Finally finished one of my #ReadYourKindle books for November. It had long chapters. It was more technical about planes than I cared for. Murphy did take me on the journey with him from joining the USAAF to being liberated from a German POW camp .

This is Bigfoot‘s guide for surviving the holidays. It includes stories on how he and his friends handled various seasonal incidents. He also gives advice on topics that include handling stress, hosting, and gift-giving. It was cute but quickly grew stale. I think the format of having to stick to a how-to guide hindered the fun and creativity. I think a holiday-themed story collection about Bigfoot and his forest friends would be more fun.

I had trouble settling down to read, but this is on my #BookSpinBingo list and it was convenient so I decided to give it a try, and read 38% more or less in one go. Hurrah for finding something that could tickle my brainstem.

I'm definitely curious what's going on here, which side of the whole thing is lying/perhaps killed or conspired to kill Christabel. Curious structure to it, too.

shanaqui I am quite curious about Fitt's non-pseudonymous work as Kathleen Freeman, It Has All Happened Before: What the Greeks Thought of their Nazis. 1d

Finally putting up my December #BookSpin / #ReadYourKindle lists and my #BookSpinBingo board. I was struggling to locate seasonal stickers, but I‘m sure I will find some as soon as I post this. 😅 I carried over my unused free spaces for the year. Going to try for a blackout board but I‘ve never done that before 😂

This story of two mothers and their families held me captivated. I felt for Mrs. Fowler, and I came to care for Mrs. Willoughby, too. The last chapter was exactly the ending I needed. I can see myself picking this one again in another year or two. Classic Persephone!

This was my February #BookSpin pick.

Caryl The title was perfect — the life of a parent of adult children is like being on (or witnessing your kids on) a chaotic “roundabout” sometimes, where you have little control except to be there to cheer, wave, whatever they need when they pass you by each time. 2d
LeahBergen I thoroughly enjoyed this one, too (and just reminded myself that I need to read more Crompton!). 2d
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2d

Delilah and Anthony shared a steamy kiss last Christmas, then things got suddenly frosty. This year, they‘re roped into the town‘s Christmas festivities, and they have no choice but to face the miscommunication that happened prior. A sweet romance with a bit of spice!

TheAromaofBooks Also, you have been on Litsy for a while - do you know where we should report this obnoxious spam commenter?? 2d

OriginalCyn620 @thearomaofbooks the only thing I know is to flag the comment by holding down on it and choosing “flag” from the menu of options. Then you can describe why you‘re flagging it. Wonder if it‘s some kind of bot? 2d
TheAromaofBooks Oh nice, I didn't even realize you could flag comments that way! I don't know if it's a bot or what, but I have seen that exact comment on soooo many posts today - a lot of people are tagging me with their BookSpin lists/boards and it felt like half of them had this comment on it! Plus on my own post! 😂 2d
julieclair This looks cute! 1d
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks That spam is everywhere on Litsy today! I‘m going to start flagging it. 1d
TheAromaofBooks @julieclair - I suppose I should be grateful because I really don't see spam much on Litsy like I do other places. But it makes it all the more aggravating when it appears 😂 22h

While still good, the 3rd book in The Lost Queen Series, I didn't find as good as the first two. The Shadowed Land took us on a journey with Angharad, as she continues to develop as a Wisdom Keeper, and Artur, who follows in his father's footsteps. Languoreth and Lailoken still are prominent in the book. This one wasn't as long as the other two, either. I reread the first two books, since it had been a few years since I read them, before I ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read ⬆️ read this one. Now, I have to wait until the Fall of 2027 for the next book. Of course, I will have to reread the 3 before it, before I read it, which is okay since I love this series.

When reading this series, you can tell Pike put in a lot of hardwork and a lot of time doing research. She gives you a chance to travel back to 540 to 584 Scotland. My TBR grew also, because she listed some books in her note I would like to read concerning Artur.

😊 Happy Reading 😊
