It is technically Christmas here in the UK. Happy Christmas to everyone who celebrates!

I'm reading downstairs with the cats. I needed some alone time before I had a meltdown.

It's been a lot the last few days, I haven't had a break and a bunch of little things have gone wrong which then meant plans had to be changed and yeah, none of that is good!

Cat cuddles, lo-fi, and a fun book for another hour or so.

I hope everyone has an amazing day!

lil1inblue I hope those cat cuddles do the trick! ❤️ And I hope your Christmas turns out to be just lovely. 1h

The Rachel Incident: A novel | Caroline O'Donoghue

The author of my book looks like a combination between Taylor Swift and Kirstie Alley.

Am I right or am I right?

CBee Omg. You‘re spot on. And I liked this book a lot 😊 (edited) 10h

monalyisha @CBee Thank you for recognizing my genius. 😉 I‘m only about 20 pages in and I was dreading reading it for some reason (it‘s a book club pick) but I‘m *really* enjoying the MC‘s voice! Happy to have my assumptions proven wrong! 10h

Merry Ever After | Tessa Bailey, Connor Crais, Summer Morton

so-so

The sex scenes took up at least half of the book, and this was a short book. I liked the scenes focusing on the relationship. This was an insta-love situation. Not super relatable, but the characters were nice.

Emma of 83rd Street | Audrey Bellezza, Emily Harding

pick

Thanks @Bookwormjillk for putting this on my radar! It was a fun audiobook, a bit more like Clueless than the original Emma but I finished and was sad I wouldn't be hanging out with them anymore.

Not a book for you if you are known to scream "just talk to each other" ?

This is a series and I am going to keep going with it! Next up P&P with Elizabeth of East Hampton

Bookwormjillk Glad you liked it! 22h

Heated Rivalry | Rachel Reid

so-so

This is written like fanfiction and I don't mean that in a derogatory way. Fanfiction assumes knowledge of the material, the characters, and this is like that.

Nothing is explained or described because the assumption is that you already know. There's no sense of place.The author says this wasn't based on hockey RPF but it reads like it was.

⬇️

PuddleJumper I don't mind that because it's hockey romance porn and brain fluff. It tickles the same part of my brain that fanfic does. It's quick and easy to read and I like the archetypes.

PuddleJumper I read this in one sitting with a fussy cat on my lap that wanted all the attention 24h
