I missed #FridayHappyReadingHour yesterday but this morning I am enjoying my coffee and listening to the sound of the rain with the slider open.

I am ready to finish up the tagged for #NancyDrewBR as well as Parrot and Olivier for #OffMyShelf and #10beforetheend today.

Later, after errands and my parents, I will crack in to my pile for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge.

#5JoysFriday

1)Poe & Em catching sunshine on a cold day
2) sun setting at work last evening

3. Star: famous lead detective—Taken at the Flood (Poirot)
5. Advent calendar: short stories—Partners in Crime
7. Sleigh: set on transport (train, boat, etc.)—Destination Unknown (there‘s a plane on the cover; it MUST be set on transport, right?!)

@Ruthiella and anyone else joining in the #christmascrimechallenge ❄️🌟🎁🎅🎄

Please excuse the voice / face. I am still sick 🤒

I actually finished this yesterday, but I‘m still gonna use it for the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge which starts today 😀

6. Snowflake: set during winter/in snow
The action starts during a storm in mid December, then it continues through the solstice and the Christmas holidays. There‘s not much snow, but it‘s definitely cold and dark and…mysterious.

@Ruthiella has made us a lovely Bingo board too for #christmascrimechallenge ❤️🦌❄️🐙🍷🎁🌟🎅🎄

Here‘s a bingo board if that‘s a preferable method of keeping track.
