I spent my entire Sunday reading this book, and I‘m not mad at all. Another good psychological thriller from FM. Just when you think you‘ve figured it out, wrong there‘s an insane twist coming!! Book #5 in 2025

The Last Collection: A Novel of Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel | Jeanne Mackin

So these are all the books I got for my bookish #adventcalendar 🙌🏻

I have only read 1 of these 👍🏻
Several are hardcovers 👍🏻
At first blush, many seem to be historical fiction - I could be wrong - and I‘m iffy on that. That‘s not my usual genre. We‘ll see.
🤷🏻‍♀️
Many are set in Pacific Rim/Asian countries. Which was part of the draw for me 👍🏻

Overall, I‘m looking forward to many of these books.
Glad I did this.

Ruthiella Nice pile of possibilities! I‘ve read and enjoyed the Atkinson title. 👍 4w

Sweettartlaura @Ruthiella I am split on that series. I loved 1 & 3, loathed 2 & 4 🤷🏻‍♀️. I was ok with walking away from it … but now I just happen to have #5 💁🏻‍♀️😜. So I guess I‘ll have to give it a try 😉 4w

Ruthiella Interesting! I‘ve enjoyed them all, but 3 is perhaps my favorite

The Christmas Guest | Peter Swanson

Book 8 read this month. Short novella (96 pages). Two time lines: past, Ashley Smith, an American student, her experiences when was invited by a college “friend” Emma Chapman‘s, to spend Christmas at her house. There Ashley will fall in love and will know about a crime recently committed in the area. Present time, Ashley diary is read by someone. How these 2 time lines are connected?
I really liked the twists that occurred here. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) That ending remind me at some point The Kind Worth Killing but the conclusion is for those who liked Behind Her Eyes which I didn‘t like much. So I have mixed feelings with this story but I liked the way it was developed. 3/3.5⭐️ 4w

The Nightmare Before Kissmas | Sara Raasch

so-so

Book 7 read this month. Unpopular opinion. There were parts I really liked in this story, friendship and the relationship between Nicholas and Kris. The romance was cute but I think Nicholas was too dramatic in some parts. Didn‘t like much the plot. Maybe I was expecting too much from this novel. Didn‘t like much as I expected. But maybe I will try book 2?🤷🏽‍♀️2.5/3⭐️

BookishMadHatter I'm reading this right not and am a little over half done. I find myself a little bored, like maybe the plot it trying too hard or there's a little too much filler dragging things out but at the same time I don't necessarily want to dnf... it's strange 4w

BarkingMadRead I liked the story but I hated that Santa was such an asshole. It hurt my heart 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4w

Gissy @BarkingMadRead You are right, maybe in the second book the image change for something positive 🤞 4w

Misery | Stephen King

pick

Book 6 read on December. What was this?? 😳I watched the movie, the old one, long time ago but this is the first time I read the book. As always Mr. King described so well the characters and the atmosphere. It was like watching everything, so dysfunctional, pathological, macabre, horrid. Do you think there are fans like that out there?🤔🫣😟

Love this old edition. 4⭐️
