Gingerbread is technically a pastry, right? RIGHT? ;-)

#Riotgrams #BooksAndPastries I stopped by the local bookstore and got a coffee and danish for my wife on the way home (some mishap in my tastebuds/neurons makes coffee taste like poison to me).

Creadnorthey This such a good book! 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk @Creadnorthey I am really digging it! 6y

It was enough suspenseful that I finished with reading it, but ... I don‘t know if I have to blame the translation, or this story is written in a quite poor language. Yes to the story, no for the language. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

twohectobooks I didn‘t have too many problems with the prose in the English version! It was spectacular but it wasn‘t noticeably bad either. :) 6y
Simona @twohectobooks What was bothering me was the narration of the grownup Ed - his vocabulary/voicing wasn‘t so different than his expressions when he was 12 yo ... 6y
twohectobooks @Simona that is definitely a fair criticism! 6y

I hope my current read with a couple of gingerbread biscuits my daughter made will suffice for #booksandpastries

CarolynM @Victoria_Clyne Are you enjoying it? It's making me laugh quite a lot🙂 6y
Victoria_Clyne @CarolynM I am. I'm about half way through. It feels a bit like a guilty pleasure for some reason. 6y
