It has been a fun year of book reviews at Brewing Coffee, Twisting Words & Breaking Pencils theme—book themes related to coffee, books, and puzzles like this blog.
Books that didn’t get read or reviewed:
- The Writing Retreat
- The Puzzle House
If you love books and sharing reviews, please connect with me on Goodreads: connect.
If we were having coffee, I would share that I am planning to share reviews again next year as well. It might play out a bit differently, but we will see when we meet in January.
If we were having coffee, I would share a picture of the 2000-piece puzzle I finished on Christmas Day. It’s a Ravensburger Night & Day puzzle called “Mountain Retreat.”
Christmas Day was wonderful. We went for a walk, played board games, ate lots of treats, and enjoyed family time. My family gifted me a new tarot deck. It’s vintage-looking and called “Mystical Medleys.” How was your December 25? If we were having coffee, I would wish you happy holidays until we meet again in 2026.

Your Christmas looks amazing! I would love to live in the mountain retreat puzzle, what a lovely place that would be 🙂
I am no longer on Goodreads, due to the fact that more than half of the books I read aren’t on Goodreads, otherwise I would have connected with you there. Looking forward to reading your reviews here on the blog.

Congrats and Hapy New year. How can I request for my book to be placed on your review list. Are you into dark fantasy/dark horror? I would be happy to send you a physical copy if you live in the states, or epub if you prefer.
