Cozy Christmas night in

Hello there!

It feels that time goes by so quickly that I haven't even realized that we only have 5 days left until Christmas! I think that being in lockdown makes you lose track of time, at least for me! Pls let me know if anyone else has the same problem, because I feel like time goes super quickly and super slow at the same time, for some reason.

Tonight my plans include mince pies, mulled wine and one of my favourite books of 2020, "The Magpie Society". It's the brand new series from Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch. 

The plot, as in Goodreads is: "Illumen Hall is an elite boarding school. Tragedy strikes when the body of a student is discovered at their exclusive summer party - on her back is an elaborate tattoo of a magpie. When new girl Audrey arrives the following term, running from her own secrets back home in America, she is thrown into solving the case. Despite her best efforts to avoid any drama, her new roommate Ivy was close to the murdered girl, and the two of them can't help but get pulled in. The two can't stand each other, but as they are drawn deeper into the mystery of this strange and terrible murder, they will discover that something dangerous is at the heart of their superficially perfect school. Welcome to The Magpie Society. One for Sorrow will be told via the alternating first-person perspectives of the lead characters Audrey - written by Amy - and Ivy - written by Zoe - with the narrative being jointly plotted by both authors.".

I started reading it a couple of days ago, and now I'm almost finished, and let me tell you: that NEVER happens. Normally I prefer to take my time with books (mostly because I don't want them to finish) and it takes me weeks to finish a 300-page book. Well, that's not the case with this one. It's written in such a captivating way that I find it hard to put it down and I love the atmosphere that is sombre and cosy in a way!

Not the most festive read, but if you're looking for your next read, give it a look!
