We are officially done with our first full week of 2022! Here in North Dakota we thought it would be a lot of fun to kick off the year with windchills of -50°.

My family thought the weather wasn’t exciting enough, so we really got the party started by coming down with the flu. Therefore, I have decided that next week is when we officially kick off 2022 in our household.

This weekend I seem to have a bookshop theme going on with my reading, and I’m loving it!

I started 𝗜𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 a few days ago, and I’m hooked on this cozy mystery full of twists! I know I’ll have this one finished today!

For our January buddy read @jennyw_reads and I are reading 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻. We both love historical fiction from this time period, so I have a feeling that we will fly through this story of hope and resilience.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻: August 1939: London prepares for war as Hitler’s forces sweep across Europe. Grace Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers and drawn curtains that she finds on her arrival are not what she expected. And she certainly never imagined she’d wind up working at Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London.

Through blackouts and air raids as the Blitz intensifies, Grace discovers the power of storytelling to unite her community in ways she never dreamed—a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of the war.

𝗜𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀: Known for her window displays, Nora Pennington decides to showcase fictional heroines like Roald Dahl’s Matilda and Madeline Miller’s Circe for Halloween. But a family-values group disapproves of the magical themes and wastes no time launching a modern-day witch hunt. Former friends are targeting not only Nora and Miracle Books, but a new shopkeeper, Celeste, who’s been selling CBD products.

Nora and her friends are doing their best to put an end to the strife—but then someone puts an end to a life. It’s up to Nora and friends to sort out the clues before more bodies turn up.
