Image: Aidy Bryant with quote text: 40 is a big time in your life. I feel like a lot of people in their 40s are realizing that their whole life they’ve actually been bi. And maybe it’s less that you’re discovering bi-ness, and it’s more that you’ve realized you can kinda get horny from anything.

@firewhiskeyreader.bsky.social has a prompt in the winter challenge that is just “Glasses” and @kennedyryan.bsky.social delivers. #romancelandia
Image of book quote on pink background: “I think in the back of my mind, as soon as he said his boys weren’t home, I knew it would happen.” I pause to give my next statement the gravity it deserves. “He was wearing glasses when I got there.” They both gasp because we all know I have a spectacles kink. “And you immediately wondered,” Hendrix intones without a trace of humor, “How does one best sit on a man’s face when he’s wearing glasses?” “I did wonder that and not for the first time, yes.” I shrug helplessly. “They were black rimmed. I’m not made of stone.” Kennedy Ryan This Could Be Us

For the second-chance prompt, I did Snowed In delivery for Christmas by Jilli Waters, a short, sweet book about a mail carrier who gets assigned to her ex’s route right before Christmas, and Oh no! They get snowed in. Main characters in their 40s, KU, 64 pgs
Book cover for Snowed in Delivery for Christmas. Faceless cartoon people facing forward. She has on a hat and messenger bag to indicate she’s a mail carrier. He has cool guy spiky hair. A snowy scene with a cabin and pines behind them.

Big Nick Energy by Morgan Elizabeth asks, what if you meet a great younger guy, but it turns out that you’re just friends? *But then* you meet his dad…and immediately hate him for bringing up the fucking Elf to your kids. *But then again* he makes up for it by coming over every night to handle it.
Cartoon cover for Big Nick Energy, done in all red, green & white of a scene at a Christmas tree farm with a little red truck and a man carrying a whole tree on his shoulder.

I’m not even a quarter of the way into Let Your Hearts Be Light by Fae Quin, and I’m obsessed with these two. Baxter and Paxton’s respective teens have singed them ups to be Christmas buddies. Paxton is a grump who hates Baxter’s cheeriness, but quickly learns it’s a front and decides to help.
This cover! I’m not going to do it justice, but foreground is a salt & pepper beardy man dipping a blonde man whose cream sweater is riding up. They are both wrapped up in a string of Christmas lights. There are bees flitting around the title, Let Your Hearts be Light. In the snowy background, there is a gazebo with two teens sitting next to each other.

My Christmas Wedding pick is aptly titled The Wedding Night Before Christmas (or sometimes just The Wedding Night) by Kati Wilde. This is a marriage of convenience/revenge with a hot mechanic MMC and a high-powered, neurodivergent, real estate mogul FMC, and they just want to take care of each other
Book cover for Wedding Night Before Christmas. A contemporary blonde woman and dark-haired white man in and embrace with her leg up. White clothing on both. Title in red with Christmas holly.

For Just Like a Hallmark Movie, I went with The Mistletoe Bet by Maren Moore. She’s a Big City Girl who’s down on Christmas. He’s the hometown doctor ready to change her mind and win her heart in the process. Everything you could want from a Christmas tale, with some bonus after hours fun.
Book cover for The Mistletoe Bet by Maren Moore. Looks like a December calendar with various Christmas and winter items in the square of each date.

Book cover for Holly’s Unjolly Christmas by Lark Green. Cartoon couple in the foreground. He’s a big red demon with shaggy black hair and black horns, wearing an unbuttoned flannel and holding an axe. She’s a small blonde woman looking up at him in overalls and a hoody. Mountains in the background.

Post from @endcase.bsky.social of two large trim dogs in the snow wearing form fitting, full body sweaters and a smaller dog in the background. Reply from me that says “This is Todd and Margot from Christmas Vacation.”

I had to go back to Twitter 😬 to find @chel-c-cam.bsky.social’s Tweet about @rdotspoon.bsky.social’s books because I’ve referenced it so damn many times this year.
