#FantasyIndiesDecember 3. Holiday or winter book recs
I'm drawing a huge blank on any specific holiday or winter books. I don't generally read books that revolve around that.
BUT... If my bestie published her book 1 in her series, it takes place around winter (hint hint😉)

Day 3: Plum, Pear & Star Anise
In the interest of NOT dying, I opted for a repeat of day two's jam on my toast. My mom will have to interject her thoughts about the pears when she visits this weekend.
