Welcome to another TTT! It’s Christmastime, which means my blog is decked out in festive cheer! Feel free to use the Christmas version of the TTT logo on your posts this month if you’d like.

This week’s topic is a freebie, so I’ve chosen to feature books with snow on the covers. And, of course, I’m also picking Christmas books because they are all I’m thinking about this month! Does anyone else read Christmas books all December? It’s my favorite time of year for reading, and I’m doing my best to read as many as I can. There’s so many good ones to choose from! I’m excited to see what topic you chose for this week’s freebie. Don’t mind me if I run around the linky and steal some of them for future TTTs (I’ll credit you, of course!)!

What topic did you pick this week?

Welcome to another TTT! For those who celebrated, I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! As is always the case, as soon as Thanksgiving was over it was time for Christmas! I spent the entire weekend decorating my house for Christmas, and it’s all cozy and beautiful now. I love this time of the year!

Anyway, on to this week’s prompt: Books Set In X. Pick any setting and share books that are all set there. This could be a specific continent or country, a state, outer space, underwater, on a ship or boat, at the beach, etc. I decided to embrace my current obsession with romantic fantasy novels and go with books set in imaginary worlds. Most of these worlds are a little scary or dangerous (or are just places I’d never want to live) so I’m not necessarily saying I’d want to jump into the pages and live there, I just like reading stories that take place, well, not here. lol. I’m excited to see what direction you took this prompt in this week!

1. Fourth Wing and Iron Flameby Rebecca Yarros

2. Ledge by Stacey McEwan

3. The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen

4. The Winter King by C.L. Wilson

5. A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

6. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

7. The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson

8. The Crown’s Game by Evelyn Skye

9. Hunted by Meagan Spooner

10. A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

Do you have any fantasy novels (preferably with romance) that you recommend?
I’d love more books to add to my to-read list!

Welcome to another TTT! This Thursday is Thanksgiving in the USA, so I thought it would be fun to share the reasons why I love and am thankful for books today!

1. Books allow me to escape my life (and, let’s be honest, I need that a LOT. lol).
2. I get to visit places and worlds I’d never get to see otherwise.
3. I love meeting characters and finding new friends in them.
4. I love finding an all-consuming, amazing book and not being able to think of anything else until I finish it (I am not thankful for book hangovers, though!).
5. I get to fall in love with so many swoony book boyfriends!
6. They look really pretty on my shelves.
7. I enjoy building my permanent collection of favorite books, and they all make me smile and remember so many good reading memories every time I see them!
8. I’m never bored. I have a book with me wherever I go!
9. I’ve met so many amazing people because of my love of books. Authors, people in publishing, bloggers, narrators, and other book lovers are some of the coolest people to know.
10. Some stories have changed my life and encouraged me to think differently, taught me things, and pushed me to take risks to become a better version of myself.

Why are you thankful for books?

Do you celebrate Thanksgiving? What are some of your Thanksgiving traditions? What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food? I am so excited for mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, rolls, and pie!

Have a happy Thanksgiving with your family! I hope it’s a day filled with yummy food and lots of love.

Welcome to another TTT! This week’s topic was submitted by Rissa, and is Top Ten Mainstream Popular Authors that I Still Have Not Read. Most of the ones in my list I have no interest in reading, but there’s a few whose books are on my TBR!

1. Robyn Carr (I want to read her Virgin River series!)
2. Brandon Sanderson
3. Jane Austen ( I will continue to try P&P until it sticks because I love the movies.)
4. Colleen Hoover (absolutely no interest)
5. Stephen King (NOPE)
6. Beverly Jenkins (I have a couple of hers on my shelf that I want to read!)
7. Jojo Moyes
8. Diana Gabaldon (Not interested.)

What popular authors have you never read? Do we have any in common? Which books by these authors on my list should I try first?
