“When shall we have a little party?”
Carrie and Elfrida looked at each other, because this had not been decided. Then Carrie said, “Saturday. Saturday night is party night.”
“The day before Christmas Eve.” Oscar said, “I shall have to buy some drink.”

Party planning! 🥳

"Life is so extraordinary. Wonderful surprises are just around the most unexpected corners. From where you‘re standing, it may seem a bit bleak and empty, but look at me! I thought I was alone for the rest of my life, in my little geriatric bolt-hole in Hampshire. And the next thing, I‘m in the north of Scotland living with Oscar Blundell.”

Wise words from Elfrida. Audiobook kept me company on Errand Day. ❄️

The Killing Tide | Lin Anderson

Life is giving me a right old drubbing right now. My attempt at a locked room mystery required more brain cells than I have available. But the first 30 minutes of this seem to be very listenable to, so I‘m giving Lin Anderson a go. We‘re on Orkney and in Glasgow. I‘m just hoping it doesn‘t get too graphic/grim. (If anyone‘s read her novels & could give me a gore rating, I‘d be grateful). For now tho‘: Tartan #Noir for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge

Ruthiella Hope life starts treating you better soon. ❤️ I usually just trust that mysteries will make sense at some point and they usually do. 🎄🔪🎅🏻💀 1w
rockpools @Ruthiella There is that. I think it was too slow with too many characters for me to follow it right now. This one I think is faster and more character-driven. We‘ll see! I‘m really enjoying the challenge though - I haven‘t stuck with a book challenge this far for months/years! 1w

This was a cute Christmas romance!

The story was hilarious. The fake dating at Christmas was an entertaining premise. This truly was a romantic comedy. There were so many laugh out loud and crazy moments.

There were also a lot of pop culture references throughout which I enjoyed. They added to the humor of the story.

Arhhhh ☺️the most perfect Christmas 🎄/ December read you could choose. My first by this author and now can‘t wait to read the shell 🐚 seekers . Family sagas are right up my street & this is perfection, the beautiful calm addictive prose, the superb characterisarion, each chapter narrated by a different person, with a cute drawing next to their name a sketch that represented their character - love it !

Bookbuyingaddict The setting in your minds eye in a snowy Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 wonderful ! Cannot recommend it enough for a moment of calm in a crazy busy month . Merry Christmas 🎅 2w
