I absolutely love the tv series I was so desperate to read the book I took it on holiday and couldn't get into it I came back and tried again. I enjoyed reading it but i was disappointed with the ending but I think that's because I have watched the tv series first and they have took it so much further I may have felt different if I had read it first.

I absolutely loved this! The storyline was really interesting and you're hooked right away wondering how a bed share would work. The characters were written really well and I liked the character development of both Tiff and Leon. I loved the addition of the side story of Leon's brother and it fit really nicely in while adding to the main storyline. Justin was suitably detestable. I would definitely reccomend this as a holiday read.

The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Thanksgiving in Books
Oct 7, 2020
Wishing all my friends in the US a Happy Thanksgiving! In Ellen Cooney's novel "Thanksgiving," she follows the Morley women over 350 years, using their ancestral home and the food they prepared for their Thanksgiving table as the focal points. This is a totally unique idea that has been very well executed. You can read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/12/13/one-family-one-holiday-many-generations-of-women/

There is a new book out for the holiday season. I know children are excited for them to come. This latest book, "Rambee Boo & and the Christmas Sock," has just been released. What a lovely story and heartfelt to get into the Christmas spirit.
I thought this was adorable. The first page has something special. What is Rock reading? Can you spot it? Maybe your child can. This book counts down to Christmas and gets the house ready. Will Rock and the family find Rambee Boo's favorite sock?
I find this book to be great for children to learn a few skills and reading skills. Children can somewhat play hide and seek with trying to find Rambee Boo's favorite sock. Can you see it or your child or children? There is rhyming in this book as well. What adventure will Rambee Boo get into during this holiday season?
The pictures are enjoyable to look at and done well. Children will love following Rock and Rambee Boo as they search and look for the sock. There are holiday traditions shown throughout the book, along with getting the house decorated for Christmas. Will Rambee Boo find his favorite sock, or will he be sad. You do not know, but a Christmas miracle can happen. I hope your children enjoy this book and continue to believe in Christmas magic.
I wonder what Rambee Boo's next adventure will be? I can't wait to find out more and read more to see what's in store for Rambee Boo and his family.

This is the second book in this series by this author. This is a story about a single dad falling in love. You will fall in love with the characters as you read. This book has lots of romance with some well placed suspense to keep you reading. A fantastic holiday/beach read book. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2103 KP) rated The Thin Man in Books

After seeing all the movies, I finally read the book. Nick and Nora Charles are trying to enjoy a Christmas in New York City, but a case involving one of Nick's former clients keeps interrupting the holiday. I found this book lacked some of the spark of the movie version, but it was still enjoyable.

Jenni (8 KP) rated Thirteen Reasons Why: (TV Tie-in) in Books
Jul 10, 2018
Read this on holiday after watching Season 1 on Netflix. As an avid reader, I usually enjoy the book more than the movie/tv show as it has more details, more story, but in this case I didn't enjoy the book as much as the show. I just didn't get the same feeling from the book. It might have been different if I'd read the book first, but I don't know what was different this time.

A portable library
I resisted getting this for a long time as I love holding a book and find just turning the pages deeply satisfying. However with kindle I can take a whole pile of books on holiday without having to carry a ton of extra luggage. This is great if you NEED to be able to read and you can't manage to take a bookcase with you wherever you go.
