The picture doesn‘t do the holographic cover justice; it‘s so pretty 😍
I got this book from the wonderful @wanderinglynn when she had her #49bdaygiveaway! I am one of three lucky winners to get some #bookmail!!!
I can‘t wait to read it! 📕
Many might not know his name, but may have heard his voice! Simon Vance has narrated many an #audiobook from the Temeraire series to the Aubrey/Maturin series to the Dune series! His voice is grand in style, comfortable in both male and female voices and dialects. When I listen to his stories I‘m transported inside the narrative thanks to his voice.
His in-house recording studio burned along with his house in the Eaton, California fires. ⬇️

Two are on my TBR!
Love love love this show!
It‘s available for seven day checkout on #hoopla!!!
And they wrote a couple books based off the tv show and movies of the same name!!!
I spotted a fun number in my Litfluence!
#WinterGames2024 #xmaschacha #ChristmasChapterChasers
My final count of points is 280.
I wasn‘t able to post as much as I wanted , but I still had fun during the games!
Already LOVIN January‘s book club pick! Very relatable for me, which makes it super touching.
And the main character loves the 2005 P&P like I do! 🥰
#ReadYourKindle and other ebook apps!
I wrote down my 1 through 20!
I can‘t wait to see what numbers are called for January 2025!
My goal is to read at least one book from this list, as I‘m part of two book clubs, and I can only read three books a month.

From my older sister I got a loose leaf tea from Chapters Tea & Coffee; a local Michigan ✋🏻 company!!! It‘s called A Dance with Mr. Darcy ❤️

I thought there was a challenge for a recipe and then trying it out. Now I can‘t find the original post.
Here‘s a “snowglobe” drink and the recipe. Super easy - my kind of cocktail!
I‘m finally able to read my Christmas themed books! (Had another one that took forever to read, which delayed me.)
Love me a good pirate 🏴☠️ romance by Lady Katherine Bone!
Marrrry Christmas, Littens! 📚🎄🎁📖❤️💚⛪️🙏🏻

Here‘s an attainable race for all us sit down book readers!

I‘ll be signing up! A great way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of her birth next year.
#HitchToScreen
I am so glad I finally read this one (actually listened to it)!
It was moody, atmospheric, riveting, fast paced, emotional. It had me second guessing who was “good” and “evil.” Like Mary I shouldn‘t doubt myself.
The ending was super touching ❤️ As persons we long for a human connection, not just ties to the land.
This is my third du Maurier story and I‘ve loved them all!!! (Rebecca and Frenchman‘s Creek)
Met and surpassed my #GoodReads reading goal! And I‘m still adding to it 🥰 It was a good year for book club picks and readalongs!

Let‘s see if we can get through A to Z!

This is what the kitchen looks like. Gifts received, decorations thrown on the table, half done trees, gifts to be wrapped.

Maggie Dawson couldn‘t wait for Thanksgiving to be over, so she could start the Christmas season in earnest. All she needed was a real tree and she knew just the corner lot to get it from. She was going to select the perfect specimen!
Gary Davies hated Christmas. Every year he was stuck at the family‘s tree lot, hauling trees for happy families. He wished at times he could be selected and go to a good home.

Started this #Audiobook today for the #HitchToScreen #buddyread! Been on my TBR for some time, so glad of the excuse to finally read it!
This was another romantic addition to The Rake Review series!
Sadly we didn‘t find out who the Brazen Belle was, the person writing the gossip column.
But, it appears like more rakes will find love in 2026!
Happy Thanksgiving, Littens! 🦃
#WinterGames2024 #ChristmasChapterChasers #Xmaschacha #EarlyBird
This is one of the books to be read in December. It‘s the next book club pick.
#WinterGames2024 #ChristmasChapterChasers #xmaschacha #earlybird
This or That
HOT CHOCOLATE or eggnog
Open presents on Xmas EVE OR day
STAR or angle tree topper
TURKEY OR HAM or Chinese food
Travel or STAY HOME
The writing style on this one was interesting, omniscient 3rd person into six people‘s POV in the same chapter.
I wasn‘t quite sold on the main romance. I thought the man bullied her into the relationship and forced her hand into progressing things rapidly.
There were plenty of touching moments. And a century‘s old ghost haunting the house. Who is she and why does she haunt.
I‘m reading Oliver Twist for book club. Saw this sponsored ad come up in my Facebook feed.
I‘m not sure I even knew there was a season one!
Let‘s see if anyone can guess the book!
Feyre and Tamlin
I can‘t pass them up. Must look even if they don‘t appear to be my type of read. 📚
I‘m looking for to #WinterGames2024!
First time participant, so I‘m hoping to bring my team, #ChristmasChapterChasers headed by @StayCurious , some points next month!
Started this #audiobook for Victorian Book Club discussion in December.
Already I have the songs from the musical Oliver! playing in my head! ☺️
Returned the #audiobooks via #hoopla
This was an enjoyable book! Totally loved the “Beauty and the Beast” vibes.
The romance was heartwarming 💘
Believable characters, liked their flaws, and how they still had hope
A lot of tragedy is experienced by the characters, yet they still live with the pain and seek justice
I‘ll continue the series. I hear book two is the best of them.
OMG this city in the book is just 11 miles away or a half hour car ride away!
Sadly, the novel is now in Tennessee.
I‘ll be starting this book.
It will be my first ever time reading a Nora Roberts book!
My coworker who owns physical copies of all the Nora Roberts books (but not really the JD Robb ones), recommended this one to me.
Do you agree?
I‘m looking forward to reading a book by one of romances most notable authors!

NEW cover design alert for #PrideAndPrejudice fans at #BarnesAndNoble!!!
For sure it will be added to my PnP collection! ☺️
