1) Finally winning a game on cribbage night after a long losing streak
2) Blizzard conditions in Montana! I love playing in the snow
3) My neighbor showing up with a skid steer and saving me an extra hour of shoveling
4) I‘ve been really into lighting a work candle in the morning
5) Winning my skeptical husband over on a new recipe (we love cooking but every time I tell him I‘m making something new he poopoos it)
And I also rate The Flophouse Years - hippies in Dorset , England - and a weird-ass religious cult lurking in the recent past. Ooh-er, I wrote that one.
pickI‘m glad I didn‘t bail, almost did a few times.There are 5+ characters who are connected,2 timelines,the story is only told through diary entries,letters or newspaper articles. It‘s a bit boring at the beginning & Sophie&Allen‘s love declarations for one another are a bit too saccharine.I‘m also normally not a fantasy/magical realism fan but this worked for me because the “fantasy elements” were taken from
pickI love this book! I didn‘t expect the ending and it definitely made me sad—though I don‘t think it was a bad one, just unexpected. This is a beautiful story about love, grief, finding community, nature, and perseverance. Definitely recommend and I‘m glad I started this year with such a warm book.

This book is truly magical. It‘s set in Alaska, a place I long to visit. It‘s based on a children‘s book in which an older couple longed for a child that they could not have. Along came a magical snow child who could only survive in the cold. I love the description of the coat that Mabel made for the snow child in the version I read. I also loved the descriptions of the Alaska wilderness.I don‘t know that I could survive an Alaskan winter though
“How will I stop loving him, Mama? Will I .... forget ?”
Mama sighed.
“Ah. That. Love doesn't fade or die, baby girl. People tell you it does, but it doesn't. If you love him now, you'll love him in ten years and in forty. Differently, maybe , a faded version, but he's part of you now. And you are part of him.”
