A Highland Christmas: a cute Christmas Novella with a elderly curmudgeon character who befriends a a lonely young girl.
A time travel Christmas a heartwarming Novella about a granddaughter and grandmother relationship. I love that trope. I was unable to find on Google Books to do my word search numbers.

I just finished watching the new Hallmark movie A Biltmore Christmas. It was a cute movie, of course the scenery was the best part.

Day one of Winter Games

A confirmed bachelor finds love and forgiveness in this clean, regency romance.
It Happened on 5th Avenue a classic #holidaymovie I've never seen before. I would recommend it.

@Emilymdxn #WinterGames #SnowAngels ❄

1 spending time with family, watching the Christmas play at Church, eating all the snacks.

2 seeing what everyone else is reading, the photo challenges.

3 the window seat on a train would be amazing, I'm usually in my recliner under a blanket.

Wishing everyone in the US the happiest of Thanksgivings.

@TheBookHippie
This was an interesting pair that I read back to back.
I never realized the mom was the villain the first edition.
The True Story of Hansel and Gretel was a unique retelling set during World War II. It was dark, twisted, and disturbing. I'm still not sure how I feel about it.

3🌟 #BookedInTime Canada 1800 to 1950 @Cuilin @dabbe
Two women tell stories of their journey on the Underground Railroad. Unfortunately, I could not keep the stories straight. I listened to this on Audible while at work, which made it even harder. I would not recommend this one. The summary sounded good, but it just wasn't for me.

4🌟
I decided to go back through some of my books that I received in swaps. I'm so glad I finally read this Beauty and the Beast retelling! it's been 4 years since I received it. #betterlatethannever

@RosePressedPages thank you for my wonderful, cozy fall package. That hand soap smells amazing! The mysteries are great for this time of year. I love it all.

Also, a huge thank you to our hosts. @Avanders @Chrissyreadit #FFFS #FallingForFallSwap

Posting for @megnews The read along for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will need to be postponed. Sorry for any inconvenience.

4.5 🌟 for both books #BookedInTime World War II @Cuilin @dabbe
#MiddleGrade
I didn't know Torpedoed was a nonfiction book, so I decided to read Lifeboat 12 as well. Both books were excellent. I had never heard of the story the children ship before. Such a tragedy!

4🌟
#BookedInTime World War II @Cuilin @dabbe
I chose this as an Amazon first pick a few years ago. It interesting to read a story set in the Philippines. I hope there will be more World War 2 books written set in the Pacific Theater.

#FFFS #FallingForFallSwap @Avanders @Chrissyreadit
My package has arrived. I'm excited!🎉🍂🍁

@Avanders @Chrissyreadit #FallingForFallSwap
My package has been sent and is due to arrive Monday.

#BookedInTime World War II @Cuilin @dabbe

This is fantastic historical fiction, based on the author's own family. I enjoyed the multiple POV's showing how they each escaped the Nazis/Russians during the war.

Does anyone else have this at their Library this month? It's a whole selection of books about books and libraries. I just requested several.💻📚📖🎧

3⭐ #BookedInTime World War II
I thought this was a fascinating topic, unfortunately this book was dull. It was like reading a soap opera. I do want to read the nonfiction book about this. (The Girls of Atomic City) @Cuilin

@Cuilin @dabbe I have so many World War II books. I definitely plan on reading the three adult books in September. After that, I will throw in the middle grade novels, if I'm not tired of this time period by then. #BookedInTime #WorldWarII

@AmyG. Thank you for my chocolatey package! I love all the things: the mug, chocolate bomb, milk chocolate ChapStick, milk chocolate candy, Donut sticky notes, bookmark, and last but not least the books!

@DinoMom @Chrissyreadit Thanks to both of you for hosting again this year!

⭐⭐⭐⭐
#BookedInTime -Ancient Roman civilization August 2023 @Cuilin
Beautifully written, it was a hard read at times, with a brutal ending. 😭 I enjoyed learning more about the the siege of Masada in ancient Israel 70 to 73 AD.

Well, I just sent off one swap package, why not do another one. @Chrissyreadit @Avanders #FallingForFallSwap 🎉🍁🍂🌰🐿🦃🍎

@AmyG. Your #staycationintime swap package has been sent. Due to arrive: 08/15/23.📦🎊
@DinoMom @Chrissyreadit

It's here @AmyG ! 🎉 I plan on putting yours in the mail this weekend. #StaycationInTime swap @DinoMom @Chrissyreadit

#ChristmasInJuly @Littlewolf1 @Roary47
The 5th and last in the series. Eve and Patrick are a great couple. I've really enjoyed their time travel adventures.

Thimble Summer pub.1938 was a wholesome, sweet read 4.5⭐#childrensclassicread @TheBookHippie
Three Strike Summer 3.5⭐ pub 2022 #MiddleGradeMarchBuddyRead on YouTube; enjoyable, but so many heavy adult themes and topics were in this book.

It was interesting to read these back to back. Both were about young, head strong girls set in the Depression era. Yet, they were so different because of when they were published.

3 ⭐#ChristmasInJuly @Roary47 @Littlewolf1
This could have been such a cute story because I love the friends to lovers trope. Unfortunately, the female main character absolutely ruined it.
#BookedInTime @Cuilin
4⭐ an informative read about the plague in London 1665-1667 I thought it was historical fiction, but it read more like nonfiction to me. Hopefully, that still counts.

#ChristmasinJuly @Roary47 @Littlewolf1 I'm listening to the audiobook of Oranges for Christmas. There's only an hour left, and so far, there's no Christmas. It is a good book for historical fiction, middle grade fans. It's very similar to A Night Divided.
I finished the Great Fire of London for #bookedintime I was somewhat disappointed, too short and dry. I have several more books for 17th century Britain. @Cuilin

#midyearfaves
#Bestof2023sofar
I picked one per genre. I will tag in the comments what are your favorite books so far this year? Tag a few friends. @megnews @BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks @suvata

I've decided on at least four Christmas books next month. #ChristmasInJuly @Roary47 @Littlewolf1

My #BookedInTime plans include the tagged book and three nonfiction for 17th century Britain. I'm starting off with a time travel, historical fiction set in multiple centuries: The Outcast Of Time. I thought it fit the overall theme really well. @Cuilin

5⭐
Well, I didn't see that coming... if you want to book that will keep you guessing this is it. My first novel by this author and I'm looking forward to reading more.

#BookReport @Cinfhen
My report is basically for the entire month of May. This month was all about reading books set in the south. Seven of my 11 books were for the #SouthernCharm readathon on booktube. I also continued the #LittleHouse series with a favorite, The Long Winter. @megnews #Maywrapup

#SouthernCharm This is a booktube readathon hosted by BookLoverAmanda and several co-hosts that I'm planning on participating in. Go check her YouTube channel for more information. I want to pick mostly Southern novels next month. #MayTBR
