Love these moments! For me it was reading four holiday books the the two weeks leading up to Christmas. It was like bingeing on Hallmark movies -- but with books! 💓

For me, it's puzzle and audiobook in place of crochet. 😊 So relaxing!

Who was your favourite author discovery this year, Michelle? I came across your Substack today and am loving it! 🤍 it’s a warm blanket of a newsletter ✨📚

Awww, thank you for the kind words Bella! I think my favorite author discovery this year was Caroline O'Donoghue. I ended up reading 4 books by her this year and loved each one. Do you have a favorite?

I love this! Also enjoy the print version of NYT book review. What do you do with yours when you are done reading them?

I recycle them! I've kept a handful and sometimes used them as gift wrap for bookish friends.
