MEET MARKIE | Markie is a yoga teacher, astrologer, and entrepreneur leading wellness retreats worldwide. What started as a casual yoga practice in a tiny NYC apartment led to a decade of self-discovery and growth. Her journey through grief reshaped her focus, inspiring her to live unapologetically and embrace the importance of mental and physical health--a mission she shares with warmth and wisdom. Through her work, she weaves community, mindful movement, and cosmic insight via birth chart and oracle card readings, to empower others to nurture body, mind, and soul. When not guiding others, Markie loves to travel, curl up with a good book, or hunt for the best mint chocolate chip ice cream around town.
Join us for a cozy, virtual Secret Santa gift exchange!

THE MISSION
Hi everyone! I'm so happy you're here! This is our third year running BB&B's Cradles to Crayons® Winter Essentials Drive—and every single year, I am genuinely blown away by your generosity. Last season, our BB&B community, along with my family and friends, donated over 600 winter essentials to children and families across the Greater Philadelphia area. Your kindness continues to move me.
Cradles to Crayons® is the largest national nonprofit dedicated to ending Children’s Clothing Insecurity by providing millions of essential items—warm clothing, shoes, diapers, coats, hats, gloves, and school supplies—to children who need them most.
This year feels even more special because my daughter is now old enough to volunteer at The Giving Factory in Philadelphia. She and I will be volunteering together and personally delivering all of your donations. It’s incredibly meaningful to share this experience with her—and with all of you!
To make sure kids receive their essentials as early as possible, we’re kicking off the drive sooner and wrapping up by Sunday, December 14th!
Let’s come together as a community—again—to KEEP KIDS WARM this winter!
— Nicole | Founder of Books, Brunches & Booze®

Don’t miss this cozy, year-end bookish hangout! Booking author Q&As around the holidays can be tricky — so this December, we’re celebrating with a festive, year-end wrap-up BB&B style.
As the year winds down, let’s gather for a relaxed evening of connection, conversation, and all things books. This member-only virtual roundtable is your chance to:
✨ share the books that lived in your brain this year
✨ gush over the stories that made you feel deeply
✨ vent about the ones that hurt in the best/worst ways
✨ swap hidden gems you read outside of book club
✨ get inspired for your 2026 TBR
✨ reflect on the themes, characters, and moments that stayed with you long after you closed the page
Like a cozy living-room chat with your bookish best friends, this event is all about community, laughter, nostalgia, and a collective celebration of everything we read in 2025.
Grab your beverage of choice, bring your favorite reads, and get ready to share, reflect, and connect.

He’s the Ghost of Christmas Past. She’s not exactly Scrooge.

Ghost of Christmas Past Nolan Callahan intends to spend this holiday haunting like every other—get in, get out, return to his otherwise aimless existence as a ghost awaiting the afterlife. But when he’s faced with Harriet York, the sweetest assignment he’s ever had, he suddenly finds himself wishing for a future.

Harriet York has no idea why she’s being haunted. She’s a good person—or, at least, she tries to be. A people pleaser to her core, she always does what’s expected of her. But as she and Nolan begin to examine her past, they discover there are threads that bind them together— and realize there might be more to moving on than expected.

With the deadline of Christmas Eve fast approaching, will they find the key to their futures in each other’s pasts? Or will they stay firmly in the present, indulging in their unexpected, spirited connection?

Filled with magic, mayhem, and cozy holiday charm
