It‘s my birthday month!! Yay free book!
I went for Andromeda because the subject matter sounds interesting - about a publishing house, and for Isaac‘s song because Daniel Blacks earlier BOTM book Don‘t Cry for Me was my favourite read of 2022. So moving it made me cry!

Don't Cry for Me
I just wrote to @Hooked_on_books that #botm is that good-kisser ex I keep slithering back to and always feel a bit ick about. My main issue with them is the whole main pick versus add-on thing. I thought Rats or Maddy would be a main pick, but I had to rejoin to find out they weren‘t. 😡🙄 But I loved Daniel Black‘s last book, so I rolled with this box. Plus I hate that you have to be a “friend” to get a decent add-on price. Sigh. #botm
Had to convince myself to keep my #BOTM box to two choices for January. I‘m definitely going to pick up a few others on audio or through Libby! Lots of great choices to kick off 2025! 🥳
pickThis one took me a bit to get into, but it did start to pick up mid way through. Alderton has a nice blend of introspection and humor in her writing that makes her characters feel real.
Soft pick. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickPerfect time to read this book! I‘ve never read a cozy mystery let alone a cozy mystery romance, and I can see the appeal. This was very cute and I breezed right through it which is just what I needed this week to decompress. Really don‘t love the cover, though. #botm
pickI really liked this one even with all of Andy‘s hapless male foundering. It was funny, smart, and I loved all the British-isms. But the ending just floored me and turned this from a 3-star to a very high 4-star read. #botm
This new release is a #kindledailydeal today for $2.99 if you haven‘t picked it up yet.
I already have it as a #botm selection but I did get these four other books.
There are a lot more holiday themed books on sale today as well.
pickSorry @StayCurious ! I hit 100 pages and couldn‘t put it down! I‘m like that with a nice cozy mystery. Plus, this was a lot of fun with the romance plot. Thanks for picking this book for a read along because I might not have prioritized otherwise. It‘s definitely a fun book! #BOTM 🎄 ❄️
so-soThere were some tidbits here and there that I found enlightening, but largely this was about the friendship of the two authors. I‘d recommend for fans of podcast and/or friendship shows more than someone looking for and in depth look at the psychology of friendship.
