so-so

A Hallmark Christmas movie in a book. Identical twins switch places and find love in each other‘s town. It was fine.

@Chrissyreadit I can‘t give you an audio rec bc we are on team Tonies for our busy brained 4yo. Each one of these characters has stories on it and that‘s how he falls asleep every night. Some are “jazzy” like Spidey so he has to skip the songs and only listen to the story if he picks one of those for bed.

Another book from the Holiday in Heart Falls series. This one was a lot better than the last one. The characters were better and loved the little girl Talia. #SeriesLove25 #Read2025 @DieAReader @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

Not sure why I feel compelled to follow up on my last post about shoveling with this information, but please humor me. 🥴🤪. A big old 12-18” of snow and high winds for two days.

Butterfinger It was a good thing you cleared off your roofs. Stay safe and warm. 6d

Suet624 @Butterfinger thanks! As long as the wind doesn‘t knock out our electricity it should be a lovely few days. 6d

AmyG Wow! We are getting snow, too. Just got pulled out of a snow bank. Stay home. Stay safe. 6d

Suet624 @Luke-XVX hahaha. 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures I live in a town where snow in the forecast shuts everything down, I can't imagine this 😂. We had 2 days of snow this week and I haven't left my house. You snow people are a different breed! Hope you stay warm and snug. 6d

Leftcoastzen Yikes ! 6d

Suet624 @ChaoticMissAdventures I remember when I lived in Tennessee and once there was a thin layer of ice on the roads that stopped everyone for several days. So I get it. I pay extra for studded tires now and shovel throughout a snowstorm so I don't have to get stuck with shoveling all 12 inches in one go. :). Where do you live? 6d

ChaoticMissAdventures @Suet624 I live in Portland Oregon, and we get snow every year usually once and no one is prepared! I have lived in snowier places but people here are super dangerous driving, there was a 100 cat pile up on Thursday, so I just don't leave the house (super lucky I can work from home) Ice is the real danger! 6d

Suet624 @ChaoticMissAdventures that‘s wild. I thought Portland got a good amount of snow. And a 100 car pileup? That‘s nuts! 6d

AkashaVampie U and me don't live too too car from each other. I'm in Plattsburgh, NY 6d

AkashaVampie I meant far... not car 6d

kspenmoll Sue, thinking of you- hope hope you din‘t lose power. 💕 6d

sarahbarnes Wow. Hope you‘re staying safe. 6d

Suet624 @AkashaVampie You're right! We could practically wave to each other.. :)

Suet624 @Jeg In some ways it's nice - it's so old school Vermont to have snow up past your head. 6d

Suet624 @kspenmoll Thanks Katherine. So far so good. The high winds haven't started yet but we are overwhelmed by the snow right now. 6d

Suet624 @sarahbarnes Besides snow shoveling, all is good. Definitely not driving . 6d

marleed Stay warm and safe. We are due to get significant snow this Tuesday and Wednesday. I‘m hoping I get a chance to shovel in doses but unlikely as I watch my 2-yo grandson on weekdays. But I‘m hopeful this will be our last hurrah for significant snow this season 🤞 5d

AkashaVampie @Suet624 my hubby works over in VT. So he probably drives by u all the time. He works for Performance Food Group as an overnight truck driver. He is working today in all the shit. 5d

Jeg Sue I have some vague memories of high snow when we lived in North Swanzey near Keene NH. Not being able to go to school. We caught a bus which took us to a new school Mt Caesar . 5d

The Little Snowgirl: An Old Russian Tale | Carolyn Croll

Over 5,000 lbs. of snow had to be pulled off the upper roof to the porch roof and then 3 of us shoveled the porch roof to the ground. That pile on the ground is up to my nose. And a nor‘easter will start tomorrow. I feel like I‘ve been shoveling for weeks. This weekend it will be just me, the books and watching the snow fall.

