BB #10: Hurricanes, Full Moon, Christmas Movies + Reading Update
It's been one heck of a week over here. Just when we thought we could catch our breath after Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton swung by, leaving a trail of chaos in its wake. Between cleaning up the new mess and still dealing with the aftermath of the last storm, it's safe to say stress levels have been through the roof. Thanks for bearing with me as updates have been slower than usual. The good news? We should be back on track with content hopefully by next week (or so).
Here’s what we’ve got brewing in this edition of your Bookish Brunch:
Full Moon Vibes: Did the full moon have you feeling extra edgy this week? You’re not alone. I’ve got some tips on how to stay grounded during these energetically intense times.
2024 Holiday Reading Guide: For our paid members, the holiday cheer is early this year with a guide to 104 holiday romance books set to release in 2024.
Sneak Peek at Romanceopoly 2025: I’m giving you an exclusive look at my initial sketches for next year’s Romanceopoly board. It’s not the finished product, but I hope you'll love the preview! And you can listen to this week’s Extra Bite episode where I also chat about what you can expect next year in our yearly reading challenge.
Reading Update: Despite the chaos, I managed some reading time. I’m excited to share about one of my favorite heroes of the year—stay tuned for who captured my heart!
Thanks for sticking with me through the storms and the full moons. Your support means the world, and I can’t wait to dive back into our regular bookish programming.

What’s New This Week
Let’s start off with the biggest news for bookworms of … the year? Amazon revealed the new line of Kindles and top of mind is the new Kindle ink with color! The Kobo color has been making waves this past year and Amazon had to respond. While their new color Kindle doesn’t have the writing capability of the Kobo, it does give you access to Kindle Unlimited, and really you can’t beat that! What do you think about it? Plan on getting it? Think it’s too pricey for the color feature?
And there’s already a recap of the new Kindles, if you want to see some of the others and the different features:
And it’s time to start all the festive times! This weekend is the start of Hallmark Christmas movie watching season, so I have my plans set and I’ll try to report back with my thoughts on the movies I watch in the next newsletter.
On the blog:
