pickWhat a lovely and nostalgic look back at a time (1930s) and a place (Deep South Alabama) in a young boy‘s life. (And that boy is a very lightly fictionalized version of Truman Capote.)
With that #FictionalTraveler 2025 is a wrap!
“When I first got a glimpse of you,” said Morris with a smile, “I thought I had come on ahead of myself and got here first.”
Today‘s #KindredSpiritsChristmas story is “Ted‘s Double: A Christmas Folly”—like yesterday‘s tale, this one is new to me! You can find it here: https://www.fadedpage.com/books/20161232/html.php. This is the last of the stories that aren‘t in the tagged collection. ⤵️

My favorite Christmas movie. Do yourself a favor and track down the colorized version. It‘s so well done!

pickLet the holiday reading season commence! McLean is a Canadian National Treasure, and his story Dave Cooks the Turkey is a classic Vinyl Cafe listen. It also makes a delightful short read on a chilly December night.
If you've got the time, it really is worth listening to him tell the story, or can be found here: https://youtu.be/4VmMUM0HW6E?si=jpl-AEC1hSrbw2io
pickA sad but cosy bookish adventure.
I tend to dive blindly into any Christmas theme books this time of year (especially if they are free), and thus get a lot of misses.
But ever once in a while I stumbled onto something that just speaks to my heart, exactly like this little book did.

A little reminder to proiritise self care and do what you need to get through the holidays. They're not for everyone. X
