Im in my festive romance era and mixing all 3 books up Im currently reading. Am I confused? Am I festive stressed? Am I tipsy? Who knows.

My mum loves reading as much as I do. She loves pretty much any fiction book but recently has been rather taken in by the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaranovitch. Does anyone have any recommendations for anything similar I could look at for Christmas?

The Chronicle of St Mary's books might be worth a look.

Has she read all the novellas?

Two books off my GR goal! Not bad considering I didn’t read for 2 months in newborn baby chaos mid year!
Just finished The Shallows by Holly Craig. 3.8 rating on GR but I enjoyed it!! Got to about 50% and read the last half in one go!

What's on rotation? I need a few more festive romance suggestions to last me through to New Years!

Thank you! Off to look them all up. I read Lovelight Farms earlier this year and remember enjoying it! Not a 5 star read but not awful either.

I have the other 2 in the same series to read too. Got them all on 99p monthly deals

I got two festive reads off Netgalley. A Christmas Miracle in the Little Irish Village by Michelle Vernal on audio (31% in, not sure about it yet) and A Concert for Christmas by Helen Hawkins on ebook. I've not started the ebook yet to avoid being confused.

I've read a few Christmas Sue Moorcroft novels. More or less every other release is good. I liked A White Christmas on Winter Street, Christmas Wishes and The Christmas Love Letters.

I think I've read one of the others too? but forget which! Love a 99p deal! Though the covers really annoy me. I don't love the current cartoon cover trend anyway, and am not a fan of all the hidden faces on her books

The Winter Spirits is a lovely spooky collection for Christmas reading.

Has anyone else's brain just sort of given up?

Work, reading, anything really feels too taxing right now!

It's the end of the year and my brain has decided to power down.

Reading The Girls by Emma Cline atm, about 100 pages in and liking it so far but i took it on holiday and on the plane back my water bottle leaked and now the pages are all crinkly

I took The Girls to Majorca with me this year, and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Yup! I’ve got two full weeks of work before I’m off for a fortnight and I’m already in last day of work mode. It’s really not good. I can’t focus and have no desire to work at all. I just want to be sat reading a book and eating Christmas chocolates.

Glad it’s not just me! I’ve got so much to do before Christmas but no desire to do any of it! Hope you manage to get a good rest on your days off.
