Wonderfully festive!
4 steloj
Starlight At Moonglow is the seventh Christmas novella in Deborah Garner's Moonglow series and, as regular visitors to my Literary Flits book blog will know, catching up with Mist, Betty and everyone in Timberton has become one of my own treasured Christmas rituals. As someone who readly widely across practically all genres and usually tries to avoid the sense of repeating stories, I find it strange how strongly I am drawn to the Timberton's Hotel's familiar traditions. There's particular emotional pull that I love to anticipate - so much so that I put this year's installment on pre-order as soon as I spotted it!
There's an almost melancholy atmosphere to Timberton this year as a strong storm prevents anyone from getting outside much. Mist's thoughtfulness and culinary magic soon start to work their wonders though so I again found myself happily becoming a part of the celebrations. For a moment …

There's an almost melancholy atmosphere to Timberton this year as a strong storm prevents anyone from getting outside much. Mist's thoughtfulness and culinary magic soon start to work their wonders though so I again found myself happily becoming a part of the celebrations. For a moment I was so immersed in the story that it felt like Timberton could be real! Although I know that the closest I will get to a Montana Christmas is trying out a few of the tempting cookies recipes with which the story ends. I'm also intrigued by Mist's Mushroom and Cashew Wellington creation so I'm going to search out a recipe for that too. I suppose much of the Moonglow series' appeal for me is its foodie focus. Having devoured the novella in one glorious sitting today, I'm now feeling wonderfully festive!