Jas16 Living somewhere it never it snows, I cannot even fathom this. I often wish it would snow in San Francisco but none of us could handle it. 1w

LeahBergen Yikes! It‘s snowing here today in my part of Canada but nothing like that! 1w

Suet624 @Jas16 It‘s so beautiful when it comes down but as it adds up, I can be super heavy to shovel. This year was the first year we‘ve had to rake the upper roof. Usually it just slides right off and I just shoveled the flat roof. I kept being afraid that the roof would collapse on me. 1w

Suet624 @LeahBergen Tomorrow is when our big storm starts, so I wanted to be sure to get that snow off the roof. Another 10 inches wasn‘t going to be a good thing. 😳 1w

tpixie @Suet624 I‘ve never thought about having to shovel the snow off the roof!!! Amazing job! I bet you are exhausted 🥱 Glad you are safe. 🩵 ⛄️ 🩵 1w

Suet624 @tpixie thank you! I‘ve noticed that on our town‘s forum lots of people are asking for help raking their roofs. Something about the weather this winter has made the snow stick to metal roofs, which is really uncommon. I‘ve been here 11 years and I have never had to do it before. (edited) 1w

dabbe Wowza! Glad you are safe, you powerful woman, you! ❣️💪🏻❣️ 1w

tpixie @Suet624 very interesting good luck with the next batch of snow! 1w

kspenmoll Here I was worried all January about no snow! We have some, but nothing in comparison- only 6 is expected tomorrow but also lots of ice/sleet which makes for power outages & falling tree limbs. Snow up to your nose!!!!! Glad your roof is safe & you are bundled up.💕💕💕 1w

squirrelbrain Glad you‘re OK + good luck with the next storm. 7d

Cathythoughts Enjoy your book weekend 🤍 7d

Jeg Shovelling all that snow you will be very fit! 6d

DogMomIrene @Suet624 Interesting about snow sticking to the metal roof. I haven‘t heard this one before, but my research into steel roofs isn‘t super deep. We‘re years away from converting🤞🏼 Hope you‘re well rested now! 6d

Suet624 @BarbaraBB More snow, so more shoveling this weekend, but it's gorgeous. 6d

Suet624 @Deblovestoread You're right about the weight. The snow on the roof wasn't fluffy - it was solid and heavy. And no joke. 6d

Suet624 @squirrelbrain @cathythoughts Thanks to you both. 6d

Suet624 @DogMomIrene Generally speaking, the metal roof has been fine. Someone on our local forum said he'd had a metal roof for 43 years and his was completely covered too. It was the first time he had experienced it in all that time. 6d

We Wish You a Murderous Christmas | Vicki Delany

I started this on audio- and could not get into it at all, but when i switched to reading I enjoyed it much better. The setting is Upstate NY and a year round Christmas Town- I thought that was funny because in College it felt like it snowed October until May in Utica NY. I liked the characters, was a little survey the killer and overall enjoyed the mystery.

TiredLibrarian Did you go to Utica College? I did! 💙🧡 1w

Chrissyreadit @TiredLibrarian I did! I graduated in 1993. When were you there? 1w

TiredLibrarian @Chrissyreadit Graduated twice! Psychology in 1986 and English/education in 1992. Pretty close! 1w

Chrissyreadit @TiredLibrarian crazy! I graduated with Child Life Psychology. we probably had some of the same teachers! Do you live in/near Utica? I drove through it a couple years ago and barely recognized it! 1w

TiredLibrarian @Chrissyreadit I'm in Rome NY. I remember Dr. Moltman, Della Ferguson, Dr. Brown, Dr. Zellner, Polly Ginsburg from the psych dept. I'm sure I had others I don't remember anymore. I loved it there. 💙🧡 1w

Chrissyreadit @TiredLibrarian YES! Same I loved and had Mel Moltman, Della Fergeson, Cevita Brown and Polly Ginsburg - and I don‘t know if you knew or remember Dr. Vespa but another favorite. I think i had an amazing education there. 1w

Small Things Like These (Oprah's Book Club) | Claire Keegan

pan

I wanted so bad to like this book! I waited for literal months to get it from my library. BUT I felt like I missed something when reading it. Everyone seems touched, moved or in tears while reading this, but I was bored. I couldn‘t relate to the characters, found bits confusing sometimes, and felt as if there was no plot at all. It felt lackluster. Or maybe I wasn‘t in the Christmas spirit? It is February after all.

shortsarahrose I also didn‘t like this book! It gets so much love here that it seemed like I was the only one 😆 1w

Christmas vibes weren't really captured here, yet the storyline was good and the characters were likable.

This is about second chances, about escaping living under the influence of a toxic friendship, about not being a people pleaser to those who refuse to value you, and about self discovery.

This was really good, although the the most spicy of Christmas books I have read, which was unexpected 🌶️👀😂.

#WindowShoppingreviewedbyanncrystal

AnnCrystal P.S. There was a nice sprinkle of Christmas scenes in this one, I just didn't feel the Christmas vibes throughout. (edited) 2w
