I love Tessa Bailey books. That said, I had a wee bit of a hard time connecting with this one. I loved everything, except Beat‘s reason for why he‘s doing this. Also, the synopsis was definitely deceptive to me. That said, I did love the journey into some different loving. Can‘t say more cause I don‘t want to give away any spoilers!

Sunrise, but no sun.
The merchant ship Marie tied up at the Liverpool docks hours ago, beneath an overcast sufficient to obliterate the moon and the stars—and now that dawn has arrived conditions have not improved.

Switching from Pratchett to British detective novels and back. This version is a radio drama and is very well made. The Sherlock stories are perfect for my commute because the last one way.
Does anybody else see Mark Gatiss in the drawing?

This looks fun!
1. I‘d say it‘s a tie between dinner and brunch. I love the creativity of brunch (and mimosas) but I also love a great dinner!
2. The Holiday Swap (tagged) was a baking foodie‘s dream and I loved the dual POVs of hosting a baking show and running a small town bakery. And a book I recently read, River Woman, River Demon was filled with authentic, delicious Latin dishes. 😋

Book 5. I started my Christmas in July reading marathon a couple months late this year, but this charming, light read was just the palette cleanser I needed. I've enjoyed most of Melody Carlson holiday books and am looking forward to reading more.

4.5⭐️
This epistolary novel is the perfect holiday gift for fans of historical fiction. The letters back and forth between Evie and Tom and a handful of their acquaintances reveal far more than a budding romance; they reveal much about the impact of World War I. (Cont'd in comments)

steph_phanie (1/3) We witness the evolution of weaponry and warfare, the fight between propaganda and truth-telling, a mental health crisis among the soldiers, and the advancement of women's rights as England comes to rely on women to fill roles once held by the men now at war. 1w
steph_phanie (2/3) The heart of the novel, however, is the friendship-turned-romance between Evie and Tom. As the war rages on and losses grow, these two buoy each other with their correspondence and encourage each other to push ever forward. Hope for an end to the war and a Christmas spent together in Paris becomes their driving light. 1w
steph_phanie (3/3) Besides rooting for their growing fondness of each other, I also cheered for Evie as she became a young woman determined to serve her country and cast off traditional expectations of her gender.

This was a very lovely novel. Highly recommend.
