A 2025 Christmas Advent Book Challenge – Day 13 @theboldbookclub

Day 13 – my favorite snowmance . . . that spot is taken by Mistletoe Magic in the Highlands by Bella Osborne. It’s a sweet and fun read that often had me chuckling and taught me a couple of new Scottish words.

EXCERPT: It wasn’t a conventional relationship but after what she’d been through this felt like a safer way to get to know someone. And while she didn’t like to think of herself as superficial, he did look hot in his profile picture. She’d initially been attracted by his auburn hair – a very similar shade to her own. He had the most stunning blue eyes she’d ever seen and a well-groomed beard.
Fraser had a sort of ruggedness about his features, not that she’d studied his tiny picture for hours on end. Okay, maybe a couple more hours than was healthy, one of the many dangers of working from home. She was keen to show him off to her friends and was speedily navigating the app. For some reason Liv couldn’t get his details to come up. She also couldn’t seem to find their lengthy message thread. The app was likely playing up so she refreshed it and waited impatiently for it to reload. Still nothing. His profile, along with their messages, was gone.
An icy sensation swept over her and settled in her gut. ‘What’s wrong?’ asked Charlotte, quickly sensing all was not well.
‘It’s gone. His picture has been deleted and all of our messages,’ Liv said in a small, defeated voice.
‘Ghosted again?’ said Abigail with a hiccup.
The phrase shot alarm through her.
It couldn’t have happened again. Could it?

ABOUT ‘MISTLETOE MAGIC IN THE HIGHLANDS’: Olivia Bingham has bad luck with men.

She’s been ghosted more times than she can count, but this Christmas she’s finally met someone really special Fraser Douglas, a Scottish chef working at an idyllic hotel in the Highlands. He’s sweet and sensitive, thoughtful and funny – not to mention incredibly good looking.

Just when she thinks things couldn’t be going any better, Fraser’s dating profile vanishes, and Olivia fears the worst. Frustrated and wounded, Olivia decides she’s going to drive all the way out to Loch Lochy Hotel and confront Fraser.

But when she arrives, things don’t go exactly as she hoped. Worse still, Fraser doesn’t seem to have any idea who she is….

MY THOUGHTS: A fun read that had me chuckling throughout and left me with a smile on my face.

Mistletoe Magic in the Highlands was an absolutely delightful read. I applauded Liv for taking a stand and heading off to confront the ‘ghoster’ face to face. She is fed up with being walked over, used and discarded like a used tissue. Most unlike the usual Liv who is quite meek and non-confrontational. But a woman can only take so much . . . and Liv has reached and exceeded that point.

But, of course, life rarely runs to plan and Liv finds herself in all kinds of difficulties. While the setting of snow-covered Highlands is majestic, it causes more than a few problems but it also enables her to stay in the castle where Fraser is chef, along with various other people also stranded by the weather.

The characters are superbly quirky. Liv is having to think on her feet to maintain her facade. Fraser is a grump with occasional bright spots. His cousin Effie is the absolute star of this book along with Ginger, a Scottish Highland cattle beast. I fell in love with her and would love to keep her in my back yard, except that she is a bit of an escape artist and thinks she’s a dog. Robbie Williams also makes an appearance (not that Robbie Williams) and there’s a sprightly group of OAP who have some surprising talents.

The quirky little twist at the end was perfect and had me laughing again.

I also learned a couple of new Scottish words – flindrikin Something light, flimsy and unsubstantial, a slight snow-shower and oorlich Of persons: miserable-looking from cold, hunger or illness, pinched, haggard, shivery, out-of-sorts; of the weather: damp, chilly and unpleasant, raw, bleak, depressing; of things: sad and depressing, eerie.

If you are wanting a book to warm the cockles of your heart and get you in the spirit of Christmas, look no further.

One Day and Forever by Shari Low

EXCERPT: Kara McIntyre
In the last week she has quit her job as a costume designer at the Clydeside TV Studio, called off her wedding and moved out of the flat she shared with her fiancé, Josh. 2025 isn’t starting off well.

ABOUT ‘ONE DAY AND FOREVER’: As dawn breaks, four people are planning journeys that could change their lives forever…

Kara McIntyre is supposed to be jetting off to her destination wedding in Hawaii. However, a last-minute hitch appears to have left her without a job, home and, more importantly, a fiancé.

TV sensation Ollie Chiles and Kara always have each other’s backs. But when his wife goes viral in a compromising clinch with another man, Ollie must choose between supporting his best friend in her hour of need or going home to save his marriage.

