The only cookie I‘m not a fan of is one with raisins. Favorites are molasses, peanut butter blossoms and oatmeal chocolate chip.

I think this was the right book for the right time. A fast romp of a read that I had put off due to all the hype. Next up Rock Paper Scissors which will likely be my last of this list and the final prompt for 52 Bookclub.

Meet Merry Pippin. We have been fostering to adopt Pippin while he was in a splint to heal a broken leg. Today his splint was removed and his adoption finalized. I got my Christmas wish. ❤️🎄❤️
Having a super tired puppy gave me time to prepare my pages for 2025 Roll 100 list using @PuddleJumper ‘s template. I have 89 unread BOTM selections on my shelf and the remaining 11 will be filled with 2025 selections.
Tomorrow is Pippin‘s appointment. We are hoping to get good news of a healed leg, no more splint and finalizing his adoption. 🤞🏼

#5JoysFriday This week has been a bundle os sleepless nights with a topping of worry but also some joyful moments.
1) Wicked with a friend in our locally owned small theater.
2) Historic holiday home tour with a fiend and no rain while we walked
3) Wintergames is giving me something to do when I‘m exhausted but must stay awake
4) Xmas shopping is done and half of it is wrapped
5) Pippin! He wears me out but he is what my heart needed
Thanks for the tag @Yuki_Onna and the fun This or That. Go to her feed for a blank slate to play along.

This was a weird list to me with a bunch of the same songs sung by different artists. I listen to a ton of Christmas music every year and trying to remember if I‘ve heard Frank or Dean sing Let it Snow escapes me. Likely both but who knows for sure.
Favorites are all TSO, Nate King Cole and The Carpenters.

This remains my favorite Christmas song from first seeing on tv in 1977.
@TieDyeDude
pickSingle parent Harriet is facing her first Christmas without her daughter and not handling it well. She is overworked and under appreciated but it doesn‘t stop her from giving her all to the students in her care. A one night stand blossoms into more than she bargained for ultimately changing her world in a multitude of ways. I real loved this story,so many wonderful characters.
#netgalley
pickI think I would have benefited from reading the first book in the series before reading this one. There was a lot going on and I wasn‘t always grounded in who was who. That being said I enjoyed the mystery and the setting of late 19th century NYC.
