Happy "pictures in front of the Christmas tree" season to all who celebrate ?

I wasn't sure if I would like this dystopian romance, but I really did - so much so that I would consider continuing the series.

I always enjoy spending some time in the world of Murakami. I didn‘t love this one quite as much as a few of his other books, but the idea of living in a library or in the woods sounds pretty great right now. One more from my #10BeforeTheEnd pile.

When I tried to pinch out a napkin from a dispenser, it tore and released only a little trim.

I tried again and only manage to tear off a larger piece. About to huff at the dispenser, I caught a glimpse of the larger torn piece of napkin in my hand.

Is it wacky me? Or is that the Batman symbol!

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 ⬇️

I had a fun time reading this. It was interesting and I finished it in one day. Yes it seemed a little more wooden than Katniss‘ story. I couldn‘t get behind Lenore as a character. And I really hated all the songs they kept quoting. The would quote the same song over and over. That seemed very unnecessary. But even with all that, I enjoyed the book and found it entertaining.

This was the cute, fairly low-stakes manga I needed today, due to the loss of a pet (Hulk, for those who know us). I love the little fact files between chapters -- it's obviously aimed at kids, but I'm enough of a dinosaur nerd to enjoy it all the same.

Masaruuu. 💙

My Mom got us a tree and we put it up today. With a reread of Winnie-the-Pooh and a fireplace crackling on the TV, I‘m feeling a bit festive. 🎄❄️ (There might be snow coming in tonight, I‘m hoping that doesn‘t happen!)

I read this book for #FoodandLit Italy, @Texreader @Catsandbooks. I thought it was the most ridiculous story ever. I knew most of it by tv from Disney, I had never read the book. I found it pretty violent. #SnowDecemberReadathon #Read2025 @DieAReader #ISpyBingoDec @TheAromaofBooks

I only got 50% but that‘s okay. It was a fun quiz anyway!🤷🏻‍♀️
