Please stop by my house and pick up your suit. If you thought I was going to run it to the dry cleaners for you after you left it on my bedroom floor, you’ve got another think coming.
Best, Noel Winter
Review: I loved the last of this series it was really cute .Noel’s coworker hired her brother to be Santa. An older lady at her work is trying to hook Noel with her grandson . So santa shows up and hits on Noel after they go for hot chocolate and then they hook up and she runs out of her own house oh god . Her coworker tells her she’s sorry that her brother ditched on the Santa event and Noel is confused but it turns out the guy Noel slept with and liked was the womans grandson and his name is Theodore but lets Noel call him teddy and they decide to start dating . A year later ginger is married and pregnant Holly is engaged and Noel is wondering when Teddy is going to so she asks him and he proposes it was adorable. Quotes : It’s also clear why Jillian sent the Santa padding along with the costume because her brother does not have the body to play Santa. Unless it was a male stripper version of Santa—
I ask Teddy if I can see his North Pole
Perhaps I could hire him to be my sex elf, then he’d have a job and I’d have a sex elf.

Review: Really enjoyed the first volume I watched the anime a few years ago and it’s one of my favorite series . This is about Haruhi a scholarship student who stumbles upon a host club but by accident breaks a vase and in there debt to be the host clubs errand boy. Tamaki agrees to half Haruhi debt if she gets 100 customers so Haruhi is a host now . There is this girl who is a customer who doesn’t like Haruhi she throws her bag in the pond. She asks to meet with Haruhi and Haruhi tells her she sounds jealous and then the girl makes up some story about Haruhi and then the girl gets banned . Tamaki sees Haruhi ID and finally sees she’s a girl even though the other members already knew. Its Christmas time for the host club they are hosting a Christmas party and there is this girl Kanako who host hops from the guys and there is this guy Toru who doesn’t feel suitable for Kanako even though Kanako likes him so the host club ends up getting them together but the winner of the kiss was Haruhi and she ends up kissing Kanako on the lips cause tamaki caused trouble.

A side story is about Hunny he is taking a nap and tamaki and the twins get his bunny Bun Bun dirty.
I will not fall for him, no matter how charming or irresistible or famous he is. I will not be swayed by his skills in the kitchen or by his British accent. I’m going to win the Great Gingerbread Bake Off and no one is going to stand in my way. Not even Keller.
All kisses are off. I mean all bets. All bets are off. And his clothes, those are off too.
Grr, never mind. I’ll figure this out myself.
XOXO, Ginger Winter

Quotes:
Sweet Pillsbury Doughboy, this is my idea of porn. Keller James sitting before me, praising my baking. If my bakery plan falls apart I know what my next venture will be. Bakery porn. It’ll be nothing but attractive men eating my cookies. The camera will zoom in as their tongues flicker over their lips, sweeping up every last morsel. They’ll probably be shirtless too. I bet I can get subscribers to pay at least four ninety-nine a month for such a service.
I might have zoned out a little with my bakery porn scheme. Fine, I might also have been imagining him shirtless
I wasn’t flirting. You were flirting.” There. That’ll show him. That I’m twelve. Way to spar, Ginger. “Oh, I was definitely flirting,”
Oh, for elf’s sake. Did I really just say “single and ready to mingle?”
I’m having a lovely time. Thank you for inviting me, Ginger.” “I didn’t invite you,” I remind him. “You invited yourself.” “Oh, Gingersnap, you little flirt
Just because my dreams are smaller in nature doesn’t make them any less important or valid.
I’m fairly certain that the only thing I’d enjoy more than bantering with you is kissing you.”
Please bring me a new boss for Christmas. Mine is the worst. The worst, hidden in a six foot tall package of male perfection. It’d be easier if he looked like an old Scrooge, wouldn’t it?
Nick Saint-Croix doesn’t look like an old scrooge. He’s hot as-
Um, never mind. Just bring me a new boss. Please.
Sincerely, Holly Winter

Quotes :I work at Flying Reindeer Toy Company. Which means my scrooge of a boss runs a toy company. Actual toys, not sex toys.
my name is Holly Winter. And I might as well just tell you now… I have two sisters named Ginger and Noel.
I get paid to work on projects involving cafés and teddy bears.
Kissing Nick is like finding out that Santa is coming twice this year.
Why did you do that? Why did you kiss me?
“Because I wanted to.” Not even a flinch. His voice is smooth
How long have you wanted to kiss me?” I ask, my voice barely audible. Wondering if this interest of his is going to disappear as fast as it’s appeared. “Since the first day.
It’s not a scowl when it’s directed at you. It’s pent-up sexual frustration,” he murmurs into my ear.
Did you just procure a condom from an Advent calendar?”
Miss Winter, did you buy me a dirty Advent calendar?”

Road trips required a couple of things: a well-balanced diet of caffeine, salt and sugar and an excellent selection of tunes—oh, and directions.”
“It was funny how none of her classes in library science has prepared her for this sort of thing, dead bodies, staff under suspicion, crazed reporters. Really, they needed to consider expanding the curriculum.

