so-so3/5 ⭐️ Hallmark-esque Christmas story. I wasn't crazy about the characters, especially the guy. But least there was a HEA.

Book 2.5 in readathon this week (review bk2 to follow). I've borrowed bk6 in the jack parlabane series from the lib + noticed on gr there was a bk 5.5 which gives some context to bk 6. Not sure how I feel abt series having these mini stories because as a completist I feel compelled to read so reverted to my kindle. Anyway at 56 pages an enjoyable romp with Jack exposing shenanigans in m.o.d.
panI‘m on a roll with #unpopularopinions. Clearly cowboy romances are not my thing. I found the writing clunky and repetitive. The MCs were immature, and for characters who were supposedly 34 (the hero, Jericho) and early-20s (the heroine, Honey), ridiculously childish in their behavior. Honey was also obsessed with her virginity and with finding someone to hook up with so she‘d no longer be a virgin. It was obnoxious.
New episode just dropped! We discuss Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, The Jerry Seinfeld comedy sitcom, Gilmore Girls, and much much more. How do we fit it all into one episode? Easy, it's an hour long.

pickI was a bit hesitant when a RPG played a big part in the story - but oh! it ended up being rather wonderful. Greenglass House was magnificent - I loved how the story talked about adoption and belonging - and how the history of Greenglass House and the people who lived there or visited played such an integral role in how the story unfolded.
It‘s also kind of niche - but I really like stories that involve stained glass windows.
pickPrepping the Hogfather episode! This was the first Discworld novel I've read and I have to say that I feel sort of abashed that it took so long. It's very British, very funny, and right up my alley.
pickIn a Holidaze, by Christina Lauren, is a perfect book to read at the holidays. It follows Mae, a girl who has spent every Christmas at her family‘s cabin with the people she loves most. Mae hates change, so when she finds out that the cabin is being sold, she is very crushed. She‘s scared that the bonds between her friends and family won‘t be the same. As she tries to save the cabin, she forms an unexpected relationship with her lifelong friend.
