I was inspired by @JenlovesJT47 to dust these off for a read. 🔖book is an all time fave🎥! I‘m also a big kid when it comes to the Chipmunks😝so that was a no 🧠er.

Perhaps his absence is a sign of hope. If there is mercy in the world, Captain Harry Balfour of the West Africa Squadron will spy this ship tossing upon whatever sea she sails and board her, set her captives free, right every wrong. It is not too much to ask. It is far too much to ask. It is not.

This was an okay read. It was interesting to read about Marley from A Christmas Story. Overall an okay book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jacob Marley, business partner to Ebenezer Scrooge, is very much alive: a rapacious and cunning boy who grows up to be a forger, a scoundrel, and the man who will be both the making and the undoing of Scrooge.

More villain origin story than a retelling. This was marvelous and the writing wonderfully Dickensian. We meet a nasty Marley, and a kind Scrooge as schoolboys and observe how Marley‘s influence pollutes Scrooge. You could continue straight to a Christmas Carol, and the transition would be seamless.

My all-time favorite Christmas movie! I've watched it just about every year since it came out when I was 3 years old. #WinterGames #CandyCaneCrushers

It didn‘t take me long to get into this imagined backstory of Jacob Marley, whose ghost visits Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens‘ classic, A Christmas Carol, and to find myself fully invested in the development of the relationship of these two men. A clever and illuminating revelation as to the many reasons why Marley was doomed, as well as an elaboration on the love story between young Scrooge and Belle—and more! Recommended!

Settling down to start Marley with a cup of tea! Will the author enhance my devotion to Dickens‘ A Christmas Carol with this book? Or will I toss this into the trash, vowing not to fall again for a retelling of a beloved story from another character‘s perspective?
