Letters From Father Christmas | J.R.R. Tolkien

A quiet Friday night at home is the perfect time for a glass of cranberry wine and a few pages from each of these December reads. I also listened to the next chapter of The Crime at Black Dudley while I made supper.

In the Hand of the Goddess | Tamora Pierce

pick

I‘m really enjoying reading Tamora Pierce‘s Song of the Lioness books for the first time. The writing isn‘t anything special, but the characters and their relationships deepen here in endearing ways. The tone felt a bit odd to me, though—pitched fairly young, while the content feels more mature. Some of that may be due to uneven pacing and some pretty big jumps forward in time, but it still felt off. That said, I did enjoy seeing Alanna grow ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …in confidence, power, and self-knowledge, and I‘m looking forward to the other two books.

This was my 1984 pick for #192025. @librarybelle 1h

Greenteeth | Molly O'Neill

This is such an exciting reading list to receive! I narrowed it down to my top five picks—each one is available at my library and all by authors who are new to me. I‘m starting with Greenteeth, which has been on my TBR for a while. Thank you for the wonderful list, @BookmarkTavern, and an extra big thank you to @monalyisha for all the hard work you‘ve put into making #AuldLangSpine happen! #AuldLangSpine #AuldLangSpine2026

TheBookHippie Pet is so good. 4h

ShyBookOwl I started Greenteeth as an audiobook to sleep too, and it was so good I decided I'm going to listen it in my waking hours instead lol It's now high up on my TBR 2h

Nettle & Bone | T. Kingfisher

pick

Another lovely fairy tale from Kingfisher, this time not a retelling but an original story filled with fairy tale tropes such as evil princes and fairy godmothers. Thoroughly enjoyable. I can always count on T. Kingfisher for a good, reliable read.

ShyBookOwl This was good, but I wish she'd do more horror! The Twisted Ones and The Hollow Places are my faves by her 2h

rachelsbrittain @ShyBookOwl I actually haven't read much of her horror yet! I think A Sorceress Comes to Call or What Moves The Dead is the closest of her books I've read 2h
