I have no idea why I bought this. I remember buying it sometime in the 90s, but why 🤷🏻‍♀️

I started it this morning over coffee and am really enjoying it

Going for a second Bingo this month 📚

The reasoning offered in this book for the disappearance of Agatha Christie is as good as truth as far as I'm concerned.

1. Discovered some really effective exercises for the knee pain that recently developed

2. 16 days of adult hiking and activities with my daughter since the Grand will be with her dad for his holiday leave

3. Ordered tickets for the Cripple Creek Ice Castle

4. Moved living room furniture into a new all book access configuration

5. All holiday shopping is complete

Onto another Jul-Dec #BookSpinBingo read. I highly doubt, at this late date, I'll blackout the board, but you never know 🤷🏻‍♀️

And that's a bail! Some interesting stuff, but a lot of stuff so over my head that I was just reading words with no meaning.

But, yay, got a bingo! 😁

Current read for a bingo

Fun little read about learning that not everything has to be secret because you're fine just the way you are.

Did a little Christmas shopping, and now to start December's #DoubleSpin 📖

Wow! A lot to digest; but one of the most powerful coming of age stories I ever read.

Sat to start reading and found a nice little surprise inside 🤩🤩

Finished this over coffee this morning. The characters were not written like themselves. The story was ok, but it was very unstarwarsy.

I only scored 21/100 - I thought it would be higher 🤷🏻‍♀️

3 favorites:
🎅🏼 The Year without a Santa Claus
🥁 The Little Drummer Boy
⛓️ A Christmas Carol (with Alastair Sim)

Finally got all the Christmas #Decorations out of the crawl space so I can catch up on #ChristmasCheer

December #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin 😁

Starting Princess Leia this morning 📖

Interesting. A bit of a scary topic as it makes clear that we are woefully unprepared, at the present time, to deal with the results of expanding life expectancy.
