Nutcracker (Deluxe Edition)

Nutcracker | E T a Hoffmann

Why hello there!

I came out of my Market Fair and Hunted Antiques & Collectables wander with a nutcracker, a Dutch copper teapot with a ceramic handle and some Tupperware containers.

Last book read during 2nd week of HP Winter Magical Readathon.1rst time reading the story, sounds bad but is true😔My idea of this story was through the ballet interpretations I have seen. But the story is so different, a little bit dark, strange but I enjoyed it. I can say that Tchaikovsky was a genius creating the music & my applause to those ballet companies. 3.7⭐️I received this gorgeous edition from😍 @mabell last year 2018, Thank you😘

mabell Pretty nutcracker! 😍 I‘ve never read the original either! (And I completely forgot I sent it to you! 😆) I‘m so glad you enjoyed it - I‘m going to have to read it too. 5y

Gissy @mabell I'm trying to place a post it inside the book indicating from whom I received it, the name of the swap and the year but I started that too late. It is a gorgeous edition! Thank you! 5y

First Christmas book of the season - this edition is gorgeously illustrated in a '70s style which captures a wonderful feeling of nostalgia for me.

LeahBergen That‘s lovely! 😍 5y

Bookwomble @LeahBergen I'll undoubtedly post images of a few of the interactions as I read through - not too many , though, wouldn't want to spoil the enjoyment of discovery for other readers 😊 5y

Bookwomble Illustrations not interactions 🙄 5y

Book 102 of the year, finished Dec 6, audio

Im feeling Christmasy! It had never occurred to me before that there was an original story behind the ballet, but here it is. A thoroughly enjoyable little book that I found on a list of monthly picks from the Librivox website.

Hi #TeamNutcracker!

The 3 tagged team members are not yet on slack. If you want to join us, the link is attached below. This is just a group chat with some relevant info for the #WinterGames. If not I will be repeating on litsy anyway :)

We are planning a card exchange between team members. This will likely be one card. If you would like to participate please send me an email by 1st Dec.

And finally FAQs can also be found in the comments 🤶🏻

Kshakal What is your email?? 5y

Bookworm54 To participate in the group card exchange please email me at gemma0504@hotmail.co.uk with your address and whether you are okay posting internationally or would prefer to post local. There is no pressure to participate in this exchange, and only one card will be sent. Once I have the replies on the 1st Dec I will send out the name and address of your match so that you have time to post before Christmas 🎄 5y

litenthusiast I signed up earlier today. Am I still not showing up? 5y

Bookworm54 @litenthusiast I have you showing on slack now :) 5y

Bookworm54 @TheKidUpstairs Hi Megan! You will be on #TeamNutcracker for the upcoming #WinterGames as we had to have a reshuffle. I have tagged you in this post as it contains links to our slack group and the FAQs. There is still time to join in the group card exchange if you would be interested too :) let me know by the end of the week! Welcome and I look forward to your posts! 5y

TheKidUpstairs Hi #TeamNutcracker ! I'm excited to join your team 😁 I'll send you an email today, I'd love to join the card exchange. And I'll try and get the slack app working again (I've had some problems with it in the past), fingers crossed! 5y

Hello #TeamNutcracker I am your team captain for the #WinterGames :)

Tag me in all your posts with @Clwojick and @StayCurious so I can track points. More info will be filtered out nearer the time!

Would anyone be interested in a card exchange in the team? We can each send one card, or send to all. If you have any thoughts on the card swap or anything else, leave a comment or email me at gemma0504@hotmail.co.uk ☺️

Clwojick Woohoo! Go #TeamNutcracker! ❄️☃️ 5y

ElizaMarie I would love doing a card exchange :) 5y

Sarahreadstoomuch Oh and I would be in for a card exchange! 5y

BethM @Clwojick @StayCurious did team members get emails or only captains? Because I def didn‘t get one. 5y

Bookworm54 @BethM just captains I think (edited) 5y

Marmie7 Love the name #TeamNutcracker ! I'd love a Christmas Card exchange😁 5y

Clwojick Just the team captains for now. @BethM 5y

TEArificbooks Yeah! So excited to be on #teamnutcracker. I would be up for a card exchange. 5y

BethM @Clwojick thanks I was worried I missed something! 5y

OriginalCyn620 Go #teamnutcracker! I‘d love to do a card exchange! I‘d be up for mailing cards to the whole group but however the majority votes is fine with me. 5y

Kshakal Go #teamnutcracker!!!!! 5y

peaKnit It depends on the size of the group but cards would be nice:) I have been watching holiday tv today, when should I be tagging for points? I may need a remedial link😂🎄 5y

Bookworm54 @peaknit we start on December 1st so it doesn‘t yet count unfortunately. But way to get into the spirit! There are 11 of us so far, but depends how many more people sign up! I‘m not sure where everyone lives either so some may be international postage 5y

Kshakal @Bookworm54 I would love to do a Christmas card exchange!!! Are we going to get an email or something with the points breakdown?? 5y

Bookworm54 @Kshakal I‘m not too sure what the plan is so far, I imagine it won‘t stray too far from the plan on the sign up page. But I will make sure you all have a rundown regardless before we start! :) 5y

Kshakal @Bookworm54 sounds good!! 5y

ImperfectCJ I'm up for a card exchange. (Sorry for the delayed reply. I lost track of this post and had trouble finding it again. I need to improve my Litsy post management for these games!) 5y

litenthusiast I would be up for a card exchange as well. 😊 5y

Bookworm54 Welcome @SquidgetsRoom and @LMJenkins to #TeamNutcracker 🥳 I will be sending out some more information soon and sounding everyone out about who is interested in card swaps etc so will do a proper post when I get chance tomorrow! Until then welcome and speak soon! 5y

LMJenkins Thanks - Looking forward to it! How many people are in our group? I am not sure that I'd be up for a card exchange....ordered mine already and usually use every last one on family/friends. I could definitely do one card.

5y

LMJenkins I saw that another team started a Slack conversation for keeping up with the team during #WinterGames....anyone interested in that? I could start it and post the link for our group, if so. Team Captain @Bookworm54, you let me know if you do. 5y

Bookworm54 @LMJenkins it‘s potentially international as well. A slack group will probably make it easier to track conversations than scrolling through comments so sounds like a plan! :) 5y

LMJenkins Okay, lets try this: https://join.slack.com/t/litsygroup/shared_invite/enQtODI5MzAwNjUxODU5LWU4NGZmY2...

Caveat: I use Slack for work and I'm hoping it'll be easy to have a separate channel for this without it interfering with my work channel. If it isn't, I may have to bow out. 5y

DieAReader Super excited to be a part of #TeamNutcracker for the #WinterGames. Thanks for the tag @Bookworm54 I appreciate it! I‘m new to #Litsy challenges & whatnot as well as Slack so, I may be a bit slow lol! I look forward to more I do when it comes! I could do 1 Christmas card for sure! 5y
