Holiday Desserts & Currently Reading

When I saw Chase @thebookend.diner with this cute new hashtag I knew I had to join on instagram!

My holiday recipe feature is my delicious pistachio cookies!
They taste great and what’s more festive than green cookies?!

When I took this shot I was reading Anxious People for book club (about half way through now), and Forever Wild… turns out I finished Forever Wild in 3 hours soooo you get a double feature including a mini review:

Forever Wild

Now, it’s Jonah’s fearless confidence that makes my blood race. His unwavering loyalty that makes me search for him in every room. His untamed passion that makes me weak at the knees. It’s everything—inside and out, good and bad—that makes up this wild man’s heart.” 

Never in my life have I been so excited for a novella… and I wanted more. We return to our small Alaskan town with some of our favorite characters, and Calla and Jonah.
This is the perfect holiday “warm and fuzzy” book you didn’t know you needed. 
It felt like I was looking out of a beautiful cabin home at my frozen lake at Christmas time… waiting for Jonah’s plane to land once more.

Thank you KA Tucker for giving us a little glimpse into the HEA of Jonah and Calla… and honestly I wish there was more. more wedding details, more future plans… honestly I could read about them argue about paint color and be 100% happy.

My only regret is I can’t read this whole series again for the first time 😭.

To my girls who love Jonah, he’s back and he’s still the Yeti❤️.

“When I hear the buzz of a plane overhead, I like to think it’s Wren Fletcher, doing what he loves most, flying high over the mountains, over the land he loved so deeply. He just doesn’t need to land anymore.”
