Hey, everyone! Here’s how we’re kicking off our reading this December:

Amanda: I’ve started The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, ( A | BN | K | AB ) which I picked for our inaugural workplace book club meeting.

Sarah: I have a veritable buffet of books that I am reading. Like a sampler. In historical, I’m reading Tall, Dark and December by Tracy Sumner. ( A ) In contemporary short I’m going to start Riding Nick by Suleikha Snyder. ( A | BN | K | AB ) And in fantasy, aim reading The Alpha of Bleake Isle by Kathryn Moon, ( A | BN ) which is apparently Omegaverse-adjacent so that’s fascinating

The end of year podcast interviews have been incredible for my TBR.

Elyse: I’ve been working my way through the story collection Under the Mistletoe on Kindle Unlimited. I just finished Cruel Winter with You by Ali Hazelwood.

I’m actually thinking of amending my reading goal for 2025 down because I feel like I consumed a lot of books this year but didn’t really process or enjoy a lot of them. I want to slow down and savor

I feel like I get sucked into a social media vortex of needing to read stuff and then I rush through it.

Shana: I have started and stopped so many books lately, and the only one that’s stuck is Grown Women by Sarai Johnson. ( A | BN | K | AB ) It’s a multigenerational story about mothers and their messy relationships with their daughters.

Kiki: I just picked up A History of the World in Twelve Shipwrecks by David Gibbins ( A | BN | K | AB ) from the library and am excited to get into it! I’ve been having a terrible time reading lately and am glad to be intrigued by something new.

Claudia: I just started Duchess Material by Emily Sullivan, ( A | BN | K | AB ) but too early to tell! I feel the holidays are already doing their thing with my head.

Whatcha reading? Let us know in the comments!
