I've got quite a collection for you today! It's actually Quick Lit from November and December, because the internet kept eating my November post. (I should've saved more often.) But I'm finally getting it together.

So let's dive in!

Big Stone Gap is the first of the four books in the Big Stone Gap series, and probably my favorite of them. Just a quick, fun read. And bonus: apparently there's a movie now? I haven't seen it, but it's got Ashley Judd in it. $11.99 for Kindle

Big Cherry Holler is the second in the series, and I didn't care for it. I was frustrated by the main conflict (marital issues), but I powered through so I could keep going in the series. $11.99 for Kindle

Milk Glass Moon is the third book, and might have been my favorite. Things have calmed down a bit for the family, and I enjoyed this one the most. $11.99 for Kindle

Home to Big Stone Gap is the final installment of the Big Stone Gap series. It was a good way to end it, and I don't feel the need to read any more, should any more be released. Let's end on a good note, shall we? $11.99 for Kindle

Rococo was probably my least favorite Trigiani book of all. It wasn't bad, but I didn't particularly enjoy it either. Unless you are a big Trigiani fan, I'd skip it. $11.99 for Kindle

Beneath the Bonfire is a collection of short stories, which is something I don't read too often. It was a nice change of pace, and I really enjoyed it. A couple of the stories have really stuck with me since I finished it, which is always the mark of a good read for me. $10.99 for Kindle

We are Called to Rise was a really good read for several reasons. I enjoyed how well the author weaved the stories together, and I loved how CASA was depicted in the story. It was pretty heartbreaking, covering some touchy subjects like immigration, the foster system, homelessness, PTSD in veterans, and police shootings. Worth a read. $7.99 for Kindle

I hated Those Girls. It was graphic, gruesome, and I only finished it because I wanted to see what happened. I read the first half, and skimmed the rest. Don't waste your time, unless you're ok with horrible descriptions of rape and violence. $12.99 for Kindle

It's only been a few weeks since I read Beautiful Ruins, but the contents are already blurry. Clearly it didn't stick with me! I did enjoy it while reading it though, it seems like a good airplane or beach read. Plus it's on sale! $3.99 for Kindle

I love Kate Morton and all her books, but the Lake House might be my all-time favorite of hers. It seemed a little more mystery than the others (or maybe it's been too long since I read a Kate Morton book), but it kept me wondering and intrigued the whole time. It's a new one, so the wait might be long at the library. If you can't wait, don't! Just buy it. $12.99 for Kindle

And I finally finished the last Tana French book, The Secret Place. Not my favorite French novel, but it was intriguing and kept me guessing for awhile. $12.99 for Kindle

Of course, I'm also listening to the Harry Potter audiobooks again because they are finally available on Audible! In fact, they are the only reason I re-activated my Audible subscription. They really are that good.

So...what have you been reading?
