Hello Beasties!

The holiday season is finally here!

I have been itching for December to get here. I've been in the mood to pick up some holiday reads and I don't just mean the fluffy ones. Like I really want to finally pick up NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, I know this is considered a holiday read and it's been sitting on my TBR for a while now.

And I know pumpkin spice is more of a fall thing, but I will be drinking it all season long as long as Starbucks has it on its menu! So why not also pick up The Pumpkin Spice Cafe? This is a cozy mystery romance and sounds absolutely perfect for me! The vibes remind me of The Cheese Shop mysteries, and I adore those! And maybe I can make my way through to the third book - The Christmas Tree Farm.

But another book I'm super excited about is one I was just gifted to today! My mom got me this adorable Advent calendar book! Each day is a new chapter, and there are 24 chapters! I'm itching to open this one later and get started!

Besides these three, I have plenty of other holiday reads I want to try and get to. As well as, do my best to try and finish my current reads before the end of the year. It's crazy to think this year is almost over. I've already started thinking about what I want to read come the new year and what reading challenges I want to do for 2026. But I should really focus on the books I want to get to for this month.

I can't wait to see how I end this year!
