Merry Christmas to you and Rania and your Partner. Peace and love. -James, Laurie & Bella
@@Littlebiglibrary thanks, James! I hope you and your family had a wonderful day!
Merry Christmas!! Super awesome the authors reached out to gift you those books! I love hearing about that specific book -- definitely new to me. Like I said, I might have to check out A Killing Cold once it comes out 🥰 Nooooo, your book 😭 The holidays make packages go missing from the load.
Merry Christmas to YOU! Yes, I received several gifts this past month or so! I appreciate it so much and it's always fun to discover something new. My book is supposed down at the mailbox in our common area, so when I walk Raina later, I'll pick it up. I'm on a little delay today because - 1.) It's Christmas 2.) It's only 20 degrees! Yikes! During the day, it will generally warm up to the 40's or above, but the mornings are FRIGID!
The people who want to ban books never actually read them. At least thats the answer I come up with when one of the reasons the hunger games is challenged is because its anti family
Very true! They know there may be pages in the book that have sexual content and that's good enough to get them the attention they need to ban it. I find it very interesting that many of the banned books are powerful stories written by female or LGBTQ+ authors who also happen to be black or brown.
@BeyondBooks-wt5il exactly. Like half the time it seems they aren't even trying to hide their reasons are racist or homophobic
Love this book. Still in my top ten. Liked the series but this is definitely the best of them
I was so impressed by this book! I really did not expect to like it as much as I did. It's such a tiny book to be so powerful!
@BeyondBooks-wt5il agreed. I was so mad about the movie. It could've been so well done and they were just cashing in on a trend
Happiest Christmas and safe travels. Nice wrap up. I do love cozy mysteries, so I want to check out David Rosenfelt’s puppy-themed mysteries. They look like fun. Raina looks pretty ready for Santa!❤️
Happy Christmas to you and yours! Yes, Raina is a true believer! She is always ready for Santa Paws!
Nice wrap up for December...wait a minute no Buc yes? Happy holidays and safe travels.
At least, not that I know of....they are building new ones all the time! I believe we acquired one here in Virginia in 2024 with another set to be built in 2025 - but I'm not sure where they are. Buc-cee's been a "busy beaver"! LOL!
Merry Christmas to you too. I hope you and yours have a joyous holiday
@@stuartgriffin1001 thanks, Stuart
What a delightful bag of mixed sweets. Thanks for another stimulating & fun video.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il: definitely.
Merry Christmas! How bad is the romance in Five Decembers?
Not graphic, not sappy ....appropriate? Yeah, appropriate for a story about a young person.
@ okay great! Thank you.
Merry Christmas!
@@Silversparkles thanks! You, too!
Merry Christmas to you and Donna and of course Raina.
@@brigittewelch-d2w thank you! You, too!
No address found 😂 haha ok… the numbers are usually in sequence on the street no? Anyways… 😂 I hope you and Donna and Raina all have a lovely Christmas and final week of 2024! Love that sweater on you btw 😊 Merry Christmas! 🎄
@ellenmadebookclub I thought that too, Ellen! There's a house there, in the right place in the sequence but no number...? Not much effort made 🙃
@ellenmadebookclub yeah - I agree! No cookies for THAT delivery person!
@@ellenmadebookclub Merry Christmas!
@ 😂
@ Haha right?! Less than minimum effort! Maybe they just had something major going on in their life, that’s what I usually think to help me forgive people ^^ If someone’s driving incredibly slow in front of me, I think maybe they are driving home with their newborn or something 😄
Great wrap-up, Reney! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and safe travels as well. Thanks for your friendship this year! You are a treasure!
@@BookChatWithPat8668 thank you! And back at you!
Merry Christmas to you all. I hope you enjoy it.
@@helenclare3250 thank you! Merry Christmas!
Beautiful story ❤
Yea! Free books to review! You have arrived as a booktuber 🙂. Have a fun, safe trip!!
@@bjminton2698 ha! Ha! Merry Christmas!
