#WhereAreYouMonday
I'm in Yorkshire, as what's left of a rather horrible family gathers to play what promises to be a horrible game.
@Cupcake12

Ruthiella I was in Yorkshire too literarily last week! Also with snow and murder, but a different book! 😅 4d
bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella I wonder what it is about the area that lends itself to murderous stories? I know I've read other murder mysteries set in Yorkshire.🤔😃 4d

Regency Christmas Eve | Nancy Butler, Edith Layton, Barbara Metzger, Allison Lane, Diane Farr

It's going to be a very busy day, so I'm up early, enjoying a bit of quiet while I can, and rereading a short romance from a Christmas book that was originally my mom's. 🎄
(I couldn't find this book in the database so I choose one with several of the same authors)

bookandbedandtea @KadaGul I had not read one of her books in YEARS. I picked up the first in this trilogy and liked it so I want to finish the story but I have a feeling I'll be ready to read other things for quite a while after this. As you say, soooo many books on Mt. TBR! ⛰️ 2w

#WhereAreYouMonday
It's the off-season in Maine, and a variety of unpleasant people are vacationing at a cabin resort. (I think I like the MC but everyone else is awful, which is apparently the point, but I'm not loving it. I feel like I'm about to DNF.)

Stars of Fortune | Nora Roberts
post image
Pickpick

This was pretty good, as her books tend to be, & introduces the 6 characters & their nemesis. 3 women & 3 men have been drawn to Corfu as they are fated to find the Stars of Fortune to keep them falling into the hands of an ancient, vengeful goddess who will use them to destroy worlds. The 6 characters have skills & attributes that will help them in the coming battles. The 2 whose romance is featured in this book are a seer & a wizard.

bookandbedandtea One annoyance: with 6 characters it wasn't always entirely clear who was speaking and I had to stop several times to puzzle it out. 3w

In the present, recently elected congressman Harrison Leonard is poised to do great things when he starts receiving mail threatening to expose something in his past. In the past, Jake and 3 friends, including Andy Leonard, spend a week before going to college at his grandparent's lake cabin where a series of terrifying events changes them forever. This was a quick, entertaining read though Miss Bailey isn't sure she's impressed.

I'm calling this an excellent read because I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I finished a few days ago and I'm confident I'll be thinking about for a long time. The state of the world, and the live/work concept of Cloud, feel all too plausible, which is alarming. However, I wish the book had ended differently. This was probably the "right"ending as this isn't a feel good book but I'm a sucker for a happy ending. ?‍♀️

BkClubCare I am craving only HEA reads right now! (And yet my current one has election stuff 🤦🏻‍♀️) 2mo
bookandbedandtea @BkClubCare Yes! I'm finding it hard to read books without HEA these days. 🫣 What's your current, political book? 2mo
