November was a very enjoyable reading month. Can you tell I was hiding from the real world? 🌎 😅
🙂 Full #BookspinBingo board @TheAromaofBooks

#Weeklyforecast
Have not started any book in row 1.
On p.33 of Book & Dagger, have not started the other 2.
Read 2 stories in Take the Mic, on p. 162 of Band of Sisters, read 2 more poems in A Cartography of Peace,
listening to ch13/60 in Don‘t Forget to write. Listening to Christmas music instead of my audiobook!
So, not sure how this week will pan out-work, life, busy. Hopefully I will get to my buddy reads.#sundaybuddyread #kareninaWinter
pickI‘m excited about starting the #KindredSpiritsChristmas stories for the month. Up today is The Genesis of the Doughnut Club. This is a new one to me. I love how even in an 11-page book LMM brings that familiar coziness present in all of her stories. Looking forward to reading these this month. Thanks for organizing this @BarbaraJean !
This is technically a Thanksgiving story & not Christmas so I‘ll count it as a TBR read. 55 points.
My #HyggehourReadathon will be spent in Antarctica with Claire Keegan 🎧 while browsing old December issues for #MidwinterSolace inspiration, sipping festive tea to set the mood. 🫖
It should knock a few more chapters of my #20in4 goal. Only 5 more to hit my 20 chapters in 4 days. @Andrew65
What are your plans? 😌
I have my doubts that I'm going to read anything in December that I'll like as much as I did Marmee. And though I loved Marmee, I think I may be looking at the final choice being between I Cannot Get You Close Enough and The Road to Dalton. I'm not sure I'll be able to choose.
pickThis is a collection of Victorian-era (if memory serves) ghost stories. Are they bone-chilling, jump-out-of-your-skin scary? No, but they‘re thought-provoking and fun, in some cases. There‘s usually a larger comment about society at play with Victorian stories. Anyway, give this one a go if only for The Monkey‘s Paw! ☺️ April‘s Double #BookSpin
pickA dark erotic collection of stories, that must have been quite scandalous when published. Very flowery but still readable, with some good for her moments. 4⭐️
2 #bookspinbingos! And a #Roll100 pick done
