I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

My #bookspin and #bookspinbingo books for December. They are mostly Christmas books for #wintergames2020 (go #teamreadnosereindeer). But I do have a couple of books that aren‘t Christmas fare included as well. 🎄🧑🏻‍🎄📚#readnosereindeer

And yet another book of short stories still on my TBR. 😬 I wonder if there‘s still something nasty in the woodshed?

I don't read much on my kindle but here is a book of short stories i enjoyed although only one story features life on the ada doom farm and from recollection only one other was a Christmas tale. Still the cover picture is apt with a young child rolloing a snowball.. Im tempted to reread cold comfort farm soon.

robinb I have never read Cold Comfort Farm but have always meant to...🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😄 6y

Well, I didn't realise this was a book of short stories!
December book club read as we decided it had to have Christmas in the title :)
Thoroughly enjoyed the first story, now onto the Cold Comfort Farm story.

I‘m going to try:

🎄Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons
🎅🏻Hot Zone by Steven Konkoly (page-turner, I hope)
🎁The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

I‘ll also continue A Christmas Carol on the Serial Reader app, and the audiobook of Bossypants.

robinb I‘ve been meaning to read the original Cold Comfort Farm...wasn‘t aware there is a Christmas edition. 😊 7y
tomes4gnomes @robinb The original is one of my favorite books. Hoping this one will be a fun seasonal treat even if it doesn‘t live up to the first book. 7y
robinb @tomes4gnomes looking forward to starting the first one. I‘ll be watching to see what you think of this one. 7y
