Tis Almost the Season! *<|:)

The mods and I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season full of love and laughter. And, a safe, healthy, happy New Year!

~ Share Your Favorites ~
We like to create a new masthead similar to those we've had in previous years. Let's start a list of our favorite books of 2023 and I'll add the cover of each book to our banner for 2024. Sticking with the same size, I can add 54 covers. Please copy the list below and repost with your favorite book (similar to our BEST OF threads) so that we do not have any duplicates.

Your favorite(s) do not have to have a 2023 publish date; your choices must simply be those you read and enjoyed throughout the year.

Happy Holidays! Thank you for spending time with us! We hope you will continue to join us in the coming year. If you have a wishlist of things you'd like to see within the group in 2024, please stop by our Suggestion Box thread to share your thoughts.

2024 Masthead
Help us pick books for our 2024 series masthead!
Your favorite(s) does not have to have a 2023 publish date; your choices must simply be those you read and enjoyed throughout the year.

Copy and paste this list, then add your favorite(s). No duplicates, please. Please make sure to link to your specific book choice so I know which book/cover to include, thanks.
Masthead will accommodate 54 covers only.

Its a completely different kind of series, but I like the concept of these mystery places that people can seek out to fall off the grid. Of course there is always something bad, or it wouldn't be a mystery. :)

Good idea as they are all good in the feels department.

I was going to post a few more on my Dec 30 post but the site was so buggy I left.

Very true!
