Twelve Dates of Christmas | Jenny Bayliss

so-so

#HolidayReads Print Stack. I'd really like to finish all these and then will decide what to keep and what donate to my friends or Library. Need to make some space for the new year. I think I can fit 4 more in during the #12daysofbookmas.

As for tagged book - Didn't like friend to love interest Matt. I really wanted Lumberjack Beard from Date 4 to be the HEA. Definitely not a #forevershelf read

ravenlee I really disliked Matt. And I felt really cheated, because what was the whole point of the twelve dates gimmick if it was just going to be the friend?! 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @ravenlee and now I‘m hoping I'm not really disappointed that I bought her newest book

A Season for Second Chances

ravenlee Well…her characters were vivid, and there were some generally funny moments…so as long as the MC doesn‘t miraculously end up back with her ex, maybe there‘s a chance for the new one? 🤞🏻 2y

Jane and the Twelve Days of Christmas | Stephanie Barron

pick

Loved how this Jane Austen Mystery begins on Christmas Eve & plays out over 12 Days of Christmas, ending w/ a 12th Night Ball. I've been reading matching day since Christmas Eve. Good solid mystery. Favorite thing - Jane & Cassandra giving their niece fancy outfits for her doll for each of 12 Days. I visited Jane's Hampshire in September, would truly love to see it during the Holidays.#wishfuldreaming #twelfthnight #janeite #12daysofbookmas

Peterson's Holiday Helper: Festive Pick-Me-Ups, Calm-Me-Downs, and Handy Hints to Keep You in Good Spirits | Valerie Peterson

I love this little book. Great cocktails for every Holiday Event/ Chore from Thanksgiving to Ephinany My favorite is Cold Remedy. I make anytime I'm feeling a bit under the weather or overwhelmed in the Winter. Switch out the Chicken Broth to Veggie Broth to make it Vegetarian.

Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe | Melissa de la Cruz

After busy New Year's Celebrations it's lovely to have a quiet day at home. I've got the book but haven't yet read it. Movie has been on DVR since Thanksgiving. I refuse to watch Christmas movies in November.
What do ya'll think? #movievsbook

PurpleyPumpkin I‘m with you, I like to read the book first! 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @PurpleyPumpkin The movie was just a bunch of sappy clichés with fake snow. Ugh! Hopefully book is better. But it has lots of pans so Im not expecting much. 5y

PurpleyPumpkin Ugh, that‘s so disappointing. Well, the book is usually better, but I had no idea it had so many pans. I‘ve had this one on hold for a while. Maybe I should give it a pass.... I‘ll wait for your review. 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @PurpleyPumpkin The only similarities between book & movie is the Title, Girl named Darcy goes home, & both equally bad. It's like comparing bad apples to bad oranges. I'll tag you when I have a chance to a review. 5y

New Year's Day | Edith Wharton

I'm #offtobedfordshire with one of the few New Year's Day books by renowned author. It was a bit hard to find a copy. My Library had it in old collection of Edith Wharton. 🥂

In One Year and Out the Other: A New Year's Story Collection | Beth Kendrick, Pamela Redmond Satran, Megan McAndrew, Cara Lockwood, Tracy McArdle

I Love New Year's Eve. Chance to take stock & start a new. Sadly there are few New Year's Eve books. Did find tagged book but at 373 pages knew I wouldn't have time to read it. Plus it was $15.99
Kindle Unlimited has some perfectly dreadful looking ones that will make you want to bleach your brain. Went with short story Next Left (not in Litsy database). Not bad, obvious someone loves Kansas. 🎉

The Darling Dahlias and the Poinsettia Puzzle | Susan Wittig Albert

In case you were wondering. Colder in Ok than in Shetland. Perfect day to hang out by the fire w/ Darling Dahlias Garden Club. Love how author includes Liz's Garden Column and recipes. Not quite a standalone. I've read 1- 4 of this series so I knew characters but I was missing bits of the story. I need to catch up. Couple things I'm not sure about in this book will do a review later today. 🌬 #tobecontinued #holidayreads #12daysofbookmas

monkeygirlsmama Here in Broken Arrow I haven't felt inspired to get off the couch all day hardly cause it just doesn't look welcoming outside. LoL 5y

monkeygirlsmama Read installments 8 and 9 of Saga. Now reading the first Paper Girls, and am getting ready to break my agreement with the couch and run to the store for a few minutes. 🙄😝 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @monkeygirlsmama I got out of my jammies and took a shower and put on clean jammies 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @monkeygirlsmama ^about to sort out dinner from the freezer. 5y

monkeygirlsmama @Crinoline_Laphroaig My oldest and I made quesadillas in her new quesadilla maker for dinner. Easy and delicious. 😋 5y

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone | Rowling, J.K.

"Professor McGonagall had come around the week before, making a list of students who would be staying for the holidays, and Harry had signed up at once. He didn‘t feel sorry for himself at all; this would probably be the best Christmas he‘d ever had." ? #holidaysathogwarts #day5 #12daysofbookmas
P.S. Pic my husband snapped in Scotland of viaduct used in Harry Potter movies.
