pickA bit late for a Christmas read but it‘s not very seasonal. Well written quick read with interesting characters and because of that it‘s not a pan. But the solution fell flat for me. I was unconvinced and disappointed and also not at all surprised. I didn‘t spend too long on it (maybe two sittings) and it wasn‘t a slog to read. I will try more of her books as I liked her style.

pickAhhh this was so good! A sweet, short tale of a man working hard to take care of his family and trying to pay it forward when others want him to look the other way. I know they‘ve made a movie based on this and now I really want to watch it! Might be my favorite of the month so far! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
so-soThis mystery was perfectly fine. A locked room mystery with two writers as main characters, which sounds fantastic, but the writing was just clunky at times. The mystery was fun, it was just something with the characterization that didn‘t quite click. 3⭐️
Who needs Benoit Blanc when you have Maggie and Ethan? Will they find #lastinglove or … something else? #25alive
Hitting the pause button on these two...
Just can't find that Christmas feeling right now, and it seems a shame to continue reading Christmas without feeling the magic of Christmas.
I will return to these reads when the season rolls around again, if not in July.
The season zoomed by way too swiftly, and the world seems too chaotic right now...I need fantasy (the year round kind of fantasy), and Riley Thorn right now.

This was a lovely & sweet read.
It was a tad bit dated, yet it was nice to be back in this decade before the sci-fi reality of today.
Would've liked to see more Angel magical/mysterious scenes.
While C'mas wasn't center stage throughout the storyline, this felt Christmassy. Perhaps knowing Mrs. Miracle was an Angel helped.
Liked how the POV jumped between the characters and enjoyed studying the recipes tucked between some of the chapters.
pickA fun, light, easy read. It took about a chapter to get into but then I rolled right along in the world. Very wholesome and kind. A wonderful choice from my kind benefactor of the #Christmas #holiday book exchange I did last year. Thank you!!
