pickSo I was a little annoyed that this book was more about two people working at a newspaper than about children being sold out of desperation in the 1930s. But after a bit I became so immersed in the story that it didn't matter anymore.

Long day watching the Grand, though we did have a blast at SkyZone (indoor trampoline park)! And I'm amazed at just how much the 5min knee exercises coupled with a daily 1.5 mile 100ft elevation walks have made difference in my leg strength and stamina; cause it certainly doesn't feel that way when I'm walking up that dreaded, fucking hill 😂
Book and relaxation time 😌
pick4⭐️ A heartwarming Christmas story. I particularly enjoyed the cameos of the late Queen and her husband (I had images of Claire Foy and Matt Smith in my head, whenever the Queen and the Prince were in scenes). #2025 #fiction #christmas #holiday #romance
pickI thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming Christmas themed book. Just an all round great read. Queen Elizabeth II has a cameo role as does Prince Philip. A lovely, gentle story.
pickThe perfect marriage of Christmas romance and historical fiction! I loved everything about this book and it is probably my new Christmas favorite!!
Thank you so much @BookmarkTavern 😍😍 I was hoping for this one!! Thank you for the chocolate and the cute bookmark! I just finished work so am going to sit down and enjoy these! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this lovely swap! 🎄💚❤️
A library book. My second Christmas themed read this year.
pickI savored this one. I enjoyed the peripheral story lines and how the characters intersected independently with the royal family. The will they/won't they stressed me out throughout. I am too impatient for that kind of thing, so I tend to power through so I can get to the best part.
