This is one of my favs from a few years ago. #HolidayLaughs #WinterGames #SnowAngels

#firstlinefridays Buddy read with my adult daughter this month.

This 12th in the series starts in November and continues through til summer. Lots of snow in this one so it worked well for #wintergames and the word search. Excellent continuation with the characters I‘m deeply invested in, new characters I hope to hear more from, and a mystery with twists and turns. 5⭐️ #snowangels

Quick and cute. Listened while wrapping this afternoon. #wintergames #snowangels

Twenty-four devotions focused on carols. O Holy Night has a very interesting backstory, which is the topic of Day One. Available on kindle unlimited.

1. Sign Christmas cards with my fav Christmas movie rewatch “12 Dates of Christmas” (Amy Smart & Mark-Paul Gosselaar) in the background, wrap gifts, READ!

2. Our team book, The Christmas Escape by Sarah Morgan.

@Librarybelle is hosting a Nancy Drew series buddy read. December is book 2. I enjoyed the discussion this month and look forward to more of the same. #NancyDrewBR

I‘m looking forward to this #littensloveromance buddy read beginning December 1. Two chapters a day, hosted by @StayCurious Still time for you to join in the festive fun.

I‘m enjoying this cozy audio drama podcast while I wait for #wintergames to begin December 1. Emily runs a year round Christmas store in a quaint tourist town, has a knack for puzzle solving, and of course the handsome local detective is sweet on her.

Loved this buddy read with @staycurious for her #LittensLoveRomance November book. Her memes are always fun, the discussion was engaging and the book was a superb pick.

Hey #SnowAngels we are getting off to a good start, aren‘t we? Can‘t hardly wait for Dec 1!

1. Baking holiday cookies.

2. I adore Christmas themed books.

3. Book set in the season, soft blanket, specialty beverage, by the fireplace with a view of a picture window with gentle snow outside.

Read this because a friend asked me to so we can talk about it. This cleared up a lot of my confusion of how we got here.

Three Pines #12

A little coloring while listening to Hatchet with my son.

I think I read book one to meet a readathon requirement and enjoyed it. I read this one for the same reason and liked it too. I don‘t typically choose sci-fi on my own, but if I‘m pointed in that direction I do tend to enjoy it.

Gearing up for #WinterGames with my #DecemberTBR earning #earlybirdpoints for team #snowangels

A feel good bookish book.

I just noticed yesterday that this is happening. It is on kindle unlimited so I was able to get it and start reading immediately to join in. I enjoyed the beginning and am invested to see what unfolds.

We discussed book one yesterday. We‘ll talk about book two on 12/15.
I loved getting these from the library at my elementary school and it was fun to read it now.

#FirstLineFridays
I joined the #GetAClue readathon hosted by RainyBlueReads on instagram. I needed a book about a non-human so I decided to continue with The Murderbot Diaries. g

I know I‘ve got a few holiday themed romances on my tbr for next month.

@peanutnine - “I don't know about y'all, but I am so excited for the holidays and I'm already planning my list of festive reads, stacked with all the romance! So I'm hosting a #HolidayRomanceReadathon through the month of December. I hope you'll join me and tag me in your reads so I can add even more books to my TBR 😅
I've created a bingo board as well that I'll post soon”

I just signed up!

“You didn‘t think we were done for the year did you?? #WinterGames 2023 sign ups are NOW OPEN! Please share to spread the word. Looking forward to all the snowy fun! 💚”

I‘m participating in a readathon that required a book involving a sport. This has been on my tbr for a bit so I decided to get it off my list. Very well researched and dramatically told.

A teacher recommended this picture book on TikTok and I was able to grab it from CloudLibrary. I don‘t know what I expected, but not this. It is a retelling of a folktale and I‘m still thinking about the message of the original versus this retelling.

I read 13 books, played a bunch of games and had a blast. Thank you to all our hosts and team captains!

I read one last novella for #scarathlon while handing out candy. Sweet home swap romance. #BOOklovers

The 19th of this cozy mystery series. I hope one day someone will make a limited series with these lovable characters. This new release isn‘t in the database so I tagged the first book in the series. #scarathlon #BOOklovers

Short murder mystery appropriate for errands and chores on Halloween. #scarathlon #BOOklovers

I enjoyed this story which was not much like anything I had read before. Always fun to have a fresh idea to consider for a bit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#scarathlon #BOOklovers

A dark, fast-paced, feminist thriller. Set mostly in the days around Halloween. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I hope to make time to finish this one today. #scarathlon #BOOklovers

Perfect end to this fall vibe series. We get the story of Felix who was a loyal friend to the love interest in book one. Six books, six authors, and Procter mentioned all the beloved characters from the other books through this sweet romance that all take place in the same picturesque town.
Absolutely Not in Love by Jenny Proctor

Hockey has a very distinct smell. Or at least, hockey gear.

#FirstLineFridays

The fifth Sweater Weather book has a marriage of convenience trope with a romance author and an audiobook narrator. A Not So Fictional Fall is a sweet romance with fall vibes. I‘ve got just one more in this fun series. (KU, kindle, paperback)

Halfway check-in for #scarathlon points. I managed to rack up 3,764 so far.
Thank you @Bookwormjillk for being captain of Team #BOOklovers

Christie‘s first novel, the 14th I‘ve read. Entertaining locked room mystery. #scarathlon
#teamBOOklovers #BOOklovers

Picked this up at the library for the next #LittensLoveRomance buddy read. Three chapters a day starting Oct. 15 hosted by @StayCurious
Still time to join in!

My first time reading this and I had not seen the movie. Superb. Great thriller for #scarathlon #BOOklovers

Easy as Pie by Carina Taylor is the fifth rom-com in the Sweater Weather series. Each book is set in the same small town, written by a different author, and has been released each Thursday since August 31 which is a lot of fun. Just two more to go in this cute, easy read series. Available in KU, kindle, and paperback. #BOOklovers

It had been electric to feel such purpose,
to have that
fiction of control
over her life.

This is the team book for spooktober over on instagram for Team Ghost. I had not heard of this one and I‘m so glad my local library had it in the shelf. Great twists.

Reading while waiting for the tires to be rotated.
This line made me close the book and take a moment to appreciate it before reading on:
Art period was like Lord of the Flies at peak pig-killing hour.

My first time reading this graphic novel. Very sweet start to my #scarathlon with #BOOklovers
@bookwormjillk

Enjoyed the 11th book in the Chief Inspector Gamache series. This one is set in September.

Looking forward to October and #scarathlon

Sweet and short. Great narrators.
All phone calls and voicemails.

These authors are releasing a fall vibes rom-com each week for seven weeks. I‘m currently reading the newest release Faking the Fall by Julie Christianson. They all take place in a little town called Harvest Hollow and are available on kindle unlimited, kindle, and paperback.

I really enjoyed these already:
Just Don‘t Fall by Emma St. Clair
The Fall Back Plan by Melanie Jacobson
Can‘t Help Falling by Courtney Walsh
