I really enjoyed this book! I want to buy a physical copy of it so I can refer to it easily when cooking. I learned so much about salt and acid that I started to implement the tips into my cooking. I also listened to the audio while reading the ebook and it was so much fun! Samin Nosrat narrates it and she is a great storyteller!

The Woman in Me | Britney Spears

I was not a major fan of Britney but after being released from her conservatorship, I was interested in her book. I listened to the audio and highly enjoyed it. Though Britney did not read her book (her intro said she was too emotional), the narrator did a great job in conveying Britney's emotions. I am so happy that she is free.

Yeah...I tried to like this one, but it didn't work for me. There was no depth to the characters, and it was really hard to believe their "love" was real and meant to be. Also, this book needed much editing. The good thing about this book, though, is that it was short.

After watching The Man Who Invented Christmas, I wanted to know more behind the story of Scrooge. What better way than to do so by reading from this series? This is a good book for young ones to learn a brief summary of A Christmas Carol and get snippets of Charles Dickens' life.

A Murder Yule Regret | Winnie Archer

Finished one of our team's books. This was a cute, cozy mystery set in California. Even though this is book 7 in the series, I really liked that we are able to jump into this world without reading the previous books. There were many suspects and clues, but it wasn't until towards the end that the real culprit made sense. Also, I really loved Agatha the dog.

I actually enjoyed this book. It was light and cozy. I highly enjoyed the different holidays that were represented and the friendship that grew between the two main characters.
3.5 ⭐️

Bk1 of #WinterGames & #20in4 #readathon was finished Sunday. Sorry I haven‘t posted till now, we‘ve had a bad start to December here. I have read a few books still. This NF is one I‘ve wanted to read for years, Watergate is fascinating. Written by the two journalists who persevered with the story even under pressure from government agencies who just wanted the incident to go away. Nixon & Trump have a lot in common! #TeamEvergreen #4866pts 👇

Andrew65 Sorry to hear that, sending best wishes ❤️ Have you seen the film? 12mo
Bookwormjillk I hope December gets better! 12mo

CatLass007 At least Nixon knew when it was time to throw in the towel. 12mo

Clwojick Great job! 12mo

Lizpixie @andrew65 thanks lovely. It‘s been pretty crappy both healthwise & familywise, fingers crossed things change before Xmas🤞Yes, I love the movie! Just did a rewatch before listening to the audiobook. Those guys were real journalists, backed up by a reputable paper that actually had their backs. Very impressed by them, totally disgusted with Nixon & his gang of merry hatchet men #IAmNotACrook✌️ 12mo
Lizpixie @Bookwormjillk thank you! I hope so too❤️ @CatLass007 oh he was dragged out kicking & screaming all the way, don‘t worry. AFTER throwing everyone who helped, conspired & believed in him under the bus first. He‘s just lucky that some of the international leaders he clandestinely recorded didn‘t retaliate honestly. I highly recommend reading this, what he (almost)got away with is insane! 12mo
Bookwormjillk Also I really liked 12mo
CatLass007 I remember watching him give his resignation speech live on television. I know he would like to have stayed in power but he wasn‘t completely tone deaf about what would happen if he didn‘t resign. He thought he could get away with the things he did but he eventually realized that resigning was the best thing for him. I‘m sure he was given guarantees that Gerald Ford would pardon him. 12mo
Lizpixie @Bookwormjillk thanks for the recce! Another book on my overstuffed TBR 🫣It sounds brilliant.👍 12mo
Lizpixie @CatLass007 I was only two years old when this happened so no firsthand memories for me! But even here in Australia, Nixon was taught in school & documentaries were on tv plus the fabulous movie with Redford & Hoffman. Watergate has always been a moment in history that fascinated me but even so this book has a lot of behind the scenes bad behaviour that was new. The recent mini series Gaslit with Julia Roberts I highly recommend as well👍 12mo
dabbe I have read this numerous times, and I still learn something new every time I read it! 🤩😍😃 12mo
BookmarkTavern Sounds fascinating! 👍🏻 12mo

Ugh. This was awful. Like just terrible. No chemistry between these two horrible people, and no festive atmosphere at all.
1st finish for #wintergames (6hours×10×11thons)+(261words×10)+1=3,271 #gangstawrappers @Bookwormjillk

Andrew65 Oh no, not a good start, but things can only get better. 12mo
Texreader Ahhh. But lots of points. So a plus side nonetheless! 12mo
AnnR Awww, sorry the story wasn't good. I think some of the newer holiday romances and cozies can be 'iffy' in the story development department. Cheers on all the points you got though! 👍🎉🎄 12mo
TheAromaofBooks Oh no! At least it's off the list!! 12mo
PuddleJumper Yay points! Sad the book wasn't any good 12mo
