1. Kirk Cameron‘s “Saving Christmas” If I‘m honest, I didn‘t watch it, and I would probably never watch it. The reviews make me think it just might be the worst Christmas movie ever! 🎄
2. Night—I like to be clean to get in bed 🚿
3. Minette, which is the name I use...my first name is mere ornament 🔖
4. Finishing several books, I hope! 🤞🏼
5. Okey-dokey 👍

hermyknee Oh I missed this one on Friday! Thanks for the tag! The only thing I have an answer for is the first one - my favorite tv show as a kid was literally everything on Nickelodeon! 🙌🏽🧡 7y

This is the first in the Rabbi Small mystery series and it was charming. In the course of the book, we learn a little Talmudic law and become acquainted with what a rabbi is and does and learn differences between Judaism and other religions. A really good mystery and an extremely tolerant police chief round out this delightful book. I look forward to reading more books in this series.

Dragon Time for a reread, my grandmother was a big mystery fan so I read quite a few of these mysteries. I remember I liked them 👍 7y

I needed a palate cleanser and this book is doing the trick. I just recently purchased the first seven books in the Rabbi Small mystery series and decided now was as good a time as any to begin. Reading an old/new mystery series is always great fun, especially if it's well written and a quick read. The bad part of it is that when you're done you're done. ''Tis ever the book lover's dilemma.

rubyslippersreads My dad loved these books. 😊 7y

Oh, Thriftbooks. You are so bad for the height and breadth of my TBR pile.

Mariposa_Bookworm I love ThriftBooks. They keep sending me e-mails that say Oh! We found your book. I get sucked into the book vortex... it's lovely... 7y
rubyslippersreads Did someone put neon hole reinforcements on a book spine? 😮 7y
Suelizbeth @Mariposa_Bookworm I know! I always think, I didn't even know I was looking for that book, but obviously I need it. 7y
Suelizbeth @rubyslippersreads It would appear so, and I'm not at all sure why. 7y
heikemarie I don't know if it was intentional to start on the day Shabbat starts but this looks fun! 7y

This was fun! A little slow to start, but I like Rabbi Small.
