Also trying out an advent calendar book! I missed yesterday so doubled up today but I truly want to force myself to stick to one a day every day to have the intended effect!
Its a cozy little YA romance so cute and fluffy, perfect for Christmas

Late to the punch but we are giving the cheese advent calendar from Aldi another try! (We had it YEARS ago but the cheeses were always boring and basic)
This year they seem to have more variety so I am hype! I also wish I had gotten the chocolate and wine as they pair, so next year!