Alice Brookes is flying away to a new life after surviving a horrendous marriage and a very public scandal… until a stranger brings a letter from the past that could change everything.

After saying goodbye to someone he loves, Zac Conlan should be heading back to Dublin. Now a shocking discovery is threatening to change his plans and his future.

When weather delays their flights, Kara, Ollie, Alice and Zac discover that storms are brewing… and the turbulence is about to shake their worlds.

MY THOUGHTS: A touching and fun story of friendship, family, and lost and found love.

If, like me, you’re a compulsive reader of Shari Low’s books, you will have come across some of these characters before. I think I fell in love with the straight-talking Val’s character the very first time I came across her. She and Alice become friends in One Long Weekend. Don’t worry if you haven’t read it, no previous knowledge of the characters is necessary to appreciate One Day and Forever. There are also little cameo appearances from several other characters from this author’s other books. I loved catching up with their lives again. The list of characters and their relationships to one another at the beginning of the book is very helpful, whether you’ve read her previous books or not.

Low writes compelling and realistic characters, and plot lines that could be happening to any one of us at any time.

Told from the points of view of Kara, Ollie, Alice and Zac, One Day and Forever focuses on how these characters react to the life changing events that take over their lives. I was invested in and rooting for all four of them.

I love the intricate relationships, the way friendship is so important to these people; the way they care about and look after one another.

Low writes in a beautifully relaxed manner with equal importance being given to plot and characters. Neither is sacrificed in the name of a great story, and write great stories she does! I am always immediately hooked and drawn into the situations she creates. Drama is interspersed with humor (Val has a very acerbic tongue at times), but there is also a lot of hope along with the heartbreak.

I will continue to read everything Shari Low writes. One Day and Forever is entertaining, heart-warming, and charming and filled with family, friendship and love.

A 2025 Christmas Advent Book Challenge – Day 12 @theboldbookclub

Day 12 – my cosy reading spot and a cosy mystery.

This is my favorite reading spot – lovely all year round (except when it is raining of course! This is where I read in the summer as well as on sunny winter days.

And if it is raining, or simply too cold and/or windy to be outside, I have a little nook right beside the chimney of the downstairs fire to nestle into.

I sit in the chair and rest my feet against the chimney guard while the fire roars downstairs and that keeps my toes toasty warm!

This is a cosy mystery I am really looking forward to: Murder By the Book by M.R.G. Davies.

It is book #1 of a new series, The Library Detectives.

‘Utterly captivating. Perfect for fans of The Marlow Murder Club Mysteries’ Michael Wood, bestselling crime fiction author

‘A humorous, gripping cosy mystery story that every crime fiction lover will really enjoy’ Fiona Leitch, bestselling cosy crime authorNothing is deadlier than angry readers… especially when you murder one of their own.

When the manager of The Quaint Bookshop is found slumped between the shelves, the four members of the shop’s reading group decide to put into action all the skills they’ve picked up from their favourite fictional detectives.

If anyone knows how to solve a killer of a crime, it’s a team of murder-mystery superfans. The police might be investigating but the reading group are on the case…

The Lighthouse at the Cove by Amy Clipston

EXCERPT: The sign came into view – Coral Cove, next exit.
Yes! A town! All was not lost!
‘Coral Cove,’ she muttered. ‘Let’s hope they have a mechanic close by.
She merged onto the off ramp and held her breath, praying the sign for a repair shop would appear right in front of her, like a mirage in the desert.
Instead, an adorable Welcome to Coral Cove! sign featuring a sandy beach and colorful umbrellas filled her vision.
‘Nice,’ she whispered to herself. ‘So there’s a gorgeous beach. What else do they have? Any mechanics?’
And then a postcard-perfect little town came into view. Kaiah slowly drove down main street and spied several small shops, a town hall, an elementary school. Everything looked like it belonged in a coffee table book of Americana. In the distance near the shoreline, she spotted a tall column wrapped in black-and-white stripes. It took her a second to realise she was staring at a real-life lighthouse.
She’d found civilization! And not only that, a storybook beach town. Surely she’d end up okay in this place, right?

ABOUT ‘THE LIGHTHOUSE AT THE COVE’: Sometimes the road home isn’t on a map.

After a painful breakup and a stalled career, journalist Kaiah Ross sets out on a reporting road trip down the East Coast, hoping the miles will help her find her way again. But when car trouble strands her in the postcard-perfect town of Coral Cove, she’s forced to stop running–and unexpectedly finds herself drawn into a life that feels like something out of a dream.

