Good video, good reviews. I’d like to recommend a nonfiction book called ‘Dracula; Prince of many faces, his life and times’ by Radu Florescu and Raymond McNally. It’s the true history of 15th century Romanian warlord Vlad Tepes a.k.a. Vlad the Impaler a.k.a. Dracula to find out where and why our favorite character got his namesake. Also a book called ‘Stake’ by Kevin J Anderson that is a modern day mystery where you’re not sure throughout the book whether the main antagonist is actually killing vampires or just a crazy serial killer. It’s a real page-turner and a lot of fun. 🦇🦇🦇

I'm reading The Mystery of Mistletoe Hall for a Christmas and December read. I found it on Kindle. It's a classic type mystery where a group of people have been invited to an old English manor for Christmas and get snowed in. Of course, the guests begin to be murdered one by one. It takes place in the mid 1920's and one of the guests, a retired police official is investigating what is happening with the assistance of his seventeen year old grandson. The police official also happens to be a wealthy aristocrat (lol) so they have a full staff there preparing Christmas dinner and seeing to everyone's comfort. The brutal cold and blizzard conditions in the story make it very atmospheric as well as cozy. I'm very much enjoying it as it ticks a lot of my boxes.

UPDATE: Tonya Harding was the ice skater who had her bodyguard hurt Nancy Kerrigan! The book's description is sounding like the main character is a Tonya Harding type.

I think for prompt 1, I’m going with The Frozen River ❄️

Let me know if you're joining the challenge, and share some recommendations you think would be good fits for each prompt!

I didn’t think much about the fact that it’s in 2 parts. I see more pro’s than cons. We’ll be able to get another great experience next year.

Definitely had no clue it was part 1.

Yay this is great! 🥳 we all need the tea! 🫖 🫶🏻

Nothing like an Agatha Christie mystery! I read the Christmas pudding one last Christmas and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for reminding about the Midwinter one as i had forgotten i have that one on audio. i love mysteries this time of year, especially from the British Golden Age of Mystery. Great series!

On my reading list, there is "The Long Shadow" by Celia Fremlin, also subtitled "Welcome to the Nightmare Christmas holiday". It's my first who-done-it ever and I'm excited to start it (I am currently reading Little Women which I absolutely love)

Vintage recipes Yes 👩🏻‍🍳

The very first book review… how very cool! Such great gift ideas, thank you! 🫶🏻

I’m in a Christmas book kind of mood. Nicholas Sparks is always a good one for a holiday read.

Love this story. Must read again

I’m loving this series! 🫶🏻such a gorgeous edition!

Such a great recommendation 🫶🏻

Prediction video so fun!

Great review so much to look toward to!

Love a short festive mystery 🥰

Such great 🎁 ideas!

So comforting, I think everyone needs that reminder to take care of themselves. 🫶🏻

Yes please 👩🏻‍🍳🕵🏻‍♀️

Yes love a cozy mystery 🥰

Great suggestions! I love Elizabeth Gaskell's gothic tales. I would highly recommend Lois the Witch. I read it last year. It's really quite a tragic story. I'd like to get into Edith Wharton and the stories you suggested sound very interesting.

I have never heard of the 1st and last books. I'm adding them to my TBR. 😊

Chill the F out🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love you!

Connie Briscoe has a retelling of Rebecca coming out next year via Harper Collins called Chloe.

I loved your review just finished the movie and love someone taking in deep comparing it to the book still at good moves and even better video Keep going amazing job ❤❤❤

This is interesting

You're an excellent reviewer. I read the book as a teenager in the seventies and it was (even to this date, so many years later) the scariest book I've ever read. I recall sleeping with the windows closed and the shades drawn that whole hot summer. It made quite an impression on me. I also watched the late seventies movie. Don't think I'll watch the current one, but I think I'd like to re-read the book.

I am loving the Bait and Witch series. Thanks for the recommendation!

Someone else mentioned this to me. Father Callahans face was covered with blood around his mouth. Perhaps he was forced to drink Barlows blood and will rise later.

Sounds like a good book! I will get to it!

Destruction of my favorite book 🤬🤬🤬

Sounds like a great cozy mystery series to read especially being in Colorado 😊 Thank you for sharing ❤

The Secret History is on my favorite book of all times list. I should read it again.

I took a snap and will check it out!

Thank you for doing this video! I tried watching the first ep yday and found it so boring I couldn’t listen, will try to continue watching as I want to know how both Cleo & Tessie died, also how did they make Natalie look so young in the car scene in that screenshot side by side with her past and present 😮

Yum-O 😍 My goodness you are going to turn me into a baker 😊

This cozy mystery series sounds like so much fun to read. I'm not a baker but sometimes I will make a box cake mix with canned frosting 😅 my favorite cake is Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting from a bakery. Thank you so much for sharing all these mystery series 😍💖

Thanks! Going to read Charlotte Isles Is Not a Detective... Seems exactly like the books I like.... Thank you. 😊

Sure! Put it on my TBR ...thank you so much! 👏☺️

Done! And what a lovely T-Shirt! Looks great on you...😁🥰

Eating ice cream and reading Matilda to my kids... Thanks for this video! Shall hopefully read them! God bless us all!

🎉🎉. Sure... will follow up!

Interesting. Going to start this series soon after I complete the remaining 30 pages of my current book. 😊. Thank you for starting this series. 😊
