Day 4 - Holiday Songs with Book Recs! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

Welcome to Jess' 25 Days of Christmas ~ Day 4
I over worked myself on Dec 4th (yesterday) as with how I wanted to put together this post and it being my weekly When & Where am I Wednesday on top of everything else I planned for today .... I over did it and in turn this post is a little late. Sorry! But I hope you'll enjoy all the parts I included in it!

I personally love listening to holiday music. My kids have asked occasionally throughout the year to listen to their Christmas Music cds before bed. But for the most part we start listening to Christmas music mostly starting around my birthday on November 10th. Typically I enjoy listening to my music on random "shuffle mode" like when I had a 5 disc cd player ... and that still happens now that I constantly use Pandora and its shuffle mode. So here are all the "radio stations" on Pandora that I "shuffle" through: Christmas Radio Country Christmas Radio Family Christmas Radio Holiday Music (Holiday) Radio Pop Goes Christmas (Holiday) Radio

4 The three weeks till Christmas won't seem very long if you make time each day for a holiday song.

Well I had soo many plans today ... but it is/was Cyber Monday so I did last minute online shopping, then I found out that an Christmas present order that had arrived was wrong so I had to fix it (it took them 2 hours), then I dealt with my kids and stuff for my clients that I do VA work for .... but what really through me off was finding out early this morning that my head cold has gotten worse. 😷 I'm coughing up "crud" and will definitely be going to see my doctor tomorrow since the sudafed I've been taking hasn't been working. 😝 Thankfully I don't have a fever. YAY! 👏

Anywho ... one major event was that ...

Day 1 - I finished a novel! ~ 25 Days of Christmas from @fromjesstoyouVA | #Bloggerstribe #Blogmas #BookBlogger

This year I am doing my own version of 25 Days of Christmas and we will be following my Santa and penguin countdown ornament calendar that I've had since 2007. I've always found this countdown adorable ... so I'm going to try my best at daily blog posts. 🤞 Hopefully I'll be on top of it for you. 😊 😉

The Books I'm Thankful For (so far) in 2019

It is Thanksgiving Day (the USA version of it at least) today! The tradition on my blog is to post a list of ALL the books I've read thus far this year that I've given my highest ratings to (5 out of 5 stars) today, which means I'm VERY Thankful for finding/reading them! Be forewarned though ... like the past two years' lists ALL of the novels listed below do not have their official book reviews from me posted and promoted yet because life has been very busy. 🙂 But as I post more of my book reviews this list will be updated so stay tuned!

➡️ So what are you getting out of this blog post you say? Well ... you are getting a glimpse of what my 5 star reads have been in 2019 thus far (as even though their book reviews haven't been posted the first drafts of their reviews HAVE been written), some of my book reviews of these novels/novellas (if the FULL book reviews have officially been posted than they'll be linked), links for you to check out these novels/novellas for yourself on Amazon, AND for the SECOND year running I have a We Are Thankful For Books collab video (at the bottom of this post) for you. In the video you'll see 9 Booktubers (including myself) talk about the books they are thankful for reading this year. Enjoy! 📚🥧
