The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon - I still need to finish before the year is over.
There are some other books that I've started and I'd like to finish and there are also some Christmas-themed books I'd like to read during the month to be festive. I'm not sure what all I will get to/feel in the mood to read.

It was probably Beyond the Clouds vol. 1 by Nicke. I enjoyed Priory but I felt so much pressure to get it done by the end of the year that it kinda ruined the enjoyment. Still a very good book though.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What was your favorite read last month? Why?"crying in h mart, but overall i had a pretty good reading month
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What was your favorite read last month? Why?"The Wonder Boy of Whistlestop. It was my first Fannie Flagg even though I've seen the Fried Green Tomatoes movie about a hundred times. Cute, heartwarming story though.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you have a winter bucket list of things you'd like to do this season?"Idk if it's really a "bucket list" but the first good snow day I get to spend at home I have a tradition of watching the 2008 BBC Persuasion adaptation, the 1995 Pride and Prejudice, or having a Doctor Who marathon with hot tea and biscuits.
Winter bucket list: Survive driving in the snow.

Anastasia looks good. I have added it to my TBR list. I have never read anything by Sophie Lark. It will be nice to try a new author.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: Do you have a favorite Christmas song? Or a song you enjoy listening to during the winter season?"I have always liked Jingle Bell Rock.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is your favorite festive drink during the Christmas season, or your favorite drink of choice during the winter season?"hot chocolate
I’m gonna have to agree with Silas. Hot chocolate. I’ll also drink iced coffee with a peppermint creamer.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: What is your favorite festive drink during the Christmas season, or your favorite drink of choice during the winter season?"I love a good London Fog in winter, though it's available year round.
Cappuccino. Year round. But, it is extra nice to have on cold days.

LCPL wrote: "QOTD: For a fun winter activity, would you rather go sledding or ice skating?"I'm terrified of ice skating, so I'll go with sledding.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: For a fun winter activity, would you rather go sledding or ice skating?"sledding. i think i'd seriously injure myself trying to ice skate. even though i roller skate, something about ice skating feels way more scary to me lol
Mod
I'm not very motivational lol. I guess, always make time for what makes you happy. Even if you do it for 15 minutes a day, it'll be worth it in the long run.
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: For a fun winter activity, would you rather go sledding or ice skating?"Ice skating is scary, and i don't like sledding. Basically, if theres snow on the ground my idea of a fun winter activity is to stay inside lol
LCPL wrote: "QOTD: For a motivational Monday, what words of inspiration would you like to share?"I find alot of inspiration in literature. Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson is especially inspiring to me.
"Tho' much is taken; much abides. And tho' we are not now that strength which in old days moved Earth and Heaven, that which we are, we are. One equal temper of historic hearts, made weak by time and fate but strong in will. To strive, To seek, To find, and not to yield."
You can spend spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets
Or you can come to terms and realize you’re the
only one who cannot forgive yourself
It make much more sense to live in the present tense
