Thank you for all of your support, and may you, and your families have a lovely christmas!

My favourite thing about Christmas Day is sitting down with delicious food and having just the whole day with my family with no other pressures. What about you?

This was so difficult, given I was swapping out and in so many!

I have read 121 books this year and published one of my own. So, it's been busy!

These books all stood out in one way from the others and I remembered so well, even months later.

Monsters Within Men by @tjroseauthor - I love zombies, and post-apocalptyic fiction. The journey was great and really enjoyed it! Plus...a dog (a massive bonus).

The Hitman's Guide... by @alicewintersauthor - genuinely have to read this series months apart from each other because I literally cackle with laughter and I have to read them utterly alone so not bother anyone!

Ben by @coraroseromance - amazing plot and I loved the dynamic between the characters. I love the whole series, and this one was just so well written.

Werewolves Hate Clogs by @kl_hiers - I just love all the worlds they build and this is so rich of interesting characters. Months later, I'm still in awe of the house and many of the side characters. I am pleading a sequel comes out soon!

Little Demon in the Details by @nordikanightauthor - this was insanely good, strong MCs and the humour was so spot on. I will 100% be re-reading this next year.

Cair by @authorerynhawk - I loved the dynamics of this book, as well as the world-building (so strong). This is a definite re-read for me.

Johann by @authorgraebryan - I really like this whole series, but Johann makes my teeth ache he is so adorable! I love the development and just the love here.

Dare Me (Book 2 - and the whole series) by @brookeblaine1 and @ellafrank1 I am a MASSIVE fan of this series AND her reporter one which I binged so hard. The characters are incredible and I still think about the figherfighter and Bash (a lot!).

Should the Sky Fall by @amithiaraine - well, I was ready for a journey and this one was well-worth it. It was beautifully written and at times I had to have a small hour break because of how intense this was! I loved it!

These Silent Stars by @tempestchani - just excellent worldbuilding and the dynamics between these characters stand out so much!
