My prized copy of the 1982 Ballantine edition of The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. The only reason I have this is because of the cover. I love that Gollum looks like a shaved muppet.

#BookReview: Best Wishes from the Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki, translated by Jordan Taylor My Review: This book was always going to be this year’s New Year’s Eve review. After all, what could make a better reading send-off for the year (any year but especially this year) than a bunch of beloved former companion animals turned sages from the stars not just wishing their people (for very open interpretations of both “their” and “people”), their very best wishes for the holiday season and the coming new year?

#BookReview: A Christmas Journey by Anne Perry My Review: After yesterday’s book, I realized that what I wanted to round out this week of holiday reads wasn’t a romantic book filled with the holiday spirit, it was a murder mystery to see if getting killed at the holidays would turn the victim INTO a holiday spirit. The haunting kind, that is. I was casting around for something that would fit that mood, and if possible something a bit like last week’s…

Saltwater I just reviewed Saltwater by Katy Hays

Saltwater by Katy Hays is a solid, rich people mystery complete with lush setting and secrets galore. It would make a great book club read.
#Saltwater #NetGalley #BallantineBooks www.netgalley.com/book/439779/...

Shows different formats of THESE SUMMER STORM, earbuds on the beach with seashells and a starfish. Cover of books shows 4 figures (Storm siblings) walking on the beach.

When I found out Julia Whelan was narrating THESE SUMMER STORMS, I knew I had to listen along. Sarah MacLean delivered the perfect beach read filled with family, new beginnings and loss. wp.me/p3LsMp-ehv #newrelease #audiobookreview #bookreview #bookblogger @prhaudio.bsky.social #BallantineBooks

The Mistletoe Mystery I just reviewed The Mistletoe Mystery by Nita Prose

The Mistletoe Mystery by Nita Prose is a short and sweet novella that takes out most of the mystery elements to focus on the emotions and I loved it for that reason. #TheMistletoeMystery #NetGalley #BallantineBooks www.netgalley.com/book/419879/...

Hit Girls I just reviewed Hit Girls by Nora Princiotti

Hit Girls by Nora Princiotti is a fun and in-depth look at the music of the ladies who topped the charts in the early 2000s and the impact they and their music had. #HitGirls #NetGalley #BallantineBooks www.netgalley.com/book/546574/...

Overall, a fascinating and enjoyable concept for a story and cheers to author Pager for her wonderful imagination!
