Welcome to another TTT! And Merry Christmas! I’m writing this post to you on Christmas evening, still sick with covid-19. I hope you had a nice, relaxing holiday with those you love. My family and I are all sick and have been in bed all day, so we are postponing our Christmas until everyone is well enough to enjoy it. At this point, we’re shooting to have New Year’s Eve be our Christmas Eve but we’re taking things day by day. I’m on my 12th day of being sick, and I’m hoping things get better soon.
Since I haven’t opened gifts from my family yet, this post will not be my complete holiday book haul but it does include titles I received from last week’s bookish wishes TTT as well as my #TBTBSanta haul, a book or two I got on sale, and a 2024 title I received for review.
1. Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas
Thank you to Cheryl Malandrinos, who sent me the paperback for my collection! Lisa Kleypas is my favorite author, and I’m collecting all of her books for my personal collection. This one is a favorite of mine!
2. Till Death by Jennifer Armentrout
Thank you so much, Nicole at BookWyrm Knits for this paperback! Romantic suspense is one of my favorite genres, and I am so excited about this one!
3. Solo for the Season by Martha Keyes
Thank you, R! I don’t know exactly who you are, as the gift note only said “R”. I love Martha Keyes, and dove into this one right away. I finished it night before last, and it was a really sweet story that lifted my spirits and gave me a fuzzy dose of festive cheer!
4. Kissing for Keeps by Martha Keyes
R sent me two Martha Keyes books, and I’m so grateful! Thank you! I borrowed this book and loved it so much that I wanted my own copy to read again and again. I’m so excited to have my very own now!
5. Three Holidays and a Wedding by Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley
This book and the next two came from my Broke & Bookish Secret Santa, Nathalie! Thank you again, Nathalie! I love holiday books, so she knew what she was doing when she sent me these.
6. A Season for Love by Lisa Kleypas
7. A Cross-Country Christmas by Courtney Walsh
8. 26 Ways to Come Home for the Holidays by Jennifer Joy
This was on my wish list and popped up as free, so I grabbed it! I love it when that happens.
9. New York, New Year, New You by Rachael Bloome
This is free on Kindle right now!
10. A Ruse of Shadows by Sherry Thomas
I got this for review on Netgalley! When all my Christmas romance reading is over, I’m going to need something totally different and this sounds great!
What books have you recently added to your bookshelf?
As we close out another year of TTT, I wanted to thank you for participating in this fun weekly list-making meme with me. TTT will turn 14 years old in 2024, and I’m delighted that it’s been so successful and become such a fun part of the book community! If I’m being honest, I’m also floored that there’s been enough topics to keep it going this long. LOL. I wish you a happy and healthy (no covid!) New Year, and that all your dreams come true. See you in 2024!
I love that TTT has been going on for so long. I did my first ones in 2013, it looks like, and even though I’ve been out of the blogging scene for years, I’m happy to come back to see it still going strong 10 years later. Merry Christmas! And happy new year 2024!
Rachael and Jennifer’s are both titles I clearly NEED to read more about! They look like they might be fun reads. Going only on cover art, of course. ;) Hope you enjoy ALL of these. Happy reading and sending the best get well wishes.
Oh wow, you have been sick before with Covid right? I hope you can indeed celebrate Christmas soon!

I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you and your family feel better soon. I know several people who have Covid right now. It’s really going around.
OOoh nice! These are all new to me ones except for Till Death! I did enjoy that one! Hope you enjoy all of your newest reads!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Being sick over Christmas is always a bummer :-( Half of my family had a cold all last week, were all healthy enough to go to church Christmas Eve and Christmas morning… and then my son woke up with a cold this morning :-( Not sure if it’s the same one others had last week or a fresh one — we shall see!
Anyway, hope you feel better soon :-) And, of your books, the Courtney Walsh one really catches my eye! I’ve read a few of her books and liked them a lot.
Ooh, that’s a nice holiday list!
I’m so sorry you’re still sick! What a bummer. I’ve got a cough that won’t go away, but it’s pretty mild, thank goodness. I hope you and your family all feel better soon and that you can enjoy a wonderful delayed Christmas celebration together.
THREE HOLIDAYS AND A WEDDING looks really cute!
Happy TTT!

Looks like you’re all stocked up on great reads!
Hope you feel better soon, Jana. Enjoy Married by Morning and your other books.
I am so sorry you all are still sick!! I loved A Cross-Country Christmas and am currently reading A Cross-Country Wedding. Martha Keyes is an author I meant to get to this year, but never did. Hopefully next year. I hope you all are feeling better soon.
So sorry to hear you have Covid. Get well soon!
Merry Christmas, Jana! I hope you feel better soon and enjoy all of these books!
I didn’t post this week. I hope you love Three Holidays and a Wedding–it was really fun.
That‘s a very festive looking list! I hope you hade a nice Christmas!
Ops, sorry, I only just read your post properly. I am crossing my fingers that you are all recovering soon and will get a chance to a nice Christmas feast in the next few days…
Merry Christmas! I hope you’re feeling better at last… being sick over the holidays is no fun at all. And you’re welcome! I hope you enjoy the book!
