pickHaving discovered Jessica Redland last Christmas and enjoyed her books since, I was keen to jump into this book about Tabby setting up a Cat Cafe, which seems a novel concept. Unfortunately just before opening her partner deserts her and if that isn‘t enough she also is suffering from the debilitating condition of fibromyalgia. There also seem to be people around her that want to stop the cafe opening.
pickThis isn‘t what you‘d expect from the title, it isn‘t a cosy Christmas love story. Romance does figure in a subliminal way but it is quite a hard hitting story set at Christmas about a group of former college friends snowed in for Christmas. I wouldn‘t say the characters are the most lovable characters you could wish to meet but the story does work and both the story and characters grow on you the more you read.

pickA quick read to see me into Christmas Morning, a re-read.
Always surprises me how short this book is.
I think it makes a better film than a book.

pickI absolutely loved this book from the very first page to the very last. This felt like the ultimate feel good book and it had me with a natural smile on my face throughout the book. I had not read the other books in the series but that didn‘t spoil my enjoyment of the book at all - however I will now be wanting to read all the other books in the series.
13th book finished for #DashingDecember

pickThis was a really enjoyable Christmas read covering the story of Eva who has reached a crisis point in her life, following a period of grief and hiding herself away in other things. Suddenly over a Christmas away her gran re-appears to her and this is the cue for ghostly intervention.

pickFirst book finished for #WinterGames, although this was a carry over from November. Book 6 in the excellent William Warwick Series. Once again Miles Faulkner and William Warwick cross swords and this one includes a few different elements, including one linked to the Crown Jewels. Good tension and plotting.

pickMy second book finished for #WinterGames. A short book, but I enjoyed it a lot. A great story about a man and woman who met on a plane grounded by snow, and a drive cross country for them. Loved the characters.
This also meets #RedCover for #WinterGamesDailyPhotoChallenge.

In a house full of girls cinema dates are often of a certain type 😉😂 HOWEVER I put my foot down for this one! Pokemon on the big screen, 7 ⭐️ dine in experience in Dubai and we had the place to ourselves. What a movie 😊 #gottacatchthemall #geekandproud

I felt the story was very well written, and in particular the slow burn of the developing relationship in Tabby‘s life, and found myself rooting for them. I loved the main characters and was very glad to spend some of the Christmas season with them. 11mo
