it on! So ridiculous. The writing and story could have used some major work.

This was a cute holiday novella available on KU and was just what you‘d expect from a cute holiday novella. I like the author and look forward to reading more from her. This gained me a bunch of #WGWordSearch points for #WinterGames2024 Team #XmasChaCha #ChristmasChapterChasers
