#WinterGames2024 #HolidayBookDragons #ChristmasCheer
Day 18: Tree. Well says it all in the title. I like to mix up holiday romance with a bit of murder this time of year.
@LiseWorks @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pick10 classic stories that take place at Christmas, including authors such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Marjory Allingham, G K Chesterton etc bit also a story from Val McDermid and Ian Rankin.
Sone good stories but as always with short stories you are often wanting more.
11th book finished for #DashingDecember

panIbwas trying to be festive with this collection of Christmas themed crime stories. Not all had murder. They were all dated and boring stories.
#WondrousWednesday thanks for the tags @Eggs and @Crazeedi
1: ooh tricky one. I'm loving Karin Slaughter at the moment. But I guess I'd have to say the Queen of murder Agatha Christie
2: I panned a couple but I can't remember the titles. Panned because the stories just didn't appeal one made light of flouting covid rules.
3: My health, its been a rough year with an operation gone wrong leading to major surgery but I'm here and alive.
pickThere's ten short stories in this and I enjoyed most of them. I think my favourite was adventure of the blue carbuncle. Many well recognised authors and characters. #WinterGames2020 #MerryReaders.

panI picked this up in a hospital waiting room while I was waiting to get seen for a broken bone. It was the best option of a bad bunch of old romance novels, and I should have gone with the romance 😅 it would not have been finished if the wait wasn‘t so long 👎🏼
pickAlthough I‘m not a huge fan of short stories ... this collection was great. Great little Christmas read. I‘m excited to make this another tradition of the books I read (or parts of) next year as well
He is judging me for not paying attention to him and reading instead :/ I actually really like these little stories
Recommendations please: We have hot, Summer Christmases here in Australia 🇦🇺 so for a change of season I am looking for some Wintery Christmas books, preferably mystery and murder. Which are your favorites?
a little festive suspense tonight.
