#WhatTheDickens

We stayed at The Parker House in Boston this weekend. They have an historical display in their basement. Ho Chi Minh was a pastry chef there from 1911 -1913! Lots of Kennedy connections and Dickens stayed there!!! Such a cool hotel on the Freedom trail and so close to Boston Commons. (This is not a sponsored post lol) @Texreader

Amiable Love that hotel — great location! We stayed there once when my boys were little and heard the stories about the famous guests, including Dickens. Later my youngest son (maybe 6 at the time) told his grandpa that we‘d stayed at a hotel where “you can see the ghost of Dick Cheney!” 😄 9h
Cuilin @Amiable 😂 😂 😂 9h

“The door whispers shut behind us. Above us, the moon drives its sickle through the encumbrances of cloud. Beneath us, veils of mist blossom from the pavement, weave through the ochre day-fog, and bind it tight. The world is falling away.”

#SweetValleyTwinsSuperChiller books were always my favorites! In this second #SweetValleyChristmas for the 6th graders, Elizabeth works for a fundraiser for the children‘s wing of the hospital & asks teen Hollywood star Beau Dillon for help but Jessica plans to meet him instead, leading to a re-imagining of #AChristmasCarol as Jessica is visited by her 2nd grade self, a unicorn of the present & a scary future without friends (but still fashion)!

JenlovesJT47 Man I haven‘t read this one in so long! 👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻 Do you have a list of the SVT books in publication order? 10mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 This was one of my favorites, for sure! I don‘t have an official list but I have been trying my best to read each series in publication order just based on the published dates— usually they come out one a month, so if the next number skipped a month, I start looking at the supers to see which one is from that missing month! 10mo
JenlovesJT47 Man I haven‘t read this one in so long that I had forgotten most of it. The only thing I remembered was the fancy carousel horse. I do think it‘s hilarious that in her vision of her high school self we are really supposed to believe Jessica would ever be unpopular lol. 😆 7mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I know…. An unpopular Jessica Wakefield?! A unbelievable fate worse than death! 🤣 This is one that I remembered well, but always enjoy reading it! 7mo

He had no further intercourse with Spirits, but lived upon the Total Abstinence Principle, ever afterwards; and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!

Here‘s my review for this book I didn‘t finish. This is also a #TeamBuddyRead but I‘m not going to count it towards the #wintergames and I‘m not going to do the #wordsearch on it.
