#12Booksof2025 @TheEllieMo December 🎄
Tagged: Christmas By the Book by Anne Marie Ryan
It wouldn't be December without me reading my favorite Christmas book. A cozy bookshop, Christmas season, the English Isles, what could be better? A must for any bookworm. 📚

My November #12BooksIn2025 pick. Another book about books and found family. I loved this one!

@TheEllieMo

For the most part this was a very good read. an interesting concept with excellent character and story development. For me the only detractor was the vulgar and blasphemous language. While not steeped in it, it was frequent enough to lower the level of the dialog. I can never understand the reason why some feel such language is necessary. Perhaps that is why I prefer the classics.

My 2025 reading stats. 190 books read. 11 reading challenges completed.

Wending my way through lots of Christmas reads this month. Really enjoying this one. Sir Murray says hope your day has been a great one too! He got a GIANT bone!

Not a lucky pick for #foodandlit
What a drag...nothing happens, there is no coherent story or theme, the number of names and characters is completely insane and all of this is normal for someone's diary, but why would anyone publish this and expect anyone else to be able to follow.
Not everything a poet writes is poetry. It really feels like a grab for money and saving on editing if any was done at all.

Last month, I conquered a #deathtower in this very spot. I don't know what happened. 🤣
I actually blame my mother. When I was little, she had to run some errands. She bribed my sister and I and told us if we didn't fight, we could have a treat at the end of the trip. We were very good, and then we stopped at the bookstore. I couldn't decide, so my mom let us each get 3 books. When we got in the car, she thanked us for behaving, ⬇️

As I had already read up to page 128 a year ago,I picked up from there this month. My favorite stories,each one unique, are: The suspenseful My Object All Sublime (Anne Perry); the twisted The 74th Tale (Jonathan Santlofer; the reflective The Lesson of the Season (Thomas H.Cook; the romantic Cold Reading( Charles Ardai).