I think I'm going to make a note of Five Decembers for next year's seasonal reading. Merry Christmas to you all!
@KellyLovesBooksandMovies I liked it! Kind of different...
Congratulations on the new chair and awesome it was sent for a review - enjoy. Raina so funny and attentive as you chat.
Yeah! I nice surprise and Christmas gift!
Oh how lovely and how nostalgic. What a beautiful edition that is. Happy Christmas to you and yours Reney and especially to Raina 😊
Same to you! Have a wonderful holiday!
Lovely, Reney! Thank you!
Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas
Ah, thanks for sharing this, what a joy!
I enjoyed this. Happy Holidays!
@@JessBookgirlTV you, too! Thanks for watching
Wow look who is big time...getting free stuff to review. Hilarious how small your old chair is. 😂 I hope you don't forget about us little guys now that you are big-time. Looks like a nice chair!
Well, the world does look different from the "big" chair, but I'll try not to let it change me!
That looks like a great chair. The seat cushion looks very comfortable-but, oh how I hate assembly!🙃 Hey, Raina!!🐶🐶
No kidding! That's why I added the tips at the end.
Chairs are important. Especially for sitting down and filming/editing videos. A good chair will keep you from getting tired and stiff after long periods.
They sure are! I hadn't thought much about it because I didn't think I was sitting in the chair that much! WRONG-O!
Enough with the chair Mom, give me a treat.😊
Looks like a comfy office chair.
This chair review was perfect timing. I'm in need of a desk chair with better break support. Thank you!
Give smooches to Reyna for me.
Sure will!
Very nice tour. Thanks for taking and posting this video
Loved seeing the wreaths and decorations in Williamsburg. I have gone twice but never near Christmas. ❤
Awww I LOVE Colonial Williamsburg ❤ One of the few things I dearly miss after I left VA 😅
It is so fun to go there and just walk on the streets in the early morning when it's quiet. I also love walking on the W&M Campus - now that school is out, the next 2 -3 weeks will be lovely for walking there!
Beautiful video, Reney! I've been to Colonial Williamsburg in the summer, but never at Christmas. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! It's nice at Christmas - fireworks at night at the Capitol and the palace, lots of outdoor Christmas markets and an outdoor skating rink!
What a gorgeous book!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching and commenting! Merry Christmas!
Hi, Reney - nice to "meet" you! I love Steinbeck but I haven't read the two shorter ones you have there yet. SO many books waiting on my shelves to be read!! Haven't heard of Walking Home, but I like books about wilderness. My husband and I both enjoy Grisham, too :) I'm sure I read The Exchange WAY back in the day! The Stand is outstanding, though some people find that uncut version too long (that's the same one we have). You might try the shorter (relatively speaking!) edited version. I don't read a whole lot of romance either. I like road trip novels, too! Ooh, I've been meaning to read The Nickel Boys are ages - I've heard it's difficult but worth it. This was a fun tag. It sounds like we have similar reading tastes!
@SueJacksonDE Awesome! Nice to "meet" you, too. Yeah, it does sound like we might share some interests as far as books are concerned. Happy Holidays!
This is really beautiful, Reney! Thank you!
Thanks for doing this tag and mentioning me. You have a wonderful Christmas tradition. I love The Grinch. I recently watched the original animated version and the 2018 animated movie version. The Charlie Brown Christmas special is my favorite.
@@stuartgriffin1001 The classics are the best!
9:08 Ah yes! If I remember correctly the skull is more of a symbol of “memento mori” or remember you must die. Thank you for the tour. Pretty little town.
yes! the times of "scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases' long, long ago...." It is very picturesque!
