My best friend loaned me this book, and now I'm on Thriftbooks finding a copy for me. Such a sweet, positive book for all ages.

Can't remember when I picked this one up, but it's starting off well. Has anyone read the Bibliophile Mystery series? Is it good? I'm always up for a cozy bookish mystery-bonus if it's Christmas related.

I have 2 of this series that are Christmas themed and adore them both. I'm going to make it a goal for #serieslove2026 to read all of them. Cozy mystery with British Royal mentions is right up my alley.

It's not Christmas to me without these little trees and poinsettia flower Spritz cookies #holidayreceipe 🍪 #DashingthruDecember @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

#WDNCW We do not care about whatever you had going on. A quick text or phone call at the least, to tell my sweet little girl (whom you've said you care about) Happy Birthday isn't too much to ask. She had a great birthday regardless, but that annoyed me, and hurt me on her behalf. Do better.

Every Christmas morning as far back as I can recall, my folks would put the 1966 version of The Grinch on the TV while we were waiting for the family to arrive. It wasn't Christmas quite yet without having watched this delightful classic.
