The Quest: A Novel | Nelson DeMille
post image

This ebook is on sale right now and it‘s a marvelous read. It‘s the best #letterQ book I‘ve read since doing the #LitsyAtoZ challenge. I highly recommend it and I hope to read it again someday. Definitely an action-packed historical thriller.

Queen Victoria's Christmas | Jackie French, Bruce Whatley

Adorable kids book told from the dog‘s POV about the first time that Queen Victoria had a Christmas tree as a focal point of the holiday. Though it was Prince Albert‘s idea!

I enjoyed the latest installment in this Christmas series. Robin is a burnt out musician visiting his brother for Christmas and meets Ben, the town doctor with two adorable twin girls. They connect immediately but Robin has to learn that his presence isn't poison to those he loves.
This is very much a hurt/comfort story with a lot of healing.

A very good installment in the Inspector Rebus series, in which Rebus investigates a school shooting that involves a family connection.

kwmg40 @Andrew65 @bookaholic1 I agree. I've been reading this series mostly in order so far, though I've had to skip a couple that weren't easily accessible to me, and I appreciate the development of Rebus's character and his relationships with those around him. 4w

A Quilt for Christmas | Sandra Dallas

Pickpick

Eliza and Will have made a lovely home for themselves and their two children in Kansas but when Will goes to fight for the Union against the “seceshes” (secessionists), Eliza must run the farm mostly alone and face life as “just a woman,” in a very man‘s world. She must decide whether to help an escaped slave, how to deal with brutal thugs who would as soon kill her and her kids as look at her, and whether she should let a secesh help her when ⬇️

Texreader stops at her farm on his way west. Meanwhile, her secesh-hating son, not quite grown, is a help but a hindrance. Eliza has her quilting group and her beautiful Christmas quilt, a gift to her husband on the battlefield, is the thread that partly holds the tale together. It‘s a beautiful story with important lessons for recovering from that traumatic war even today. There‘s still so much hate, and this story shows that it doesn‘t have to be ⬇️ 1mo
Texreader that way. I‘m a southern girl with multiple ancestors who fought for the confederacy. They didn‘t own and never owned slaves. Why did they fight? Were they conscripted? Or went to war because their buddies did? Or were there other reasons? I‘ll never know that much, sadly, but I cannot hate them. My gggrandfather walked home from Raleigh after the south surrendered. His tale is miraculous. I‘d like to think he‘s like the “secesh” in this story. ⬇️ 1mo
Texreader I really appreciated reading how this one family found peace. It really made me think a lot about my genealogical research as well as the fact that there‘s still so much pain today. I don‘t know how we ever find peace but I wish it were so, so much. #letterQ #Christmasatoz #xmaschacha #wintergames @StayCurious (edited) 1mo

I enjoyed this fun holiday read. I alternated between the ebook and audiobook and loved the narration. Aunt Cindy and Max were great supporting characters who provided some hilarious moments.

This was a cute holiday novella available on KU and was just what you‘d expect from a cute holiday novella. I like the author and look forward to reading more from her. This gained me a bunch of #WGWordSearch points for #WinterGames2024 Team #XmasChaCha #ChristmasChapterChasers
