For 2025 I have decided to have a go at Spell the Month in Books which is hosted at Reviews From the Stacks. The link party opens on the first Saturday of the month, but I won't be posting until after that as I already have other things scheduled every Saturday and for the first two Sundays of the month. I will be sharing this post with Sunday Salon hosted at Readerbuzz.
The theme for this month is Giftable. The biggest challenge is finding three E books!
D - Dinner by Nagi Maehashi - We have been cooking out of this cook book for more than a year every week and I am sure anyone could find recipes to cook out!
E - Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson - This book is funny, irreverent and the start of a series, so you could give someone the next book next year as well! (my review)
C - I am cheating with this one but picked it because it is a lot of fun and is now part of my Christmas tradition. I think I totally get away with it because after all the C in December sounds like an S anyway! Secret History of Christmas by Bill Bryson
E - Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell - This is an older book but it was on that gives you all the feels. It is also a YA book so would work for a range of giftees. (my review)
M - Me Before You by Jojo Moyes - Another book with all the feels. I have read, and loved, this a few times now! (my review)
B - Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi - This might be something a little different but it gives Japanese foodie charm vibes. (my review)
E - Emma by Jane Austen - maybe a lovely special edition in honour of Jane Austen's 250th birthday.
R - Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby van Pelt - I would recommend the audio of this one. The guy who does the voice of the octopus was exceptional and he is voicing in it the upcoming movie!
I hope that you all get the books you want as gifts this year!
Merry Christmas everyone!
I loved all the books on your list that I've read (I haven't read the first two.) Very clever prompt.

That holiday book may be the one book of Bryson's that I have not read. I will add it to my list and see if it is available around here!
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
ReplyDeleteWishing you and yours a very merry Christmas
Fun post! I don't think I realized that Bryson did a Christmas book. That sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that Bill Bryson book before. It sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI've loved every Bryson book that I've read. I have Secret History of Christmas by him but haven't read it yet.