Reid Turner has spent years putting others first–his career as a firefighter, his spirited young daughter, Piper, and the small town he’s always called home. The last thing he’s looking for is a relationship. But from the moment Kaiah arrives, her kindness, warmth, and quiet strength stir something in him he thought was long buried.

When Kaiah agrees to help promote the town’s annual “Light the Dark” Festival–a celebration meant to save Coral Cove’s historic lighthouse–what begins as a simple arrangement quickly turns into something more. Late nights of planning under string lights, shared laughter over coffee, and quiet, heartfelt moments with Piper begin to weave Kaiah into the fabric of Reid’s life . . . and into his heart.

But just as love begins to blossom, Kaiah is faced with an offer that could relaunch her career and take her far from Coral Cove. Now, she’s forced to choose between the life she thought she wanted and the unexpected love that’s given her a glimpse of home.

MY THOUGHTS: I can always rely on Amy Clipston for a heartfelt and touching romance read!

Kaiah Ross has two dreams – being a successful travel writer and having a life partner. The sort of life partner she could text inside jokes to, someone to decorate the Christmas tree with, someone who would pick up orange juice on the way home because he knew it was her favorite.

Instead, she is barely scratching a living as a freelance writer and has recently split from the man she thought she would spend the rest of her life with. He even took her dog when he left. And now her car has broken down right outside Nowheresville, she’s facing expensive repairs, and she doesn’t have enough money for more than a day or two at a cheap motel . . .

The Lighthouse at Coral Cove is such a sweet read! Not sickly sweet but intriguingly sweet, charmingly sweet. I was so invested in Kaiah’s story.

Reid seemed almost too good to be true, but then later on he closes his emotional door on Kaiah once or twice, so I gave him Kudos for having backbone. As well as backbone he has the cutest daughter, Piper. She falls in love with Miss Kaiah almost as fast as Reid does.

So, with the cards stacking up like this, what could possibly go wrong? 🤐My lips are sealed. But let me just say I had tears pricking at my eyes more than once during this read. Happy tears? Sad tears? A mixture of both? Not telling.

Both have emotional baggage to deal with. Reid is firmly settled in his hometown of Coral Cove whereas Kaiah is just passing through on her way to better places. Both feel the strong tug of attraction, of affection. But what will win? – Kaiah’s desire for a successful career? Or her longing for a family? There are some difficult decisions to be made.

The Lighthouse at the Cove eclipses all the other books I have read by Amy Clipston. A strongly recommended read.

A 2025 Christmas Advent Book Challenge – Day 11 @theboldbookclub

Day 11 – a book with an animal on the cover

I always enjoy Julie Houston’s books and look what I just found available for request on NetGalley from @theboldbookclub

A favorite author and a border collie on the cover!

🏠 Jess Allen has always played it safe. 🏠

She married her high school sweetheart, stayed in her hometown and lives right next door to her mum Lisa and younger sister Sorrel. But with a new job on the horizon and her family no longer living a stone’s throw away, she’s going to have to get used to her comfortable life shifting into something new.

Jess finds the idea of being a part of the White House – the village’s new and stylish restaurant – incredibly daunting, but she knows she is more than capable. And with her role at the care home uncertain, this would give her the chance to finally pursue her passion for cooking.

But as her professional life soars, her romantic life is thrown into turmoil. Having welcomed back into her life her no-good ex, she’s quickly questioning her decision – especially as new faces in Beddingfield begin to catch her eye.

As the familiar rhythms of life shift and long-held routines are upended, she starts to see that sometimes change is no bad thing at all. And someone who encourages her to take a risk – even if it’s the last person she ever expected – might be just the thing she needed.

The Kill Clause by Lisa Unger

EXCERPT: Have you ever taken a good look at your contract?’ he asked that first night as we lay in bed.
The truth was no. I had honestly just signed anything Nora put in front of me, so naive, so desperate was I to please her then. I had glanced through the pages, intimidated by the legal language, pretending not to be, and put my scrawl on the dotted line, rewarded by a wide smile form Nora, a warm hand on my shoulder. ‘Welcome to the Company, sweetie.’
‘Did Nora ever tell you about the termination agreement?’
Silence was my answer.
‘The termination agreement,’ he repeated as if I hadn’t heard him. ‘That if you get caught or fuck up, or endanger the firm in any way, the Company will end you without warning.’
‘You mean fire, disavow?’
Right. Sure. At the Company, thy call it the kill clause.’

