My Review
This was a cute little book. It's basically a compilation of twenty treats for the holiday season. Some of the most tempting, at least to me, were the Fall Truffles (basically truffles with pumpkin filing - yum!), Chocolate Peppermint Twist Cupcakes (these simply look divine), Pumpkin Cupcakes with Biscoff Buttercream, Dulce de Leche Filled Pumpkin Cupcakes, and Red Velvet Crepes (these crepes are filled with cream cheese mousse with raspberry sauce). There were also some easy fudge recipes and I definitely crave fudge during the holidays. The ingredients and instructions are simple, and include accompanying pictures (except for a few that do not). Christmas Desserts would be a perfect gift, for some quick ideas for treat plates, or for desserts to make for the holidays.

The Nighthouse sounds and looks so creepy indeed. It sounds like such a good read. Your other books look interesting. You have had a very busy week indeed.

I'm taking part in Blog Ahead as well, and I know how you're feeling! The first week went so well, but this week... erm, not so much :( Right now, I'll be happy if I can get whatever posts I can manage to complete scheduled in advance! Enjoy all your new books, and have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteSo many great books this week! The Matchmaker and Becoming Beauty sound really fun and The Nighthouse looks seriously creepy. Good luck with Blog Ahead! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThose desserts sound so good!! <3
ReplyDeleteI think it might be fun.
ReplyDeleteI may need that braiding book because I suck at braids. I can do the basic braid but when you throw french, fish and whatever else kinda braids there is out there, into the mix... I'm a hot mess.

Thanks! This week is a little less busy, so hopefully I can get some other stuff in. :)
ReplyDeleteCoral & Bone has been on my tbr for a while, so I was happy to see it come up on NG. Hopefully it'll be good.
ReplyDeleteI read an excerpt and it was creepy. I don't normally do horror, but this story sounds intriguing and so I'm hoping I'll really like it.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of where I am too. If I get 20, I'll be stoked!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteI've always struggled with some of them. I totally get the fish braid now and I'm so happy about that! :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you ♥
ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh! THANK YOU for telling me about the possibility of more stories in this world. That does make me feel better!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to some of your awesome (as usual) reviews this week, Tressa. Looks like you have some good ones coming. :) PS; I CANNOT wait to read 'How to Catch a Prince' either. Eep... it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow so many pretty covers! A couple of those are on my tbr pile. And for Blog Ahead. You're doing great! Slow's not a bad thing :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to help. :)
ReplyDeleteI won a physical ARC of How to Catch a Prince and I'm dying to read it! I'll let you know... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by again! I'm planning on getting the last five of my posts finished today and then work on additional posts. Hopefully I'll get there.
