Welcome to winter!!

November 26, 2025 Happy Thanksgiving Eve. Stay safe and celebrate responsibly. DONE! This book was so-so. To me, there wasnt much excitement among the characters. It kind of reminds me of another book I read that was focused on time travel: Five Years Later. All in all, I would rate the book 3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
November 26, 2025 Page 311 "Did I jump through time, or did I lose my memory?" I ask. The old woman in a tartan waistcoat replies, "What do you think, duckie?" Lucy says, "I jumped". She responds, "You wished it. So, tell me, is it a grand improvement on before?" Lucy states, "Yes and no. It's complicated. But also kind of wonderful" (looks down at wedding ring).

I know this is bells on a ribbon, but it looks like an open book on fire. We're traveling for Thanksgiving and every light pole in this town looks like a book bonfire. Maybe if the ribbon was green it would work better?

Page 273 I start to open the door, but now he's standing behind me, reaching out his hand to cover mine on the doorknob, pushing the door closed, his broad, hot body pressed against mine. My body pulses with longing as he leans in to kiss my neck... We make love right there against the door.
November 25, 2025 Page 222 Sam shares some sad news with Lucy even though he knows that she has lost memory.

Looking at the pictures causes Lucy to feel emotional.
November 25, 2025 Because of this argument that Lucy and Sam had, will they stay together OR will they wnd up apart? Stay tuned to find out!
November 25, 2025 Page 205-206 "But I feel bad for liking it. It feels weirdly disloyal, and you acting like this is the first time we've had sex in the shower has just thrown me because we've had sex in there a hundred times. And you never take off your rings, except to sleep. It makes me feel like I'm with somellone else, and if you're not my wife, I... I don't know where she went." Lucy says, "I am myself. I know who I am."
November 25, 2025 Even though Lucy is forgetful and has no sense of long term memory, she is trying her best to be the mom to the two kids she has with Sam. She doesn't remember having kids, but she is trying, trying, trying. On page 205, when she gets into the shower with Sam, she says, " You know, I've never had sex in the shower before". In return, he says, "Why aren't you wearing your wedding ring?" He is clearly upset at her for...

I took a little break from reading a translation of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong and finished reading Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding.
