Tagged: Christmas By the Book by Anne Marie Ryan
It wouldn't be December without me reading my favorite Christmas book. A cozy bookshop, Christmas season, the English Isles, what could be better? A must for any bookworm. 📚

TheEllieMo How did I not know about this? A book about books, set in a location not that far away from me?? I was panicking a bit because I couldn‘t find it, it appears that it is published in the UK as

Especially if you're interested in Stuart Britain!

A Christmas Tragedy: A Miss Marple Story | Agatha Christie

so-so

I snuck this Miss Marple short story into my December reading for the Snowflake prompt (set during winter/in snow) in the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge. I do love Miss Marple and her keen observations of human nature, but as is usual for me with Christie‘s short stories, I found this all too short.

Ruthiella I definitely prefer Christie‘s novels over her short stories. I almost never remember the plot of short stories. 🎄🔪🎅🏼💀 5d

Gabriel's Moon | William Boyd

pick

So much more than a spy novel, Gabriel‘s Moon is a book about humans being - or not being - who you think they are. Gabriel Pax is a likable enough protagonist, but thematically, espionage is the real character here. We‘re on a need to know basis, and Boyd makes sure the reader discovers things at the same time Pax does. Side note: my lungs and liver hurt just thinking about the excessive nicotine and booze contaminating Pax‘s body.

The Proof of My Innocence: A hilarious political novel wrapped in a murder mystery, from the bestselling author of Middle England | Jonathan Coe

#12Booksof2025 June

I enjoy satire and I enjoy literary pastiche and when the 2 are combined by a writer as talented as Jonathan Coe it is sure to be a hit with me. My favourite read in June.

Assembly | Natasha Brown

I love these days and nights at the end of the year. I'm settling in tonight with a cozy throw (a gift, so appreciated) and a title that's been on my TBR for far too long. I'm so grateful for the chance to let time slow down, let obligations go, and just READ. #CurrentlyReading

Bibliophilebabe3425 I admire you all for being able to read books on e-devices and e-format!! Can‘t do it. Tried it to lighten the load on my backpack and had to go back to physical text books, I want to sell it so that I have more money for physical books!!! 2w

Bibliophilebabe3425 Thank you for chiming in on the normalcy of this holiday vacation experience and for affirming how I‘m handling myself this week. I knew I could count on you!! 2w
