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!

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

Woke up to a read all day day😁

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
