Chillax December TBR/ Last of the Year

[@WildHeartsandWildflowers]

I smiled when you said you like to cook and then modified that by adding "when I'm in the mood." That's totally me, too. 😊 Also, though I really like reading Agatha Christie and other mysteries throughout the year, I especially enjoy them in December and January. I'm actually reading a Hercule Poirot Christmas mystery this month! 🎄🎄🎄 I read Sarah Ban Breathnach's books when they were first published. I gleaned some real insights and comfort from her writing back then. Maybe I should re-read them. 😊 I still have them all *except* the one you want or I'd send it to you - so sorry. I gave it to someone else years ago though. Your 5th year on BookTube! Congratulations! 🎊🎉🎊 Looking forward to hearing what changes you have planned!

Hello Maya! Wishing you lots of luck in your reading life: that you will get on better with the Inugami Curse on second try; that the cozy fantasy aspects of the Japanese library tale will continue to be a treat; and that you will be gifted a copy of the Breathnach book you seek. 🍀❤

@@lindysmagpiereads and I wish you lots of happiness in your future travels. And of course good reading. Aloha friend.

The Moonstone is great fun! That's a solid selection for chillaxing. I'm also a mood cook. Miriam's Kitchen sounds so appropriate for this month. Have a wonderful month!

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

@@readandre-read hi Angelia, I’ve started both and they’re both very relaxing books in different ways. Aloha friend.

Always SO happy to see your videos pop up! I have not read the Moonstone and I like to read mysteries during the holidays but I usually look for that theme. I like Christie in the winter too but living in MI we have a fair amount of snow just now too so we are feeling with the season. But, what am I reading, Himself by Jess Kidd. HAHA 5 years on booktube!! Congrats. I have watched you since the first and would love to send that book to you. If I choose it will it disappear from this list? I have not done this before.

What You Are Looking For Is in the Library is lovely. It's just a hint of magical realism so I reckon you'll continue enjoying it.

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

I am liking it very much. Aloha friend.

[@ariannefowler455]

I'm also planning a chillax December. I am doing one group read, but the rest is all mood reading. I hope you have a relaxed reading month.

@@ariannefowler455 hi Arianne, have a wonderful December of reading and fun! Aloha friend

[@constancecampbell4610]

I am so glad to be reminded of the day book you mentioned. I loved that and referred to it continually for several years. Now I’m sorry to have unhauled it. Lol. Good luck with your wishlist! 🍀🤞🤗

[@MarilynMayaMendoza]

Hi Constance, me too! I lived in a few places in the 90s so it probably got lost in the moves. Aloha.

@ Aloha!

I only read one book that I think could be classified as magical realism. It had a time travel element that was never explained. That bothered me. I wanted an explanation. I look forward to you revealing what your future plans for your channel are
