The Legacy of the Bones (The Baztan Trilogy, Book 2) | Dolores Redondo

pick

Sorry that I am continuing with my late book reviews but this a closure I must do, even if I finish it first week of January 2026. If I want to improve this task next year, I must complete it now, this one. I‘m a finisher in my races…so I will do in this task📚💪

July 2025 Book #1 second book in this first trilogy. Liked it not loved it. New family dynamics , more secrets are revealed and the story in general in so interesting⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) but it has so many unnecessary details😳I think every leaf 🍃 is described in the story that sometimes I got distracted, forcing myself to continue At least that part. But something happens to main character that I want to know, I want to continue but I‘m afraid that third book will have the same structure 🙄3.5/3.8⭐️ 7h

May 2025 Book #1

I really wanted to like this book but it was a little disappointed to me. It has mixed reviews, people love it or not. Well, I‘m one of those who didn‘t like it much. That beginning was just unrealistic and then even when it has creepy scenes, it didn‘t make any sense unless you “imagine” what you want to happen. For me was more like a mental health situation. No, it wasn‘t for me 2.5/3⭐️

Here I come again...like the song, trying to review all the books I read in 2025 task to be completed by tomorrow😱In 2026 reading goals this will be improved. Good news, I didn‘t read much this year😅
May 2025 Book #1 I started the book the previous month but finished it on May. Like this author‘s writing style. Stories are inspired on real facts and it‘s interesting to search for the real facts while reading. I liked the twists and ending. 4⭐️

Simple Joys: Reflections on Life�S Little Miracles | Kathleen McDonald

❤️ My family always put candles on our family graves on Christmas Eve night*, and it was one of my favorite traditions. I no longer live where most of our family is buried, so I gathered up some photos and lit a candle for them.
❤️ The jókabókaflód swap was such a joy. I am halfway through the book. It's so good.
❤️ My other favorite Christmas Eve tradition: riisi puuroa for dessert
❤️ Bracciole for Christmas Eve dinner
❤️ Gift card from work

Cheers!: Cocktails and Toasts to Celebrate Every Day of the Year | Philip Greene

#AuldLangSpine #Cheers! @monalyisha
Turns out almost all the photos of me drinking involve books (Litsy may be the only place where this is true for others). I drink black coffee every morning, and my typical fun drink of choice is IPA (Oktoberfest beers are 2nd maybe). I also really like whiskey, bourbon, or scotch, with just a little water. I never had a favorite cocktail until my birthday this past year when I tried a 'rusty nail' - delicious!

Billypar Honorable mentions to tea (black/green) and wine (red). I might have these from time to time, but the tannins don't agree with my stomach all the time. 1w

Billypar *The main photo is from Spotty Dog Books and Ale, a bookstore/bar in Hudson NY - highly recommended! 1w

monalyisha Love this! I‘ll definitely have to bring a book to a local brewery and snap a pic at some point during the month. I think it‘s a safe bet to kick the 1st off with a coffee cheers. ☕️ I‘m also interested in this Rusty Nail situation! I have an inkling that my husband may like it more than I will… but I love trying new things. Will keep you posted about ingredients acquisition & the likelihood of me actually drinking one. 😉 1w

Leftcoastzen Cool post ! 🍷Hope your holiday season is great ! 1w

Amiable My husband and I visited the Spotty Dog last summer —very cool place! He especially loved the fact that it‘s in an old firehouse (he‘s a firefighter). 7d

Billypar @monalyisha A coffee cheers to kick things off sounds great! So, when I had the drink out, it was the fancy version (with 'olive oil washed bourbon', and not called a rusty nail - I had to look up the ingredients later). I haven't tried to recreate that one, but the Drambuie still helps improve the humble blended whiskey that was previously collecting dust in my liquor cabinet. 7d

Billypar @Leftcoastzen Thanks - happy holidays to you as well! 6d

Billypar @Amiable I love converted spaces in general - gets away from the cookie cutter saminess in a lot of modern places. I've only been once but would love to go back at some point. 6d

TieDyeDude I'll have to try a Rusty Nail! I think a Kentucky Mule is probably my most reliable cocktail, but, when done right, sazarac is #1. We don't have any subdued bars local, so we usually go to a brewery for reading. We like the dark beers 😁 #cheers 6d

Billypar @TieDyeDude Those sound good - I never even heard of a Sazarac but have wondered what absinthe tastes like. I've had mixed success reading in bars - definitely depends on the bar! 5d

To think that this movie didn't do well at the box office when it first came out still stuns me. Good ol' George Bailey ... the richest man in town. Plus, Jimmy Stewart! 💚🤍♥️

AnnCrystal it is strange that this wasn't successful at first. I haven't seen this in years, but it was a childhood favorite...I need to revisit this classic 💚🎬🤍🎄❤️. 1w

JenlovesJT47 My favorite favorite Christmas movie. The colorized version is phenomenal if you haven‘t seen it. And I have such a huge crush on Harry! He is so adorable. 🥰♥️💚🤍 6d

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 This is my sister's favorite, too. I had to share it with her as well (she's not on Litsy). This is in my top three (the others being LOVE ACTUALLY and THE HOLIDAY ... this year!) But Jimmy Stewart is always #1! 💚🤍♥️ 5d

JenlovesJT47 This is the first year I haven‘t watched The Holiday before Christmas. I love that movie, need to fix that this coming week. You have excellent taste! Love Actually is hilarious and heartwarming. My faves are this, White Christmas and Trading Places. But there are so many good ones! ♥️🤍💚 5d

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Excellent choices! And you're right; there are so many good ones. We should do a Christmas movie something event on Litsy next year. ♥️🤍💚 5d
