Hello Molly!

I read the midnight library last year and I really enjoyed it!

About Jenny colgan, I just finished The Christmas bookshop, it was a cosy and comforting book, I loved the characters and of course the book shop! I read last year the other one you mentioned in the list but it has a different title (the bookshop on the corner 🙄 don't know why the book is the same but the title is different!)

I have to say Jenny colgan's book are good for cozing up and enjoy something light 😊

Two of the books I definitely loved this year are Elif Shafak's The island of missing trees it takes place in Cyprus and UK, telling the story of the island and the people living there dispites of their cultural differences and the war that came later and through the love story of a family and a fig tree.

The other one is the reading list of Sarah Nisha Adams, tells the story of a friendship of 2 very different people and the power the books have in their lives. It's both heartwarming and sad, some things happening in the book are dramatic but I really enjoyed it.

Have a lovely Christmas 🎁🎄

I love to read and I love to listen to audible books while I do housework or drive around doing errands. Jenny Colgan is my favorite cozy author. I’ve read everything she’s written so far. I tend to get on a series and read them all. I’m reading the 3 Pines series by Louise Penny right now, which I love. I also loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, a favorite of mine too. If I must choose, then my favorite novel this year was Lessons in Chemistry. On a side note, was nice to read a quick little novel with a vegan protagonist called Marrying Myself by Crissy Benson. There is always so much animal eating in so many stories having a positive vegan in a story was awesome. In 2024 I’m looking forward to reading The Salt Path and Landlines per your recommendation. Thank you.
