It’s Bookmas Day 8, which means we’re unwrapping Book #5 from my bookish advent calendar! In this video I’m doing a cozy little unboxing/unwrap and setting myself up for what I’ll be reading during days 9–10 of the month (hopefully—because we all know my TBR can be absolute bookish chaos). I also point you to the earlier unwrappings and my advent calendar intro so you can follow along with the full lineup and see how my reading plans are evolving as we go. I also shout out the titles that have been in the mix for this advent calendar stretch—Ask for Andrea, The Elements, The Butcher, If It Makes You Happy, and Long Time Gone—so if you’re looking for ideas for a winter thriller moment, a book club pick, or just something fun to slot into your own December reading, you’ve got options. The whole vibe is low-pressure and community-focused: come hang out, read with me, and let’s make Bookmas feel cozy and safe (with a little chaos, obviously).
