pick‘London 1905- It begins when a toymaker comes bearing a unique Christmas gift for his favorite niece, Olivia: a handsomely carved nutcracker doll.‘
Finished in August. This was my December pick for the 2024 #FairytaleReadingChallenge.
#TheNutcracker
This is a very dark and mature reimagining. It‘s more like a horror story. Very well written.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#Read2025
pickAndy McGee and his daughter Charlie are on the run. Agents from The Shop are hunting them down. Because Charlie has the ability to start fires with her mind.
This is another I‘ve read a few times. One of my favorites.

pickOne Of Us Was Always Going To Bleed For The Other.
‘Tangled in a sinister game of politics, bloodthirsty professors, and magic, Laura and Carmilla must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice in their ruthless pursuit of knowledge.‘
Nice follow up to A Dowry of Blood. I enjoy the writing style, and the ‘60s academic setting.
Book 2/Vampire Companion ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Completely forgot to post this yesterday. I‘m almost finished reading An Education in Malice. Starting Forever Odd next. Not sure what I‘m reading after that.
#TheCandyCaneReadathon
I didn‘t have time to post this yesterday. I wasn‘t able to read as much as I‘d hoped to. I finished a few more chapters of An Education in Malice, and most of Yule.
Thanks for hosting @LiseWorks
#SnowyDecemberReadathon
Didn‘t have any time to read yesterday, so I‘m starting a day late. I‘m hoping to at least finish An Education in Malice and Forever Odd this week. Going to try to get some more of Chasing Stardust done on Kindle.

pick‘The world is really wild at heart and weird on top, Lula thought.‘
I really enjoyed this. The complete saga of Sailor Ripley and Lula Pace Fortune, “the Romeo and Juliet of the South”. These stories are noir-ish and surreal, with unexpected happenings, and unforgettable cast of characters. Book 1, Wild At Heart, was adapted to film by David Lynch.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#SeriesLove2025 #AllergicToChunksters #Read2025

pick‘Only death can keep you from the finish line—in the ultimate competition of the all-too-near future...‘
Finished this in June.
A gruesome race where only one can cross the finish line. This was my third time reading this. Good story. Shocking at times.

pickIt‘s not important who you are; the only thing that matters is what kind of illness you suffer from.
This was a long, strange trip. A dystopian medical universe. Like reading a dream/nightmare crossover. 1984 vibes.

It‘s her destiny to rule Hell. As usual, Sabrina has other plans for her future.
The writing is juvenile and redundant at times, but I do like the storyline.
