December reads! Tagged book is the favorite.
I started using Bookmory for my reading tracker app and I love it!

Librariana First time I'm hearing of this app! I currently use Bookly as my reading tracking app, but yours sounds (and is visually!) more delightful so I might need to give it a look-see 😁😊 2y
silentrequiem @Librariana I like it so much better than Bookly! 2y

I was a bit lost at first because I didn‘t realize this was book 2 & hadn‘t read book 1. But I quickly got the gist of the backstory & enjoyed this fun romance. I loved how Max & Dani‘s relationship progressed. And really, what more could you want from a BFF/boyfriend. Seriously, I need a Max. And a Max minimus.

This was just what I needed to read, after the last couple of books that I read were just ok. This was a light, fun read; predictable, yes, but also with some interesting twists; mostly lovable main characters; and all the tropes you'd expect to find in a romcom.

Starting Day 11 of the #WinterReadathon with Duke, Actually- I started it last night, and after two misses on books, I think I've found one I really like! Enjoying my Sunday morning #coffeeandabook with my new favorite flavor!

Side note: FedEx usually delivers here in the afternoon, but my most recent coffee order was delivered this morning before I even made coffee!!

Kid #1 wanted a new cowl/scarf. I had an #Audiosewing session yesterday.

I liked the tagged book. Strong female main character.

Will try to get ahold of the other books in the series.

I was having a hard time getting through many holiday romances this year, but this was a cute festive rom-com that helped pull me out of a bit of a reading slump. I hadn‘t realized this was the second book in a series when I picked it up, and I‘m sure it would‘ve been even better if I read the first book. Still, I had no problem jumping in and thought it held up well on its own.

A very cute romcom with a slow burn that leads to romance. I listened to the audiobook and loved the narration of Stacy Gonzalez. She captured all the accents and characters beautifully! 3.5⭐️

Charming, festive, romantic and funny. Just enough depth to keep it from being too saccharine. Jenny Holiday writes a great Christmas story! +26 points (though at this point, I don‘t seem to be keeping very good track) #wintergames #mistletoemaniacs @Clwojick @StayCurious #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #dashingdecember @Andrew65

I absolutely adored this book. It's a slow burn acquaintances to best friends to lovers. Max and Dani develop such a wonderful relationship over the year, much of it long distance, but they come to depend on each other. They are extremely supportive. One of those books I want to hug. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Out 10/26.

Liatrek I love books that you want to hug❤️ 3y

Duke, Actually is the adorable sequel to A Princess for Christmas. Dani's attitude towards love sets up the perfect friendship for her and Max. The two just want to enjoy their time together escape from their lives for a while. The two continue to get to know each other and bond, they find themselves falling for each other. For me, this book was the equivalent of drinking hot cocoa. It made me feel warm and fuzzy.