ABOUT ‘THE KILL CLAUSE’: A hired killer finds herself caught between her conscience and her contract.

A hit woman’s work doesn’t stop for the holidays. As the advent calendar winds down, Paige slips into a palatial house, ignoring a blizzard of texts from her ex-husband. No surprise—Julian always gets maudlin this time of year. The real shock comes when the target is not alone. His young daughter is there too.

Risking the wrath of her organization, Paige retreats. There are some lines that, for personal reasons, she just won’t cross. But when she returns on Christmas Eve to finish the job, the girl is still there…along with someone even more startling. As the ghosts of her past gather—to haunt or to help, it’s unclear—Paige must confront old traumas and outwit her superiors to make it to Christmas morning alive.

MY THOUGHTS: I enjoyed this festive treat by Lisa Unger. I don’t think I can really call it a Christmas story, but it is set at Christmas and there is some goodwill involved, so maybe I can.

The Kill Clause is a quick (70 page), thrilling and easy read, especially, if like me, you are a fan of the moral dilemma.

Paige has always been loyal to Nora and ‘The Company’. But when she violates ‘The Company’ credo of get in, get out – complete the job with no questions asked, she senses a subtle shift in Nora’s attitude towards her. Then, she is given an ultimatum – ‘Do your job.’ There is no need for the ‘or else’ to be said.

But then there’s Apple . . .

Paige is a great character, hard not to like despite her occupation. Inside her head is an interesting place to be.

If you are in the market for a thrilling short story with plenty of action and a smidgeon of Christmas spirit, I recommend The Kill Clause. Unpredictable and with a surprise ending, it ticked a lot of my boxes. 🗡️🎅

This is book #6/10 for my 2025 Christmas Reading Challenge

A 2025 Christmas Advent Book Challenge – Day 10 @theboldbookclub

Day 10 – Your favorite festive treat . . .

We don’t do the whole big Christmas dinner thing. But the one thing we do love to have Christmas Day is garlic prawns on the barbeque with steak and salad.

Wha is your favorite festive treat?

What I’m reading, what I’m going to be reading and where I’ve been . . .

Happy hump day! It’s another lovely hot and sunny day today. I got up early this morning and washed and detailed the car in the relative cool so that the water wouldn’t be drying on the car and leaving water spots. I was taking three others to a 90th birthday lunch and would have felt embarrassed at picking them up in the state that it was – it honestly looked like I had been carting hay bales in it!

What I’m currently reading: My Kindle/NetGalley ARC is The Lighthouse at the Cove (Coral Cove #1) by Amy Clipston. I’m loving it and will be a definite starter for the rest of the series.

Sometimes the road home isn’t on a map.

I am currently listening to the audio of a backlist ARC of The Wrong Woman by O.J. Mullen. I wasn’t a great fan of his recent series about a family involved in organised crime, but I am loving this. This was published July 2024.

Everyone has secrets. Are yours worth dying for?

Julia Sutherland isn’t too sure about her new colleague. Ellis Kirkbride is friendly, charismatic and handsome, but there’s just something about him – a bit too slick, a bit too confident, and he stands a bit too close. Normally she’d share her concerns with her husband Rob, but he’s been distant lately and Julia has a secret he mustn’t find out.

Ellis Kirkbride thought he had found the right woman. She was everything he could want but she didn’t want him. And that was unacceptable…

My read-for-pleasure is Silver by Chris Hammer, #2 in the Martin Scarsden series and the book I nominated for the 500+ page category in my Aussie Readers Summer Bingo Challenge.

For half a lifetime, journalist Martin Scarsden has run from his past. But now there is no escaping. He’d vowed never to return to his hometown, Port Silver, and its traumatic memories. But now his new partner, Mandy Blonde, has inherited an old house in the seaside town and Martin knows their chance of a new life together won’t come again. Martin arrives to find his best friend from school days brutally murdered, and Mandy the chief suspect. With the police curiously reluctant to pursue other suspects, Martin goes searching for the killer. And finds the past I have one read waiting for him.

He’s making little progress when a terrible new crime starts to reveal the truth. The media descend on Port Silver, attracted by a story that has it all: sex, drugs, celebrity and religion. Once again, Martin finds himself in the front line of reporting. Yet the demands of deadlines and his desire to clear Mandy are not enough: the past is ever present.

I have one read for review due in the coming week – The Wild Card by Carolyn Brown. The remainder of my reading time will be spent catching up on titles I have missed reading due to pressure of time or simply by requesting more titles than I can possibly read.

