I finished a book yesterday. Great cozy mystery series and I took this when I went skiing too. 4/5

I finished a book . I always enjoy Maeve Binchy books. I liked the little toen and all the characters in it. I would give it 4/5.

Great list. It has been a while since I have read Karen Rose booka. I need to get back to reading her books one day!

I am not sure how much reading I will get done with starting the last class of my program, but I am going away for my birthday to a ski hill so hopefully after a long day of skiing, I will have some time to read
.

I finished a book

Great book. It was a nice easy Christmas-type book. I could definitely see this book being a Christmas movie. 4/5

1; How did you do with your goals for the year?
I think I did pretty well with my goal I read 24 books instead of 30 but I did read some series that I want to read.
2. What were your most outstanding series that you read during the year?
FBI Thriller series by Catherine Coulter. It was a reread but it was still great the second time.
FBI Profiler by Lisa Gardner, great book. Looking forward to reading more of that series this year.
Bakeshop Mystery - Ellie Alexander - a nice easy cozy mystery
Bishop/Special Crime Unit - Kay Hooper. Another reread. It was great getting to start by the beginning again and remembering how much I love the series.
3. What were your most favorite books read (series and standalone)?
Firefly Beach - Luanne Rice.
Kiss Me, Kill Me - Alison Brennan
4. What were you the most proud of accomplishing this year?
I was happy to be able to read as many books as I did this year as I am pretty busy so actually finding time to read, it is always good.

I didn't do great on my goals. I only read 24 books. I did read books from series that I like though.

My goals for next year is as follow:

Read 10 cozy mysteries
Read 20 books
Read 2 non fiction books

I finished There are three novellas in this book the novella by Joanne Fluke was my favorite out of them all. 3/5

1. Did you complete and/or get up to date in any series this month? Nope
2. Did you start any new series? If so, what were they? Will you continue? I started one series. I will defintely read more of this series
FIxer Upper Mystery series
3. Did you move forward in any series (that you didn’t complete or finish)? How many?
I moved forward in the Bishop/Special Crimes Unit

4. Any standout or 5 star books read? Why did you love it/them?
Even though it was a reread for me, I have to say Out of Shadows was my favourite, I just love the characters and I forgot how much I love this series. I am going to try and read more of this series in the new year.
5. Overall summary of your reading month?
I read three books this month, which is great for me

Great books on your list. I haven't read Mistletoe murder but I have read other books in that series and I have enjoyed it, hope you do too.

Great list. I like the sound of your Christmas books. Hope you enjoy them.
