Mehso-so

Well… that was something. I have no idea how it landed on my book shelf (but a receipt tucked inside showed that I bought it in 2015).
Definitely felt like a product of its time (the 90s) and maybe had I read it 20 years ago I‘d have been more into it.
It was just ‘meh‘ for me BUT I do get where he was going which …

Didn't get anywhere the predicted amounts, right here at least #iykyk

Shoveling done and onto coffee and book time ☺️☕️📖

dabbe It's still so beautiful--even though you had to do some hard work. 🩶🤍🖤 2w
marleed You are lucky - we got the high-end predicted. It‘s pretty but maybe a bit too cute for all the danger it‘s brought to the roads. 2w
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe It's like a powdered sugar coating on the world 😊 Luckily, it was cold enough that the snow wasn't wet and heavy so the work was easy compared to other times! 2w

TheBookgeekFrau @marleed Yeah, I've seen some horror stories on the news about travel 😔 Hopefully you get to stay home with a good book🙏🏼 2w
DogMomIrene You are a very neat shoveler! 1w
TheBookgeekFrau @DogMomIrene 😂 Thank you! I've been conditioned by 33 years of marriage to a snow freak who is particular in the ways of snow shoveling 🤣🤣 Plus, there wasn't a whole lot so it made it easy to be neat! 1w
DogMomIrene @TheBookgeekFrau 😂😂😂 I‘m living with snow again after years in Arizona, so I‘ve been honing my technique. Snow that‘s not too wet is definitely my preference. But it‘s still a good workout! 1w
TheBookgeekFrau @DogMomIrene The technique for early winter is to remove the snow far away from the driveway leaving room for future piles. And as much as I want to roll my eyes at my husband, I have to admit he's right 😂 1w
DogMomIrene @TheBookgeekFrau Oh wow! You definitely get more snow than we do if you‘re having to plan that far in advance. I totally see how that removal style would be necessary, even if a pain in the early winter. 1w
TheBookgeekFrau @DogMomIrene Nah, we don't get a lot. It's just his one fuss-pot area as compared to my dozen so I can indulge him 🤣 1w

AllDebooks I just got triggered by reading reposed in the intro! Too much of that in Udolpho 3w
mcctrish I have to say I share Laura‘s decor style, every summer I decorated the inside of outhouse at the cottage with pictures from magazines my aunt got from her friend who worked for Air Canada. Every summer had a theme- once it was food, once flowers, once each wall a different colour. The pig running away mid kill made me laugh out loud 3w
rubyslippersreads @mcctrish I‘m glad I‘m not the only one. 3w
Bklover I was feeling quite lazy and spoiled as I ate my caramel/cheese popcorn mix while reading about the children sucking on pigs toes. Raw pigs toes. 🤨 3w
Bookwormjillk @Bklover caramel and cheese is the best popcorn mix 3w
Bklover @Bookwormjillk Yes it is! I made myself half sick by eating waaay too much of it! 3w
mcctrish @Bklover I laughed out loud even louder at your comment 3w
Bklover @mcctrish ❤️😉 3w
dabbe And they're all nice to the pigs and love them and pet them and then slaughter them! #wtf? #charlotteswebtrigger There may be no crying so far in this one, but I was crying! Ooh, look, bacon! #twisted 3w
JacqMac I read this in my bed when I couldn‘t sleep. And now I‘m so hungry. lol 3w
Cuilin @dabbe 😢 for 🐖 3w
julieclair I love how they all seem happy, despite not being wealthy. And the pigs definitely have a great life… until they don‘t. 🐷😱😢 3w

rubyslippersreads Catching up. I have to say, putting pictures of politicians in the “little house” is quite appropriate. 🤣 2w
rubyslippersreads @Bklover The “shoes” were revolting. 🤢 2w

#10 in the Chief Inspector Gamache series had me laughing like the others but also crying hard. Crying hard over a duck at that (#iykyk)! The main plot would have seemed inconceivable to me 10 years ago. However,after seeing blatant corruption in the highest levels of our government embraced in the real world, it feels sadly plausible. Another great read by Penny—entertainment with heart that makes you think. 👩‍🍳💋

Celebrating #FoodandLit #Canada month with a chip truck poutine. I mean, really, any excuse for a chip truck poutine is a good one. #iykyk

Tagging my last excellent #CanLit read if anyone is looking for recommendations!

Traci1 Omg I love poutine. Used to live in Vermont about a mile from the Canadian border, and I can honestly say the only thing I miss about the 4 years we lived there is the poutine. 2mo
BarbaraBB I have the book stacked already. Probably you‘re responsible for that! 2mo
rabbitprincess That looks like a good poutine 😋 2mo

⭐️⭐️ Forced proximity werewolf - vampire romance. Paranormal stuff is FAR out of my wheelhouse, but I‘ve enjoyed Hazelwood‘s #steminist rom-coms, so decided to give this a try. I don‘t know, y‘all. I was pretty okay until the knot. #iykyk.

ravenlee I‘ve been reading AH‘s backlist over the past few months, but I‘ve had zero interest in this one. Paranormal romance and urban fantasy are usually my jam, but…something about this just doesn‘t appeal. 7mo
britt_brooke @ravenlee Good call skipping! 7mo
bookishbitch Yeah, that knot stuff was wild! I loved her snark though. 7mo
britt_brooke @bookishbitch Agree! 😂 7mo
