You guys! How is it almost Christmas already? Thankfully, I’m all ready to roll and I’m not running around at the last minute this year. Last year all 4 of us were very sick on Christmas Day so keep your fingers crossed for us this year. That’s been my biggest fear leading up to this point.
I know that this time of year can be very hard and lonely for some people so if you’re one of those, I’ll be thinking about you and am sending my love!
Just Released
I’m not going to lie. The only reason I chose this book as my favorite new release is for the title. It certainly makes me want to read it just to see what it’s all about!
Cover Story
How fun is this cover?! This book has been recommended for fans of the cult classic TV show Firefly so this nerdy girl is definitely intrigued. YA books always have the best covers!
In My Cup
I’m getting caught up on my 24 Days of Tea advent calendar from David’s Tea today and right now, I’ve got the delicious Zest Wishes in my cup. If you are a fan of Juicy Orange you’ll love this one too. Such a nice orange flavor!

December 26, 2018 at 10:06 pmI love these Tea Talks. OK, that book cover is HILARIOUS. My cousin and uncle have this theory that is very much related to that cover: Everyone else is assholes, not us. LOL

December 28, 2018 at 1:13 pmI love this segment!! And seeing that lovely cuppa tea made me want to go make one for myself…even though I’ve had about three cups already and it’s just past noon, lol.
That title for the LA book is hilarious. I do not like California, so right away I’m inclined to believe the author in whatever she will say. 🙂 Looking forward to your review of that one!! I’m getting more into memoirs and non-fiction, so this may be one to add to my list…
Also, I have to tell my husband about the FIREFLY-esque book. He loved the series/season. I liked it well enough but my main Whedon love will always be Buffy. I’m not much into space stuff. Or Western stuff. Hence, not loving FIREFLY as much. But, even I have to admit…River is freakin’ awesome. 😀
