This week's theme is a FREEBIE.
I was feeling lazy, so instead of coming up with something clever or fun, I decided to go with 12 Books I Just Checked out of the Library instead.
1. The Last Cold Place: A Field Season Studying Penguins in Antarctica by Naira de Gracia (I've already started this one and am finding it very interesting. But then it's set in Antarctica and it's about Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins and Antarctic fur seals...what's not to love?)
2. Sherlock Holmes & the Christmas Demon by James Lovegrove
('Tis the season!)
3. Snowed In For Christmas by Jaqueline Snowe
(Because I love that snowed in trope!)
4. Silver Trail Christmas by Nik James
(This is a sequel to High Country Justice which I thoroughly enjoyed.)
5. North of Nowhere by Allison Brennan
6. Girl, 11 by Amy Suiter Clarke
7. Proposing Mischief by Regina Jennings
(Just couldn't resist that cover.)
8. A Match in the Making by Jen Turano
(I enjoy her historical romances a lot.)
9. Fairest of Heart by Karen Witemeyer
10. Memory Lane by Becky Wade
11. A Cross-Country Wedding by Courney Walsh
(Because she's one of my favorite authors and I loved Cross-Country Christmas.)
12. Odd Man In by Stephen Whyno
(I threw this one in my bag on a whim...I don't even watch hockey, but the whole premise of these emergency goalies being signed to play for just one game kind of intrigued me.)
Happy Reading!
Love it.

Thank you, Regine! :D
DeleteThe Last Cold Place was very good. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Lydia
I'm really liking The Last Cold Place. Who penguins could be so darn interesting? ;D
DeleteI haven't read any of these but it is an interesting list.
ReplyDeleteI tried to get a variety this time...though it does skew towards the romances this time around; I'm clearly in need of escapist reading this month.
DeleteI hope you love Snowed in for Christmas! I loved that book.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so fun! I can't wait to start reading it. :D
DeleteIt looks like you have some great reading ahead of you. I loved Memory Lane and Fairest of Heart. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading both of those...mostly because of your recommendations. :D
DeleteOoh I read some of Lovegrove's stuff! Another Sherlock one (the sussex one?) and world of Water. The antarctica one looks great. And Allison Brennan's..
ReplyDeleteBy the way I could be totally off base but I'm suspicious of April and Maeve now.
"men don't make sense" lol
Thanks for checking out our story, Greg! Watch for a cameo by Moose, Zeb and Mariah. And you'll never guess why April and Maeve are at the Thimbleberry this week. ;D
DeleteThis is not a bad topic! Or even lazy. It's a great one for a genre freebie, I need to keep it in mind for the future, LOL!
ReplyDelete;D Glad to help you out. This was a very easy TTT list to do.
DeleteYou checked out 12 books from the library at once? Egads. That's a lot of reading in a three week period. Sounds like something I would do with children's books.Ha!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT topic: Christmas Playlist
I checked out too many books...again. It's my biggest weakness when it comes to books. But I can renew all of them, and have the whole month of December to read them. Wish me luck. :D
DeleteSnowed in for Christmas looks cute. I’ve always wished that would happen to me just one. It sounds kind of fun as long as you have enough supplies for a few days. :)
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Astilbe
As long as I had a good fireplace to keep me warm, lots of books to read, and good food to eat I wouldn't mind being snowed in either. :D
DeleteThe Sherlock Holmes definitely sounds promising! Looking forward to what you think.
ReplyDeleteI already started that one, and it's so fun. It's reading very fast and I am loving it. :D
DeleteJust eyeballing this list highlights the various aspects of your reading taste really well: Seasonal books, rom-coms, and historical fiction...you are going to be really busy.
ReplyDeleteI am. I totally checked out too many books...but I just couldn't help myself. And I do get over a week off for Christmas break, so hopefully that'll give me some extra reading time.
DeleteGuilty, I haven't made use of the public library since the pandemic hit! Great topic.
ReplyDeleteI would be so lost without my library!
DeleteI would love to be snowed in for Christmas and read Snowed In For Christmas. ❤️
ReplyDeleteA good combination. ;D
DeleteSometimes simple posts are the best! I adored Cross-Country Christmas, so I need to pick up Cross-Country Wedding, too!
ReplyDeleteI really love Walsh's writing. Her books make me smile.
DeleteI think this was a great idea for Freebie TTT! Hope you enjoy North of Nowhere as much as I did. Cross-Country Wedding looks like something I'd enjoy. I also love the snowed in trope!
ReplyDeleteThe snowed in trope is so great. And I'm hoping to start reading North of Nowhere this weekend! :D
DeleteLooks like a fun line-up! I've been meaning to read Turano for years. Her books look so sweet and fun. I hope you enjoy all these.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
It was one of my goals to read more of Turano's books this year...and this will be my second one. (See how I'm not so great at keeping goals? ;D )
DeletePenguins are enjoyable to watch so The Last Cold Place looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love penguins! This book put me in the mood to watch March of the Penguins again. :D
DeleteI’ve not read a christmassy read yet. Overdue.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is the season for it...there are tons of Christmassy reads out there right now. :D
DeleteDid you take these all out of the library at once??? Very ambitious! The penguin book looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI did...I don't know what I was thinking! I guess I just needed a lot of books to choose from...and I do get some time off this month, so hopefully that'll help me get in some more reading time. Checking out too many books from the library all at once is one of my vices. ;D
DeleteI got to go with the Penguins book. I sort of have always wanted to go to Antarctica ... to visit the ghost of Shackleton lol. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt would be very cool to visit Antarctica! though I don't think I'd want to spend five months in a field camp there. But reading about someone else doing that was awesome. :D
DeleteLooks like you have some fun reads coming up . I've got Snowed in for Christmas on my holiday TBR.
ReplyDeleteI just started reading that one and it's so fun! :D
DeletePenguins are always fun to read or watch! Hope you enjoy those library books! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melody!
DeleteAll of these sound really good. I love wandering through the library and grabbing books that catch my eye. These all look good!
ReplyDeleteWandering the library is how I come home with too many libary books in my bag! ;D
DeleteWow that's a great library book haul. Looks like you are set with some good reads. I used to love historical romances but haven't read one in ages. Will have to check out Jen Turano's books. Hope you are enjoying these!
ReplyDeleteJen Turano writes some very fun books. I've been trying to read more of them this year.
