I'm unlikely to make my GR target this year of 155 books read. However I'm hoping to equal 2024's 151. So there's a few slender books 📚 coming into play.

The bloodshot eyes of the detective met hers, the lines in his face carved even deeper than they had been when they'd first met.

It's actually from Jo's latest book A Disappearing Act but it's not listed on Litsy yet.

My holiday book blurb!
As a corporate workaholic I returned to my small town for the holidays, got stuck in a window display, and fell in love with a dazzling reindeer veterinarian.

It‘s nine months since I hit 11,000, now passed 15,000. Many Littens have much higher totals, but I‘m enjoying watching mine grow steadily. I enjoy #firstlineFridays and #whereareyouMonday as a fun way to record my reads, and the monthly challenges help to uncover forgotten titles on my shelves.
It‘s a great community.
