Cruel Winter With You | Ali Hazelwood, Vivienne LaRue

Pickpick

Baby‘s first Hazelwood!

I get why this author is so popular - I enjoyed this novella/short story more than I was expecting to. It‘s definitely Tropey McTropesville but the writing itself does a lot of heavy lifting. A solid 3.5/5 stars from this Grinchy Anti-Hallmark girlie. 🤭

Cute short Christmas story. Gave me ‘You‘ve Got Mail‘ vibes.

A fast-paced, light-hearted, humourous love story of two childhood friends talking to each other after a very big misunderstanding.
Ali tends to make me think I can maybe like the romance genre....

A Christmas Memory | Truman Capote

What a lovely and nostalgic look back at a time (1930s) and a place (Deep South Alabama) in a young boy‘s life. (And that boy is a very lightly fictionalized version of Truman Capote.)
With that #FictionalTraveler 2025 is a wrap!

Dave Cooks the Turkey | Stuart McLean

Pickpick

Let the holiday reading season commence! McLean is a Canadian National Treasure, and his story Dave Cooks the Turkey is a classic Vinyl Cafe listen. It also makes a delightful short read on a chilly December night.

If you've got the time, it really is worth listening to him tell the story, or can be found here: https://youtu.be/4VmMUM0HW6E?si=jpl-AEC1hSrbw2io

LeahBergen A classic! 2d
TheKidUpstairs @LeahBergen it was interesting reading it now. I don't think I'd listened to it since I was in my 20s. I remembered some of Dave's crazy antics attempting to get the turkey cooked, but now I identified so much with Morley just wanting a break from all the hard work of the holidays - and found Dave's grown child persona much more frustrating! But still a delight, McLean just has such a way with a story. 2d

A sad but cosy bookish adventure.

I tend to dive blindly into any Christmas theme books this time of year (especially if they are free), and thus get a lot of misses.
But ever once in a while I stumbled onto something that just speaks to my heart, exactly like this little book did.
