Not my usual Christmas fluff that I read this time of year but a wonderful historical fiction novel with a Christmas backdrop. Written in epistolary form, this story will have you cheering for the characters and reaching for the tissues!

Well I know what I want to read for #FoodandLit #Netherlands: the French translation of the tagged book. There was an article about the 2 female authors here: https://www.liberation.fr/culture/livres/elisabeth-wolff-et-agatha-deken-quatre-...
But it looks like the book's OCR isn't ready so I'd have to read the PDF of the 1787 print, and I'm not sure I'm ready for this😅

Driveway and sidewalks are shoveled and it is now time to warm up with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book!

BookmarkTavern Looks like the perfect reward for getting that done! 4d

A hard to interpret picture but I have 12 Bingo boards in play for December and only one Bingo among them all (and of course it‘s on my BooksSpinBingo that‘s not in the picture) for ease of tracking I typed out all the boards and just use colors related to the book cover.

I‘ve been reading the images of Tolkien‘s handwritten letters alongside the printed text, and several times have discovered that the printed text makes minor changes or omits parts of the original letters! In today‘s letter, there‘s a whole paragraph about Priscilla‘s “Bingos” that is missing from the printed text. So interesting to see the editorial decisions! #TolkienChristmas #FellowshipofTolkien

TheAromaofBooks I noticed this last year! It seemed odd to me to omit what felt like random paragraphs/sentences. 5d
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks All I can think is that the editors were trying to make the “story“ parts tighter by omitting the specifics about which gifts Father Christmas was bringing. I've noticed they also sometimes omit the references to things the children had written in their letters, which aren't included (I'd actually love to read those, though!) 5d
Daisey I haven‘t analyzed these carefully, but I have wondered about editorial choices. Focusing on the story aspects does make sense. Thanks for sharing. 4d
AvidReader25 I‘ve been reading these with my girls and they are so delightful! 1d