What s nice video. Thank you for uploading this. I really enjoyed it. Take care -James & Bella
Thanks so much, James & Bella! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the festive hat, and the drinks 🤩 I love love love what you're doing to donate the toy for the under privileged kids! I was one of them when I grew up; we didn't have much, and we didn't really celebrate Christmas because my family really couldn't -- the foundations like toys for tots that's supported by people like you really made my years as a child 💕 The toy would be the toy I sleep with, play with for years. Not sure if you've ever heard an impact of such but I wanted to share my experience with you. So long winded way of saying THANK YOU! It's people like yourself who gave joy to a little girl/boy for the holidays
WOW! Thank you for saying that. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
John Grisham is one of my favorite authors as well! Really hard to stay away from sweets and other comfort foods when it’s winter. Fun tag video, thank you for the tag. Merry Christmas!
The better the book, the more I want to snack! (And I've read some good ones lately!) Perfect!
Merry Christmas!
A lovely festive tag and answers, and thanks for tagging me, 🤞I will get a chance to do it before christmas!
@vens_corner that's great! There were some fun Christmas one's this year!
Thanks for taking part in the tag! Great to see people taking part. Some great choices and many I have not read which fantastic. Best wishes for 2025 and happy reading!
That's some eggnog recipe!
LOL! Yeah, I got a kick out of that! No courage to try it, tho....
I used to love Black Friday shopping, but it seems like it's gotten kind of boring in the last few years. I loved getting the paper on Thanksgiving Day and going through all the ads and planning out where I wanted to go. Now there aren't any ads in the paper anymore, and stores don't seem to have the fun sales on that day like they used to. I suppose this way people aren't getting trampled to death for a TV anymore, so it's probably for the best.
@@KellyLovesBooksandMovies I agree! I used to be waaaay better - back in the day! I buy most things online, not as much fun!
Love your tradition of present giving - I do something similar. I get as much joy from giving as I get from the presents I receive myself. Fun tag.
Love that!
Happy Holidays!
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il Merry Christmas!
Love your responses, Reney, and the books that you featured. I think I told you that I had given the dachshund book by Rosenfelt to a dear friend last year. Just this week, she reached out to me and reminded me of how much she loved that book. (I know it's high up on Raina's list too.) You're right: I would not have figured that you do shopping on Black Friday. What fun! Merry Christmas, my friend!
There's something special about gifting a book to someone and having them LOVE it! It's so invigorating - giving at it's BEST! I gifted books to 3 people this year. Good feedback, so far! Black Friday shopping became a tradition with my daughter when she was little. I've hardly missed a year now in about 25 years! It's not like it used to be, but that's ok - still fun even if I only go to 1 or 2 stores. Merry Christmas to you, too.
@ I agree! Giving books that are appreciated or loved is the best! 🥰
Hi Reney! I believe you tried to tag me in this fun tag? I see a similar handler to mine, I still have issues getting tagged unfortunately. I know my channel doesn't come up in the options to highlight...
Wow! That's crazy! You Tube has been really wonky lately. Maybe someone there has been getting into the Chardonnay? LOL!
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il That would be me in need of some Chardonnay! It's been so stressful with this tag problem 😅
You're right! I just tried again and it did not come up. Well, consider yourself tagged i you want to do it - it's a fun and easy one! And speaking of Christmas tags, I have found at least 25 versions of ours. I have them all listed in my description box for the OTHER Christmas Tag I did, "Christmas Tree Minor Crisis Tag". It's incredible!
@@BeyondBooks-wt5il That's wonderful to hear! I'll check the list out again as I am sharing all the video urls in the Community posts. I'll send this tag out on the 24th.. Pat was trying to tag me too 😉 I keep trying through my Italian channel but I can't even see myself 😂🍷
@Uncommon_Reader That is frustrating! Hope they work it out soon!
First, I love that hat! ❤️. I live in wine country, so seems like your Christmas drink is the perfect drink! Fun video!
@vickicoleman2474 well, there you have it!
I don’t drink much coffee but when I do, I have it with a spoonful of cocoa and half and half. I call it Chaffee. My all-time favorite Christmas book that I now read with my grandkids and kids is The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson. I believe it’s also a movie but I’ve never watched it. The book is too delicious! BTW: your Christmas hat looks adorable on you. Happy holidays!
@susan3037 well, next time you drink it, you will think of me! And thank you! I was thinking Raina needs a hat!