But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie’s entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister’s killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him.
When West McCray—a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America—overhears Sadie’s story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie’s journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it’s too late.
Courtney Summers has written the breakout book of her career. Sadie is propulsive and harrowing and will keep you riveted until the last page.
Trigger warning pedophilia sexual assault Review: This book was a really interesting read I highly recommend the audiobook it was really highly produced . So this book is told in two POV a podcast called the girls and Sadie’s point of view. Sadie’s younger sister maddie has been murdered and sadie knows who it was and wants to kill him . West the guy doing the podcast is trying to find out about sadie . Sadie finds out information about Keith who is really jack from a woman who dated him and left him cause of his interest. Sadie finds Marley brother silas but first she found his kids and a guy named Javi who she let herself for awhile like but then she stalks silas and finds some unsettling things and tells javi to call the police on him and he does get arrested thankfully. West is still finding out information about sadie and interviewing people she was using her middle name with people she was meeting . Sadie gets a motel room and finds this is a place Keith/jack stayed she has to get into that room so she does and she finds trofies from other girls hes abused with that she finds him and there was an altercation and I think we can guess what happened. West finds the last woman he was with Amanda and her daughter who was abused also jack is dead from an untreated stab wound probably from sadie . The ending yes it’s not satisfying but I think its realistic cause sometimes girls dont get found but I think we can guess jack killed sadie and he killed madie the DNA matched that so at least that was solved .
Quotes : And it begins, as so many stories do, with a dead girl
But love is complicated, it’s messy. It can inspire selflessness, selfishness, our greatest accomplishments and our hardest mistakes. It brings us together and it can just as easily drive us apart.
I wish this was a love story. A love story about lovers whose mouths meet like two puzzle pieces fitting perfectly into place, about the electric feeling of one person’s name on the other’s tongue because no one has ever spoken them out loud like that before. About people who spend the night together looking at the stars until entire constellations exist within them. Everyone is perfect in that indistinct way most characters are and every perfectly constructed scene in their fictional lives is somehow more real than anything you’ve known or lived. Love stories, romances, leave a person secure in the knowledge they’ll end Happily Ever After and who wouldn’t want a story like that? I wish this was a love story because I know how it goes in one like mine, where the only moments of reprieve are the spaces between its lines. But here’s the thing I tell myself to dull the sharp edges of everything that’s surely left to come: The worst has already happened.
And Sadie, if you’re out there, please let me know. Because I can’t take another dead girl.”

What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
The U.A. High sports festival is a chance for the budding heroes to show their stuff and find a superhero mentor. The students have already struggled through a grueling preliminary round, but now they have to team up to prove they’re capable of moving on to the next stage. The whole country is watching, and so are the shadowy forces that attacked the academy…
Review : Sports festival is still going on and to team up to be first izuku was in first he teams up with uraraka and Tokoyami and Hatsume to get the headband Ida teams up todoroki. Bakagou is with kirishima. Todoroki refuses to use his father’s fire side but during battle with izuku he ends up using it . Todoroki gets first . Todoroki chats with izuku and asks him if hes all might son and he knows hes keeping a secret. Onto the battles izuku is against Shinzo who has a mind control quirk and he almost wins but izuku hurts his finger to get his mind right again and izuku wins . Ida and Hatsume fight against each other she ends up tricking Ida but Ida wins the next up is uraraka and bakagou.
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
A sinister group of villains has attacked the first-year U.A. students, but their real target is All Might. It’s all that Midoriya and his classmates can do to hold them off until reinforcements arrive. All Might joins the battle to protect the kids, but as his power runs out he may be forced into an extremely dangerous bluff!
Review: All might shows up to end these villains but he is on his last straw and he doesn’t know how much he will last in his form he is. Izuku is one of the few who knows his secret so he goes to help along with other students until the hero’s show up but villains disappear. Next is the sports festival todoroki claims he will beat izuku in the sports festival. todoroki is also the son of endeavor the no 2 hero . Izuku wins the race yay .
October 30 November 1 What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks” at age four? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
Getting into U.A. High School was difficult enough, but it was only the beginning of Izuku’s long road toward becoming a superhero. The new students all have some amazing powers, and although Izuku has inherited All Might’s abilities, he can barely control them. Then the first-year students are told they will have to compete just to avoid being expelled!
Review: loved this volume its getting more interesting. So while all might is teaching the call of 1 A and where each group has to play Villan or hero . Bakagou and Izuku go head to to head . Bakagou thinks izuku lied to him about being quirkless . Class president elections are up and izuku wins but there was a break in at the school and IIda takes charge and Izuku tells the class IIda should be class president. Eraser head takes the class 1 a to get more practice in but the league of villains break in and they want to kill all might the class has to get help while eraser head tries to get rid of these villains all might shows up .
