Well, there was No Way I was walking in a new to me bookstore and not walking out with this

"The android whose name was Boy set out on an adventure."

Back from France and at home I found my #jolabokaflodswap waiting for me! Thank you so much Abi, I love Toblerone and Banana Yoshimoto is a favorite author! Also thanks for the extras 💕

I am sorry I wasn‘t at home on Christmas Eve to open the gift but I am extra happy with it now 🤍🎄🤍

This is overall, a not good short story collection. It ranges from retreads of horror tropes to boring to incoherent. Do not recommend. 1.5⭐️

I feel seen! 😂 A far-fetched novella rendition of how it feels to ponder, plan, and execute an entire family holiday alone, making every individual feel special.

“It was quickly becoming clear how tightly Mom and Christmas were linked in our hearts and minds. What would happen should our mother not return home before the twenty-fifth of December, for instance? Nothing. Nothing would happen at all. And what kind of Christmas, pray tell, is that?”

This mornings reads: Dark Christmas & The Three French Henchmen. #3 #day27 #TheTwelveDaysofChristmas
