Belated Christmas Eve Friday Reading

[Vespasia]

I hope everyone is finding some time to relax this holiday season! What are you reading?


QOTW: Any gifts you were particularly excited to give or receive this year?

[charlatti]

I just finished Project Hail Mary — definitely a page-turner! Also reading A Most Remarkable Creature, a nonfiction book about birds (caracaras).

Qotw: no big surprises this year — everyone mostly got things we asked for, which is nice! I’ve been enjoying giving away cookies this year. I baked a few more kinds than usual.

I started The Mystery of Mrs Christie yesterday. It's kind of meh so far and I am hoping it gets better.

QOTW: most of the gifts we gave and received were food and alcohol so wins all around.

Hello, Transcriber by Heather Morrissey

The Return by Rachel Harrison

Murder-on-Sea by Julie Wassner (hustling to read this because it’s set at Christmas time and I hate reading holiday books outside of December)

QOTW: the tomato Otherland candle

I read People Love Dead Jews.

Not sure what I'm reading next. It's hard to picture getting much done between now and the end of the year since my H will be off work. We'll see. I'm at 81/75 for the year so I feel good about that.

QOTW: I got two very functional and nice coats - something I've been needing for awhile but not interested in spending the money on.

I finished Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys, 5*. It is probably the best book I read this year. I also finished Eli's Promise by Ronald Balson, 4*. I'm currently reading The Girl From Berlin by Ronald Balson.

Qotw: I received Go Tell the Bees that I'm Gone by Diana Gabaldon from my daughter. I cannot wait to start that next.

I read Smile - The Story of a Face by Sarah Ruhl. She’s a playwright who developed long term Bell’s palsy after the birth of her twins. It was pretty interesting; I’d recommend it.

My husband got us concert tickets, which I wasn’t expecting.

Smile is on my list.  Glad you enjoyed it!
