It‘s so cold here today, so it seems like the perfect time to finally start this one. Summer camp is warm, right?

Long Bright River
Rotating above the Earth in their spacecraft they are so together, and so alone, but even their thoughts, their internal mythologies, at times convene.

Hooray! I made it!
@Lesliereadsalot Thank you so much for this #jolabokaflodswap ! I haven‘t heard of this book, but I think I‘m going to like it. Thanks for the hot chocolate bombs and the chocolate W (I totally see it). Happy Holidays!
And thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for an awesome swap!
Just finished and this is now my favorite book and favorite audiobook of the year.
@MaleficentBookDragon mailed my swap earlier in the week, should arrive today.
Listening to this one while I start holiday baking. I feel like I‘m missing something, so I keep checking the book for the pictures.
I‘m continuing to read books from the bottom of my TBR and so, up next, one I don‘t even remember acquiring.
How cute is this blind date with a book display? The store includes bookmarks and stickers with each wrapped book. Adorable!
Time to find out what all the hype is about.
A sentient spider plant?!? Count me in!

“1. The criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone who thoughts the reader has been allowed to follow.”
Rule one of the commandments of detective fiction, which the author recommends the reader reference throughout the story.
Up next, based on the kooky character list on the back cover, I‘m going to like this one.
Perhaps he‘ll die this time.

Next up, a snarky murder mystery.
Current read - I thought this was the story of the Panama Canal, but it‘s really about the different types of people involved in the project.
Reading from the very bottom of my tbr pile. No idea how I even acquired this one.

It‘s overcast and chilly here, which is all the excuse I need to stay inside and start this one.
It‘s been a long time since I‘ve read Sanderson, so I‘m giving this stand alone one a try.
Back then, Beatrix liked to sit next to Mr. G when he rowed them all to the mainland.

Last chapter…..I‘m not going to cry, I‘m not going to cry, I‘m not going to….sniffle.
If Lucas is doing something, I have to be doing it, too, but better.

My plans for this rainy night.
I‘m a few chapters into this book and just realized the main character is based on a real person.
There was never any doubt in her mind, even after all these dust-streaked mortal years, that Dacre would one day come for her.

Finally starting this one.
The foot would not fit in my briefcase, so I wrapped it in cloth and wrestled it into an old knapsack I sometimes carry with me on expeditions.

No idea what I‘m getting into with this book, but I like the dedication.
Ugh, so close!! I‘m using the same goal in 2024.
I finally made it to the top of the library hold list for this one. 48 hours long and 21 day loan, eek!
Thank you @JessieKB !! I‘ve been eyeing this book for ages and I‘m so excited to have it. Time to ignore the holiday stuff to read and snack on chocolate. Thanks again and happy holidays!
@MaleficentBookDragon #jolabokaflod is the best swap!
@julieclair Thank you so much for this great #jolabokaflod package. The wrapping was beautiful! I‘m excited for this book and all the chocolates.
Happy holidays!
@MaleficentBookDragon thanks for a great swap.
Two #jolabokaflod packages headed to the post office!
@MaleficentBookDragon packages scheduled to arrive Tuesday
Listening to this one while running errands and this quiet book feels like the perfect counterpoint to all the holiday craziness.
