Stories For Winter | British Library

Pickpick

This is an interesting collection of short stories, all from a bygone era, and something of a mixed bag. Some are frustratingly oblique, some are engaging, wistful and charming. I really liked the ones set in New York; The Woman Who Was So Tired was probably my favourite.

Everything was absolutely perfect! I can‘t tell you how excited I am for my new books! (Do I read Rest You Merry now, or save until next year?? We both like to extend the holiday season as long as possible, so it may have to be now!) We love Mr. Putter and Tabby so much, so we were so happy to receive the sledding one - and read it immediately. The puzzle was a hit, as was the fabulous little house FULL of books to put on the shelves!

mabell @Gissy Soph spent a long time carefully organizing them. I didn‘t get the blanket in the photo I think - so cute! And we appreciate you remembering us with turron. Chris gets to be a part of the party too. I may also have to share my pink pen with him - he was pretty taken with it! 😂 ⬇️ 4d
mabell I‘ll enjoy burning the candle, especially while reading (and using my blanket!) The nutcracker bookmarks were LOVELY! So pretty! And Soph is enchanted with the Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Fairy, so they are perfect! ⬇️ 4d
mabell @Gissy And the calendar! We have a “corgi pup” that came from the UK Pavilion in Epcot, so we love the corgi pup calendar! It is sorted daily. Everything was so unique and thoughtful, thank you again my friend and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄❤️🎉 4d
Gissy I‘m so so happy that everyone in the family enjoyed the gifts🥰I have to include something else for Christ next time😂I enjoy choosing items and put them together. Wow, Sophie helped with those tiny books? Amazing her motor fine coordination skills. They should help to calm when we are in stress😊A friend of mine is the responsible that now I‘m obsessed with those bookshelves😂Solovely that all of you liked the gifts! 🥰❤️💚❤️ 2d

Mehso-so

Characters were flat and I couldn't really relate to them. Romance was poorly developed and came from nowhere.

The beginning was just boring, I wasn't afraid/scared. I just needed something more concrete to feel something. I enjoyed this more when some things were revealed.

This also felt like badly edited, I found several illogical scenes/things.

I think this was okay but I have heard so much good of this author and expected more

AnnCrystal Perfect book staging 🌨️📚🌨️💝. 4d

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea They sure do!! It was a strange thing to get used to when I first moved here 😂 3d
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Between elevation levels affecting snowfall and the unrelenting sunshine it sounds like you had a lot to adapt to! 😁 3d
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I did 😂 And now I wouldn't have it any other way! 3d

I've been visiting family in Copenhagen for the holidays and today it snowed. 😍 It truly doesn't get cozier than reading in a Danish winter. (Not pictured: candles, Legos, crosswords, hot chocolate) #hygge

Amiable The light outside is absolutely gorgeous! 🤩 1w

I had a great December reading month, buoyed by days off at the end if the month. I finished 22 books A couple were short stories & the cumulation of a year-long daily read but I also had one chunkster of an audiobook.

I finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR
