I finished Recipe for Persuasion tonight. Hopefully I’ll be able to post a review tomorrow, but it’s pretty late for me so I’m not sure. Now I’m moving on to A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Murder by Dianne Freeman. It’s possibly one of the worst books covers I’ve see all year. The blurb sounds like an Agatha Christie novel with a dash of regency romance. We’ll see.
The first batch of my new hold requests came in. Thankfully I’d read two of my last pickup. I’ll be honest, I don’t remember why I picked any of these books lol
Oh well, I’ll need to work these books into my holiday schedule of Christmas movies, baking, and holiday lego sets.
Despite all that’s going on in the world I have a few things that I’m thankful for. The obvious and basically required one to mention is my family. There are no other people I’d like to be locked up with for months on end while I slowly slip further into insanity. They’re the best.
Entertainment wise this year has brought me one of my favorite games of all time. Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I’ve spent over 450 hours playing and there is still so much I want to do. The turkey day celebration today has been wonderful, and I highly recommend.
Bill and Ted Face the Music also came out this year. While it won’t be making an all time favorite list, it is a movie that has brought me a lot of comfort and joy this year, and I am thankful for that.
Book wise I have a lot to be thankful for as well. Old favorites as well as new ones. It can not be over stated how therapeutic being able to escape into beautiful worlds where all the problems are solved in the end has been.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving I went to the library today. They’ve changed how things are done so I no longer have a set library day.
I finished reading Crazy Stupid Bromance and posted my review earlier. Out of the three books I checked out I’m most excited about Tools of Engagement by Tessa Bailey. I liked the previous two books in the series so I’ve got high hopes for this one.
Surprising no one, I went on a library hold spree last night and requested about twenty books. I tried to be picky with what I picked in the hopes that I don’t slow down when they all inevitably come in at the same time. Hopefully, that works.
I’m about sixty plus books behind on books that came out this year that I’d like to read. Which means my best of 2020 book list is not going to come out on time. Which is fine. No movies came out this year and I’ve basically only played one game this year so those lists will be easy.
Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🥧
I finished reading Mistletoe and Mr. Right by Sarah Morgenthaler, my review should be up by tomorrow. Now I’m reading A Rogue of One’s Own by Evie Dunmore.
My recent DNF books have put me in a much more comfortable position, library book wise. I’m lagging behind with my parenting books, but fiction wise I’m golden. In fact I took some time to look at my 2020 To Read list and I have fallen hopelessly behind. In June I was keeping up pretty well, but everything I want to read came out since then apparently. 😩
I’m going to end up getting click happy at the library again and find myself back in the same position. Some lessons I’m never going to learn.
