First book finished for the #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew readathon. One of my #Roll100 picks for December & part of my attempt to make my way through the books of T. Kingfisher. I really enjoyed this story of a 14-year-old wizard (Mona) who bakes & needs to use her bread magic to save her city. It was fun & while YA, has adult enough humor & good messages about power & heroes & the need to act to right wrongs.💜

This was a great book to read uninterrupted during a holiday break. I‘m not sure this kind of small town really exists but I enjoyed how the main character, a bit of a fish out of water, found a home in this one. My favorite secondary character was the grumpy owner of the inn.

I loved this GBBO-inspired book so much!! The PERFECT cozy holiday read for me (it doesn‘t exclusively take place around the holidays, but the Christmas bits were great). Plentiful and detailed recipe descriptions and such a sweet story in all the ways. Great audio narration, too.

Cute story!

I‘m cheating a bit, but March was an excellent reading month for me. I had three 5-star reads—books that I met at the right time, exactly when I needed them.

I adored Mrs. Quinn. The Collected Regrets of Clover was simply beautiful. North Woods was so different from my typical reading, but I find myself thinking about the book (and the other two as well). #12BooksOf2024

It's not too late to begin holiday baking is it?

Went to town making cookies this year! Chocolate gingerbread and Finnish cardamom (thanks to @Bookwormjillk !) modified to be GF and dairy-free, sugar & spice, snickerdoodles, and no-bakes modified from my great-grandma's recipes to be GF and dairy-free, and sugar cutouts filled with gluten and butter at a decorating station (not pictured).

A sweet quick read graphic novel about baking and romance. Igor liked it too 🐱🩵

Decisions, decisions! I could be happy with nothing but chocolate chip cookies for the rest of my life, but I also like…
1. Peanut butter cookies (love the fork marks)
2. Walnut snowball cookies
3. Snickerdoodles
Plus I want to TRY pistachio cookies, cinnamon palmiers, red velvet whoopie pies…..
My score is 37/75
