pickShayla arrives in Ireland with her boyfriend Seamus for Christmas, hoping for a proposal. After meeting Seamus‘ family, his wealthy uncle Alabaster is found murdered at a holiday party. This was pretty cute, and I‘d read more of the series!

pickI held out as long as I could and went ahead and finished this today while I was doing the last of the holiday errands and wrapping. Loved it! I would really like to see an adaptation! This is loosely based on A Christmas Carol, one of my all-time faves, so I had a feeling I would like it.

pickCute holiday read! It‘s the second in the series and I have the third on standby.

pickFun read! A different kind of holiday novel but it really worked. I enjoyed the world that the author built, with each holiday having a royal family. Coal, the prince of Christmas is basically a screw up, and he is pitted against Hex, the Halloween prince, in a fake competition for the hand of the princess of Easter. When Coal finds out the reason for the ruse, he sets out to fix it, and falls for Hex in the process.

A perfect score! Home Alone isn‘t my favorite by far, but I‘ve seen it tons of times, and it is pretty funny. Here is my favorite Kevin quote: “Bless this highly nutritious microwaveable macaroni and cheese dinner and the people who sold it on sale. Amen.” 😂

pickThis is a low pick for me. I think it just dragged in places. And maybe nothing is wrong with the book-perhaps I had built it up in my mind and then it just didn‘t live up to the expectations that I had!

bailed41% in and I‘m bored. There‘s too many other holiday books I can try, so I‘m moving on!
#bookspinbingo
so-soThis was just okay for me. I never really connected with the MC and there were so many characters to keep up with. I was, however, surprised by the killer…didn‘t see it coming!

pickDelilah and Anthony shared a steamy kiss last Christmas, then things got suddenly frosty. This year, they‘re roped into the town‘s Christmas festivities, and they have no choice but to face the miscommunication that happened prior. A sweet romance with a bit of spice!

As you can guess from my score, I guessed at the majority of the questions! The very first one surprised me the most - never in a million years would I have thought that St. Nick was based on a Greek saint. 🤷🏻♀️
It was a fun quiz and I definitely learned some things!

pickFive interconnected short stories in which different people in different stages of life find their way to a small library located in a community center, and all connect with a book that inspires change. Lots of feel-good vibes!

I haven‘t been feeling well and I totally forgot that I bought the Mini Brands Book Advent Calendar…luckily, I saw a couple of posts today and was reminded. 😂
So, I had to play catch up. These are just so cute! It‘ll be fun to see what everybody gets! 🎄
These are my December picks @julieclair - I think they‘ll all be fun!

pickI reread (or listen to) A Christmas Carol every year…I really like Hugh Grant‘s narration!
November was a decent reading month - I meant to read more but a couple weeks of being sick got in the way. 3 bingos though!
#bookspinbingo
Happy December 1st! I‘m ready for a month full of festive reading! 🎄
so-soOkay, the positives were the rural autumn Scottish setting and the LGBTQ+ representation…very awesome! The negatives are that I really didn‘t get invested in the characters and the spice was not very spicy. It just seemed like a lot of potential was missed. So, I didn‘t love it, but I didn‘t hate it either.

pickThis was really cute and the descriptions of all the grilled cheese sandwiches definitely gave me a craving! And I didn‘t see the twist coming at all. There were lots of characters to keep up with and I struggled with that a bit, but this was enjoyable.
