Movie and TV adaptations are different from the books. Comparing A Christmas Exchange with Molly Cooper's Dream Date by Barbara Hannay

Fair warning, this post is going to very spoilery if you either haven't watched the movie, A Christmas Exchange or read the book, Molly Cooper's Dream Date by Barbara Hannay. If you don't want any spoilers because you are planning on doing either or both, click off now. I have other stuff you can read that are fun too.

What Helen Read #55: December 2020

Wow! Almost the end of January already. This year is going to fly by. My apologies that this post is a little late. Things got a little busy and we had a last minute trip into the city for some errands and lunch with my parents so where I would spent the day yesterday working on this post, I didn't have time. Better late than never.

Here's what Helen read for the last month.

Stolen Kiss With Her Billionaire Boss

Christmas Among The Gum Trees

The King's Bride By Arrangement

The Cartographer's Secret (Amazon AU)

I'm not reading quarantine or lockdown romance, here's why

So it's been many months since the whole pandemic thing started, and we started seeing a rush of lockdown and quarantine romances in the early days of lockdown. I wrote an early article about it and wondered if the whole thing was on-trend or tacky. Since then, if you do a search on Amazon for "quarantine romance," you get over a thousand hits, and with "lockdown romance," you get 500+ hits. Have I read any? No.

What Deanna Read #59: December 2020

Can you believe it? January is already more than halfway over. Where did that go? Well, for us, we managed a whole fourteen days without leaving the house and staying isolated between December 31st and January 14th. That was until we ran out of fresh fruit and veggies and needed to do a grocery store run. It was very peopley out there and the store was a zoo. I was exhausted when I got home.

On the reading front, December was a slower month for me. I had already exceeded my reading challenge goal by streets so I took it easy. That said, I think I still managed to read a fair bit.

That's it from me. I hope everyone is well. My thoughts are with you all. Stay safe.

Here's what I read for the month.

Wrapped Up In Her

Burly

Molly Cooper's Dream Date

Three Times Moor Pleasure

Books I have not finished 2020 #5 (Yeah, the 2020 is not a mistake. This is a carry over from last year)

How are you all doing this new year? It's a few weeks into it now, are you getting back in the swing of things? I think I've enjoyed my time off too much because I am struggling to get back into work and stuff. I'm feeling decidedly lazy and I want to do is watch movies and read books. There are worst things to be doing, right?

I'm still working through books I did not finish in 2020. There were more than I expected and I broke them up into smaller chunks so that I would not bore you with a lot of it. It's been a while since I've even looked at these books, so some of them were even a surprise for me as I was putting this together.

So without much further ado, here's some books I have not finished recently.

2020 Recap: Deanna's Top 10 reads

Hello and Happy New Year!!

Well, 2020 was a crazy year, wasn't it? It was filled with difficulties and challenges but also a lot of hope. I know a lot of people struggled and I hope that for those of you who read, you found solace in your books. For me, I read a lot. More than I've ever read in previous years. It's quite an accomplishment but then again, there was nowhere to go, so lots of reading.

Wishing you hope and joy. Happy 2021

Happy New Year!!!

2020 has been a challenging year and I'm sure many are happy to put it behind us.

Here's wishing you the best for 2021. May it be filled with hope and joy. Stay safe if you're celebrating and be well.

xoxo, Deanna
