In the ruins of a haunted medieval abbey, four musicians hope to tap into the site's dark historyan experience that almost destroys themThirteen years ago on a cold December night, a rock band called The Philosophers Stone gathered in the ancient ruins of an abbey to record their new album.The evening ended in bloodshed and death. Now, the tapes from that fateful recording session have been released as The Black Album, and the scattered members of the band know it's time for a reunion. Time to return to that dark December nightfor one final performance.

I am happy with my December Wrap Up! 🎉📚🎉 I read 23 books over the month which is more than my norm. Extra days off, readathons & audiobooks added to the total. I finished all my buddy reads for various events & read most of what was on my December TBR althoygh books were added & swapped out as I remain a mood (or moody) reader! 😉

Standout favorites were Bookshops & Bonedust & Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat although I enjoyed most everything I read.💚

kspenmoll Congratulations!!!!!!🎉 3mo

Repost for @Andrew65

How can it been the middle of December already 🙈So busy recently not had a chance to post for the #DashingDecember Readathon!

Starts Saturday & like always choose your own goals, whatever they may be! Very informal for those that haven‘t played along before - decide what your own goals & post saying what those goals are, or what you are hoping to read. But we know that can change according to mood.

Andrew65 Thanks for sharing 🥰 3mo

Not going to lie, I do have some FOMO around not participating in the #WinterGames fun but as much as I enjoyed #Scarathlon it‘s going to be busy at work & I need a gentler holiday. I‘ll be joining in on several buddy reads & some of the #NaturalLitsy #MidwinterSolace events

Here is my December TBR: some lighter books, cozies, thrillers & a couple of holiday-ish books. I‘ll be knocking out my #BOTM challenge & sneaking in some #SeriesLove2023 ⬇️

Here‘s my December progress so far! A good chunk of these were novellas, comics, or graphic novels, which helps me get through so many. I‘m still reading the last two, and hope to finish a minimum of 6 by the end of the month so my annual count will be 1000!

Thanks to @Andrew65 @DieAReader and @GHABI4ROSES for hosting #Winterthon this year, as it‘s helped me give that final push for 2022!

Here‘s a belated summary of what I read in December. I listened to a bunch of easy audiobooks since I was stitching lots of Christmas gifts. As I posted previously, Takei was definitely my favorite of the month. The Seed Keeper was a total #blameitonlitsy read and I wound up buying a copy for my bf‘s mom since she loves gardening and reading. A very decent month, all told!

I started making a #DecemberChill playlist but then I remembered New Found Glory‘s new Christmas album just came out today and it‘s perfection 👌 Also Spotify rudely removed the 1998 Tooth and Nail Happy Christmas compilation so I couldn‘t add one of my favorites which is Five Iron Frenzy‘s cover of You Gotta Get Up by Rich Mullins. #MusicalMatters

https://youtu.be/7MqOui0znuM

Cinfhen I‘m excited to listen to this playlist 🎵even though I‘m Jewish, I enjoy Christmas music…..but not in October #petpeeve 😉💚♥️💚 2y

Can anyone else relate? I‘ve been sick all weekend (finally starting to feel better today, though!), so that has definitely added to this feeling of malaise that always happens between Christmas and New Years.

Tove_Reads Let‘s see if I have to read Sansom in Finnish this time. Well, better than not reading it at all! I‘ll also read I am the Messenger, and if I can get ahold of the Bridge, but I doubt I will. Maeve, naturally as well! 5y
