I just wanted to say: Happiest of happy holidays to you my awesome readers!
Wherever you are in life…
…whatever you’re going through…
…whatever has happened in the past to shape this time of year for you…
I hope you know you’re not alone.
This season can be difficult—finding the joy, feeling the cheer, remembering the good. But I so hope you do find it, feel it, and remember.
May peace and love surround you.
May your Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year, be filled with good health, good people/pets, good times, good food, and of course, amazing books!!!
From my books to yours, Merry Christmas, and happy holidays!
This time last year I could still hold all the books I’d published in one hand. I tried that this year, failed, broke an ornament, cleaned up the mess, then moved everything to the mantle lol. At least the picture turned out nice.
May your days be merry & bright. May you spend time with the ones you love (hug them, tell them how much you love them, and know how blessed you are to have that). And may the odds be ever in your favor <3.
Merry Christmas and happiest of happy holidays to you!
That’s me in my most bookish mask lol :). I could only put three of my books on there, and I can’t wear it out because of the little gaps in the sides and chin. But whatever! I love it! ADORKABLE, NINJA GIRL, and The Good Girl’s Guide to Being Bad look awesome in mask form!
I’ve been doing a lot of writing/editing/formatting, yay!!! Earlier this week, I completed and sent in the WIP I was working on for Entangled, and today, I’ve been formatting what will be my next release! Eep! So many exciting things going on :).
Just wanted to do a quick post since 2020 is coming to an end. Hopefully, there will be better times ahead for everyone–especially you awesome bookish peeps! I hope you had a merry Christmas, are having happy holidays, and that this new year is awesome for you!
Stay safe and be well!
Happy reading,
Cookie O’Gorman
P.S. I’ll probably do another post later, but Bridgerton was AMAZING!!! I’d already loved the books. I now love the show. Besides our dogs and maybe a Taylor Swift song, it is the best thing to come out of 2020 imo :). Thank you, Julia Quinn and Shonda Rhimes!
This was my attempt at a book tree, and I think it turned out pretty…ADORKABLE <3 ;).
May you have the best times with family & friends, and may ALL the books be under your tree! I truly hope today (and every day) is wonderful for you! <3 <3 <3

Also, I will be doing an Author Takeover on The Bookworm Box Facebook page Saturday, Dec. 15, 2018 at 7:00pm CST! No, I’m not nervous at all LOL. Why do you ask? But seriously, I’m super nervous…and excited–and I’m trying to focus on that ha! More on this later!
Also, also, I just got back from a trip to Ireland (aka the most beautiful place in the world) <3. Managed to write a bit on the plane–a first for me–which wasn’t easy because the guy in front of me had his seat reclined, so I couldn’t fully open my laptop :/. But Ireland was so beautiful, you guys! I really love it there and recommend going to anyone/everyone.
The holidays are right around the corner…and this definitely calls for a giveaway :).
Please help me celebrate all of the awesome, and enter using the rafflecopter below! There are so many ways to win! Here are the prizes: a $20 Amazon Gift Card, ADORKABLE bookmarks and stickers, and a Young Adult Bookworm Box generously provided by The Bookworm Box! 😀
The Happy Holidays Giveaway will run from Dec. 4 until Dec. 17, 2018, and there will be several winners! Good luck, happy holidays, and I hope you’re having a great week so far!
My day was spent with the people I love, and it was wonderful to finally give them their presents. Although I’m not the biggest fan of shopping (understatement of the century–and bookstores don’t count. I could stay in the bookstore forever), I absolutely LOVE giving.
It rocks. It makes them feel good, makes you feel good. Speaking of which…
We have a winner! The winner of the NINJA GIRL Christmas Giveaway is:
Janet!!!
Congratulations, Janet! Your $25 Amazon gift card is on its way, and I hope you love it! Thank you so much to everyone who entered the giveaway and who has supported both NINJA GIRL and ADORKABLE. I appreciate your support so very much. I’ll have to do another giveaway soon because it feels so awesome to give :).
May the odds be ever in your favor, may the Force be with you, and may your holiday be filled with awesome!
It’s two days before Christmas. I’m finally done shopping–thank goodness!–and now I can slow down and just rest for a bit :).
One of my good friends (one of my only friends lol. Thanks, Nina!) got me the little mystery box pictured below.
I’ve gotta admit: I was way too excited about what was in there. Harry Potter lovers, you feel me on this, right? It could be anything. A thestral, dragon, pixie, owl, a Neville or *gasp* a Snape <3. The mystery is the best part, so if you know any HP fans, I would definitely recommend!
So, what you ask was in the box???
A mini Harry Potter!!!!! Awww, isn’t he just the cutest? He is totally adorkable with his sorting hat and glasses <3.
Mini Mr. Potter definitely brightened my day, and I just wanted to say: Happy Holidays to all of you! And if you’re someone who struggles through this time of year, I hope you know that you are not alone. It can be hard, and I’m right there with you. But I hope you find a bit of magic this holiday season, something to make it wonderful. Merry Christmas, my lovely readers, I wish you only the best books and all of the best times with those you love!