When Lady Luck deals her a roadside diner in small-town Texas, a professional poker player discovers home may be the best win of all.

Professional poker player Carla Wilson’s luck runs dry in Tucson, leaving her with nothing but an SUV running on fumes and a deed to the Tumbleweed Bus Stop and Diner in small-town Texas. Her plan to sell the café and move on seems simple enough—until she meets the motherly cook who rules the kitchen with an iron skillet and the sunny waitress who treats her like a sister.

Then there’s Jackson Armstrong. The ex-military heir of a wealthy oil family has green eyes that make Carla forget her cards and a smile that suggests he’s playing for keeps. With a pair of matchmaking senior citizens and the café’s morning regulars cheering from the sidelines, Carla’s wandering soul begins to feel at home.

Now she’s discovering everything she never knew she needed—true friendship, a place to belong, and a love worth going all in for. Maybe Lady Luck knew exactly what she was doing from the start.

What I’ve been doing . . .

Our back yard hasn’t changed any since my photos last week. They squeezed in what they could between two jobs after they finished one early, and they hope to be back before Christmas. Pete and Rodney and Aaron have been talking about what’s next. I have put my idea forward, but it’s wait and see when they can get back. At the moment, I’m more interested in Kyle arriving home Saturday morning!

Friday morning I was out and about early running errands for Pete’s workplace, organising a meat order for their end-of-year barbeque and a few other things that seemed to take up most of the morning. They are frantically busy at the moment, and Pete is still starting at silly o’clock and will be working very Saturday until they break up 23rd December.

Saturday I mowed the front lawn and down the drive and pulled the odd weed from the garden. Because of the heat, there’s not too many growing at the moment but if it rains, I would imagine they’ll be back with a vengeance. I am having to water the flower garden every second day and my veges daily.

And there are tiny little avocados starting to appear on my tree. Excited as we never got any last season! I am making sure to give it plenty of water and am applying sheep and chicken manure pellets every two months.

I love avocados and usually keep Dustin and Luke well supplied too. We watched the F1 out of Abu Dhabi on the weekend, took 2 loads of old rotten timbers to the dump and spring cleaned the laundry. This time of the year we get overrun by daddy longlegs and their webs.

Monday I cleaned in the morning and went to work with Kay at the Club to go through gaming procedures with her as she has never worked with gaming machines previously. There are a few things the staff aren’t doing that they should be doing which could cause problems down the track if they are audited.

When I came home I made the chicken and walnut salad for the aquacise Christmas lunch for Tuesday, just omitting the walnuts (don’t want them to go soggy) and not putting it into the serving dish lined with lettuce leaves until Tuesday just before we left.

We all had a lovely time, although we divided into two groups – those who sat inside in the aircon (it was 31C at lunchtime and got hotter) and those of us who sat out on the patio at Sue’s house.

From l to r – Mike, Wayne, Jill, Cathy, Colleen and Kay.

Elaine and Ros (Rosaline)

Ros and Suzanne. Every time I got the camera out, our host, Sue, disappeared into the kitchen.

Ros and I had gone out early and helped Sue set up, then stayed behind and helped clear up. Sue does a lot for our group and is really the glue that holds us all together. She’s also a lot of fun!

I went to the library after we got home and collected Silver by Chris Hammer, which I’d had a hold on and also purchased from the sales table ‘Jackie, Ethel, Joan – Women of Camelot’ by J. Randy Taraborrelli. I am fascinated by the Kennedy women, the men not so much.

I just can’t seem to catch up on writing my book reviews at the moment. I seem to always have two to write, no matter how many I have written!

Today I have been to a 90th birthday lunch.

Denise apparently couldn’t make up her mind if she wanted lemon cheesecake or pavlova for her birthday cake, so her daughter combined them!😂🤣 It was a lovely day out but, honestly, I couldn’t face that much sugar!

I’m supposed to be going to our line dancing Christmas dinner tonight at the same place we had Denise’s birthday lunch. I don’t know if I can face it! I feel all food and peopled out . . .

Counting down until Saturday morning. Kyle is taking the red-eye flight from Perth to Auckland which means I am going to have to leave home about 4 am to be there in time to meet the plane. Excited! It feels like I have only just come home from Perth when it has been almost 12 months, but it also feels like forever since I have seen Kyle.

So while he is home I will be posting only intermittently and probably reading very little too which is why I deliberately kept my reading load light this month. So please don’t think I have abandoned you if I am not dropping in to read your posts regularly. Normality will return in the New Year!

Have a great week and I’ll see you when I see you!
