Themes:

Green cover

Darkness (the winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, at least in the northern hemisphere)

Holidays

In! Love green cover theme btw.

Its time for recs, we can pick for each other Elena and if anyone else joins after we will pick for them and they can pick for us as well.

Looking for anything in particular?

As usual, I'm up for almost everything, though bonus points for something cozy :) What about you Brittany?

Nothing over 600 pages. My attention span in December doesn't hold long enough usually. Otherwise I am up for basically whatever

@Brittany here are my pick for you (I tried to choose shorter ones).

Green cover
- it's funny and it's 30+ romance, could be interesting. I remember enjoying it.
- books about books is always something interesting to pick, I didn't read it, but the description sounds interesting.
- I remember you've mentioned loving that Netflix show (Knives Out and Glass Onion) and the first book reminded me of them. Same vibes, same mysterious and rich atmosphere.

Darkness
- I loved the series and it's dark and cold.

Holidays
- that book just screams Christmas and it's comforting and good

Bonus
- it doesn't fit into any category, but I've noticed you have it on your TBR. Well, it's definitely on a longer side, but it's so unique and captivating.

Thanks Elena! Great options!
I finally put a hold on Inheritance Games, I really should read that one. It says 10 week wait though.
Funnily enough I just took out Winter of the Witch, decided it was time to finish the series and its the right season for it!

Elena here are your picks

Green cover I know nothing about this but I came across it and its a cozy with a green cover set at Christmas so it sounds perfect for the season.
Looks like this is the next wayward children for you, and well green grass fits
from your tbr


Darkness: I just read this one and its horror with some good dark twisty moments. I got you to read another of her books earlier so thought I'd keep the Armstrong recs going
on your tbr, I think dark in the cover counts
also on your tbr (and mine too for that matter) dark in the title and the series is called the Winter Sea so it seems fitting. Dark dreams, spectral creatures and pirates, sounds good to me.

Holidays cute sapphic romance. Best part of this book though is the setting, Smithsonian musuems. I loved all the dead fish details. The drama parts weren't my favourite, but it was still a worthwhile read.
from your tbr and looks cute. Holidays set in a bookstore what's not to like.

I'm glad you like the selection! I also love your picks. I really want to read Jade City (actually wanted to read it for a long time, but couldn't get my hands on it) and unfortunately still can't get it fast.
So I decided to go with Across the Green Grass Fields as I'm really into the series and enjoyed almost all the books (except the first one).

I'm finally listening to Winter of the Witch! The start with (view spoiler)[ the death of Solivay made me so upset though. I hate animal death!
The atmosphere of these books is still amazing. (hide spoiler)]

I don't even remember how exactly it started (I remember most of the scenes, but it was a while since I've read the series), great you're still loving the atmosphere. That's the aspect I enjoyed the most, perfect combo of folklore, darkness and cold that is almost palpable.
