Some of my 5 star books of 2025

I‘m finally circling back to this book after receiving my own copy from @Deblovestoread - very thoughtful!

My April pick for #12BooksOf2025
This one had so much hype and it lived up to it! Beautiful writing and wonderful characters!
Thank you for hosting @TheEllieMo

Last night a former student and his wife came for dinner and we discussed Stoner, our first bookclub of three. (We are already planning another meeting in the summer when they come home again.) I really enjoyed this book, a quiet story of one man‘s life which is changed when he takes a college English course. Academia, a failed marriage, an affair, and always an abiding love for the written word. It‘s a great book that we all loved.

I guessed on a few, so I'm thrilled with my score! Three of my favorite holiday songs:
1. “Christmastime is Here“: not from a movie, but a tv show--the best holiday one ever! (A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS, of course!)
2. “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas“: written for the movie MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS and sung by the incomparable Judy Garland.
3. “Silver and Gold“ by Burl Ives: another tv show (RUDOLPH).
Another book full of love and feelings. I love the stories Lisa Wingate writes. The main message I took from this novel is to take the time to “stop and smell the roses” in our lives. Find contentment in what you have not trying to reach for happiness in things. I gave it 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy 🎃 Halloween
I am bailing on this; the mood/tone and impending sense of doom has me scrambling for air and sunshine. I did an internet search for spoilers so I could know what happens and now I am glad that I will stop reading this. #hailthebail #lifestooshort #timeforacozyhappybookplease ! #Oct2025 Book99
