You are really quick when it comes to reading books, Kimber 🙂 All great choices, I’m sure! 🙂
Thank you! I had a lot of good material to read this month. 🙂 Happy Friday!
How did you like The Haunting of Leigh Harker? It’s been a while, but I remember enjoying it. My son recommended seeing Nosferatu, but I’ll probably wait until it’s streaming.
I liked that book, too. I’m a sucker for books about hauntings. 😀
You’ll think I’m crazy, and you’d probably be correct, but my wife and I don’t keep a list. That’s not a great idea, but that’s us. We like cozy mysteries and are currently reading Bree Baker. We like Amish books with our favorite author being Vannetta Chapman. Watch list is short. Football if it’s on broadcast TV. It’s all informal and ad hoc.
I love it, George! I like cozy mysteries, too, as well as Amish books. Thank you so much for telling me about the authors you like. I will check them out!
The Mister and I watch The Detroit Lions, usually with my parents. 😀
Fantastic reading, Kymber! The Tale of the Seasons Weaver by D. Wallace Peach is a fantasy that kept me glued to the pages! I don’t watch much TV but am loving Landman!
Hi, Jan! It’s great to see you!
D. Wallace Peach is an amazing fantasy writer. I haven’t read that book, but it’s on the TBR.
Happy Thursday!
That’s a neat mix of holiday and thrillers in your shows/movies 🙂
Thank you, Dave. 😀
Have a new Christmas movie favorite: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Lovely! I will definitely check that one out!
14 books in one month, that is impressive. I read four.
I was trying so hard to complete the challenge. It was hard, but I still enjoyed the books. 🙂
Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year! 🙂
I wish the same for you, Barbara! Happy New Year!
Come back to me with K. Knightley
I haven’t heard of this and now I think I’m missing out. 😂 I really like K. Knightley.
Greats on reaching your goal on reading a hundred books for 2024.
Thank you! 2024 was harder for me than 2023, but I got the job done. LOL Happy New Year!

Thank you, Sandy! Happy New Year! ❤️
That is a lot of books for one month, I’m impressed! I love that you read Anne. Maggie
Thank you, Maggie! ❤️ I’ve loved AoGG since I was a child and just had the need to read it again. 😀
Omg, I really wanted to watch Black Christmas this year! 😆 that movie is over the top 🤣 🎄 I love it!
And just ❤️ It’s a Wonderful Life!
I’m always impressed with how much you read, Kymber. Happy new year! 🎆🎊 🐈 🐈⬛
It sure was! LOL There are three versions of it and I watched two of them. 🙂
Me, too! It’s a Wonderful Life is a favorite of ours, and we watch it every year. ❤️❤️
I was soooo behind for so long on my reading, but I kicked it up a notch so I could finish the challenge. 🙂 ❤️
Happy New Year, Chickie!
As always, impressive! I’m still reading You Like it Darker by Stephen King; a collection of deliciously dark tales. He will always be my favorite!
Thank you, Kim! I haven’t read that one, but I’ve read most of his. He’s one of my favorites, too. 🙂
