Your auto correct gave me a good chuckle and I'm glad you found two new series! Finding new authors is what I love about this challenge.

I'm glad you liked it. I'm going to get this book myself. I like anthologies and Christmas so this would be the perfect book for me to read this time of year.

Hey LaurLa,
I read Witchling and Duchess by Design. Liked them both. Thanks for the great picks!

[Carrie]

Any idea when the January pifm sign ups will be going up?

[Mary-Megan]

I think it needs to be up by the 21st. Certain hosts do it a little earlier, but I think the 21st is the latest it should be up. Who knows how it'll work with the holidays...

[Carrie]

Yeah that's why I was asking, wondering if it'll be posted earlier in account of the holidays.

Hi Carrie and Mary-Megan!

I'm hosting the January PIFM and it will most likely go up tomorrow night :)

[Rebecca]

Robyn,
I have finished my third pick The Ice Twins 3 stars. I dont usually go for psychological thrillers but this had a good twist.

Hi Laura,

This month I read:

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. I'll admit, I probably would have overlooked it because I don't read enough Paranormal books. I am definitely going to be continuing on with the rest of the series

. it is Sophie Kinsella ...need I say more? lol

. This is the last book I read especially since it is almost Christmas

Hi pam I am currently reading orphan's tale by Pam jenoff. I probably wont finish before new year just due to the holiday craziness as got about 100 pages to go but thanks for persuading me to pick it up. Finding it unputdownable when I do pick it up.

Hi Nancy H.! Thank you for the great picks this month! I wanted to read so much more, my list was long with old and new books, but the holidays were crazy and challenges were too. I did manage to check off a few and loved them! More are on the list for the future too.

Wilde in Love by Eloisa James 12.6.18 - Great beginning to a new for me series!
Be Mine Tonight by Kathryn Smith 12.12.18 - Good reread in audio this time!
A Very Marian Christmas by Lucy Lennox 12.15.18 - Loved this entire series, this was a fun addition with a little bit of everyone!
Hot Winter Nights by Jill Shalvis 12.20.18 - Always good - this one was funny and sweet!

Thanks again! On to 2019 - though I'm not sure how that happened so fast!

[〰️Beth〰️]

Beth - I'm so glad you found 4 new series! That's my favorite part of this challenge - finding new series or authors to read! I'm so happy it was a successful month for you.

[Sonja]

Well I failed spectacularly at reading in December... I had several books on my pick list from the lovely hostess Fran, but I only just now got to the first one... Life just got in the way.
I'm reading now and then .
Hopefully I can finish both so I can move on to January picks!
Sorry Fran... :*(
