My youngest son surprised me with this neon light as a “Mom, you‘re almost done with grad school,” present.
Many thanks to Kensington Books for sending me this advanced reading copy of a new cozy mystery series.
pickA story of redemption, forgiveness and family. Where you come from influences who you are in the present. A wonderfully written story with a diverse cast of characters. Highly recommend!
Book 4/100 of the year.
Book 3/100 of the year.
pickThis is the newest book in the latest Coffee Loft Series. It is a delightfully sweet age gap, insta-love, romance with the two main characters of Arielle and Stallone newly broken up from previous relationships. I loved the banter between the two and the sweetness in Stallone when it came to Arielle. Thank you, JP Sterling for another winner in the series and you will fall in love with these MCs.
Book 2/100 of the year.
pickHow to read a book, according to “How To Read a Book”: slowly – savoring the story, the “meanwhile”, the turn of phrase that makes you catch your breath just a little. The characters were so relatable and I felt like I would want to meet them and call them friends. So thoughtfully written and full of soul filled moments that make you think about life, love and the beauty of human connection.
Book 1/100 of the year.

My Goodreads year in review.
Final book of 2024. Book 260.
The third in the series is set in Redwood Grove in northern California. Ellie Alexander creates such wonderful towns with great characters. I'm really enjoying getting to know the characters more in each story and seeing their development as people. Great series and can't wait for more books!
I completed the Kindle Year End Reading Challenge.
I enjoy receiving these bookmarks as I complete each challenge. Do you do these kindle reading challenges?
My BN #bookhaul sale books. I have had these cookbooks on my wish list so when I saw that hardbacks were 1/3 off and I had gift cards, I went to BN and grabbed them.
My one friend gave this blanket and tote for Christmas.
We didn‘t do a lot of presents this year as we adopted two families. We decided to only do stockings and we had a limit of $50. However, my sons surprised me this morning with a bag of books, bookmarks and mugs! They said that some of the books came from a used bookstore and everything else was on sale.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.
Happy Jolabokaflod! I will be reading and eating chocolate all day until I need to make dinner and get ready for evening Mass.
Thank you @jdiehr for this amazing #Jolabokaflod package! I squealed with delight when I saw the cookbook and your note. The little paper poinsettias and chocolate are perfect! From one GG lover to another, Thank you!!!😊
I got all these books At McKays used book store for seven dollars.
I‘m starting this tonight with the #littensloveromance. Hemingway is fascinated by Goofy.
Tonight, I went to the Spicy Night book swap at @mentbevco in Durham. They had book-inspired drink flights, a book swap and diy bookmarks along with food.
So fun and I saw some library colleagues there too!
I received my Jolabokaflod package today. Thank you @jdiehr and @MaleficentBookDragon !
