@AmyG what a wonderful holiday gift bundle, thank you so much! The tagged is going right on my #AuthorAMonth shelf, great choice! I saw Alice Winn at TX Book Fest a few years ago and have wanted to read In Memoriam ever since. And Sleeping Giants has been on my TBR a while too. I laughed so much reading the Judgy Fish stickers, and I love the lobster cards! You‘re so thoughtful. Big holiday hugs (and I hope you‘ve gotten some snow by now.) ❤️💚❤️

Soubhiville Oh and the capybara bookmark matches The Reformatory perfectly! I‘m going to leave it on the cover to use when I read it. 🤎 6h

Chelsea.Poole Wow, great bundle. I LOVED In Memoriam. I still think about that book. 6h

AmyG You are so welcome. Merry Christmas!!! And no snow. Our weatherman says maybe rain today….which is BAD. I feel for everyone who makes a living in this area as this ski season, so far, is the worst I‘ve ever seen. 5h

Soubhiville @AmyG Wow I can‘t believe you haven‘t had any! I feel like most years you have it earlier than anyone I know. 🤞it‘s on its way soon. I can‘t imagine having a job that relies on the weather. 😔 5h

TheBookHippie @AmyG rains came and washed ours away too!!! So unreal! 5h

TheBookHippie @Soubhiville happiest Christmas to you! 5h

JamieArc If you like Sleeping Giants and continue with the next book, the audiobook is really good. 2h

No Title | None

My #AuldLangSpine stack! Subbing for The Last Unicorn, which I've read many times, are The Last Unicorn: The Lost Story and/or In Calabria.

PuddleJumper I keep looking at Scythe. I've had it recommended so many times.

IWTV is such a nostalgic comfort read for me. 20h

willaful @PuddleJumper Words I did not expect to see. 😂 20h

shortsarahrose I hope you enjoy the reads! 19h

Amiable I wasn‘t consistent this year but I did do a few so I filled it out 😬 1d

Soubhiville @Amiable I wasn‘t consistent either! 😆 That‘s totally ok, it‘s meant to be no pressure. And that‘s why I do a random draw from everyone who completed at least one book, that way everyone has a chance for a prize! 1d

dariazeoli Yay! I was just trying to remember if I completed my form yesterday 1d

Jess Just submitted my form. Thanks so much for doing this for us every year. Happy Holidays! 1d

AmyG Thank you for doing this great challenge! 1d

Hemlock & Silver | T. Kingfisher

pick

Loved it, as expected. A delightful Snow White rewrite where Snow is an ancillary character to an adult lady poison expert. Light romance, creepy mirror world, on-its-head fairytale retelling? Yes, please. And I stand by my comp to Robin McKinley for this book, too.

Karisa Oooh, so glad it‘s good. I‘m reading it next month for #AuthorAMonth (Libby willing) 😊 2d

Inheritance: The Lost Bride Trilogy #1 | Nora Roberts

pick

A delightful story! A young woman, having just cancelled her wedding, starts anew in an old mansion on the coast of Maine, and meets an attractive single lawyer in town. Sounds like a typical romance but I love the ghostly twist. The mansion is haunted by many ghosts, one of whom is the epitome of evil. Sonya must decide whether to accept this inheritance and learn to live in this unusual reality. I‘ve already started book 2. #authoramonth

Random in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel | J. D. Robb

pick

Solid police procedural thriller - set in a fictional future version of NYC. I haven‘t read anything else in this In Death universe and this is book #58 - so clearly a lot of character connection that I arguably missed not reading the others, but the author does a decent job of giving you the gist even if you‘re coming in cold. I definitely walked away enjoying Eve…and hunky Roarke.

It gave me The Closer vibes. 🥹 #AuthorAMonth

BookishMarginalia One of my favorite series, and definitely among my top partnerships! 3d

Melismatic @BookishMarginalia I get why! They are very shippable lol 3d

Echoes in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel (in Death, Book 44) | J D Robb

I gave up this series about 10 years ago & there are around 20 new books in it. 😳 For #AuthorAMonth I picked up where I left off. It's a good, readable story of but I can't say I can really get behind a cop heroine and billionaire hero these days. Throw in a lot of sexual violence and a nasty prison rape comment and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to catch up with the missing 20 plus however many new ones there are since I started that sentence.

Soubhiville Understandable, and I‘m with you. 3d
