Where you can find me until bedtime. {free book from @atriabooks} 🎄 Once Upon a River has me totally engrossed in its magical wold. It’s a book that takes all of your attention, but the reward of the story is well worth it. Have you read it yet? If not, you should pick it up while it’s still cold out as it is a perfect winter day read!

You guys!! I have found my new candle obsession. @bookendcandleco Bookend Candle Co. is a handmade small business candle company that makes 100% soy wax candles that burn with a burn time of 50 hours! I have found that the scent description was spot on as well. . While this was a gifted candle to me, as always, I won’t promote something I wouldn’t purchase myself. And trust me, I will most definitely be purchasing more candles. There’s even a Rare Book Room candle, come on!!!! . Even better, Emily at Bookend is going to be a sponsor in my 🎉1K giveaway🎉so be sure to keep your eyes on this space for a chance to win your own Bookend Candle!!!!!

{#freebook from partner @atriabooks}. Happy pub day to this beautiful book. Years ago I fell in love with The Thirteenth Tale, and I look forward to the magical journey that awaits me in these pages. 📚 I’m starting to read this tonight as part of a #buddyread with some other awesomely wonderful #bookstagrammers and looking forward to discussing it!

I had so much fun reading this disaster of a holiday read. Even during this hectic time of year, I read it in two sittings! Thanks to @randomhouse and @netgalley for the free ebook. 🎄 Synopsis: Meet The Adults. Claire and Matt are no longer together but decide that it would be best for their daughter, Scarlett, to have a “normal” family Christmas. They can’t agree on whose idea it was to go to the Happy Forest holiday park, or who said they should bring their new partners. But someone did—and it’s too late to pull the plug. Claire brings her new boyfriend, Patrick (never Pat), a seemingly sensible, eligible from a distance Ironman in Waiting. Matt brings the new love of his life, Alex, funny, smart, and extremely patient. Scarlett, who is seven, brings her imaginary friend Posey. He’s a giant rabbit. Together the five (or six?) of them grit their teeth over Forced Fun Activities, drink a little too much after Scarlett’s bedtime, overshare classified secrets about their pasts . . . and before you know it, their holiday is a powder keg that ends where this novel begins—with a tearful, frightened call to the police. What happened? They said they’d all be adults about this. . . .

This book has been on my shelf forever, and thanks to a nudge and the #letstakaboutit buddy read, I finally read it (along with the Regulators earlier this month) . I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this book!! I wanted to get the end to see how it was all going to wrap up, but at the same time I didn’t want it to end. . As for team Regulators or team Desperation, I’m Switzerland.

{#freebook from #partner @littlebirdpublicity } . The Tuscan Child was one of my favorite books this year. I am so eager to jump into another @authorrhysbowen novel. (Bonus points that my outfit matches the book 😉) 📘 Synopsis: As the great or continues to take its toll, headstrong 21-year-old Emily Price is determined to contribute to the war effort. She is convinced by a cheeky and handsome Australian pilot that she can do more, and it is not long before she falls in love with him and excepts this proposal of marriage. When he sent back to the front, Emily volunteers as a land girl tending to the neglected grounds of a large Devinshire estate. It is here that Emily discovers the long forgotten journals of the medicine woman who devoted her life to her about garden. The journals inspire Emily and in the wake of a devastating news they are her saving grace. Emily‘s lover has not only died a hero but has left her terrified – and with child. Since no one knows it and we was never married, she adopt the charade of War widow.
