You're welcome to look through my 2022 shelf (/review/list...) - there's not much there yet but you might find something. If you check out the 2021 shelf, you'll wade through a lot to find December. Also the group's Bookshelf (/group/books...) will have some there as well Kylie :) Good luck! Oh, you can always check other's posts in here to see if you're interested in any that have been listed :)
