Finished this tbr read today. I recommended it to any one that loves magical realism. Her first book is also excellent. @Clwojick @StayCurious @Bookworm54 #wintergames #teamnutcracker

Ending the day with advent tea and hopefully at least one chapter of this book. I am loving the book and it is making me crave salads! The tea is a Candy Cane Crush. It is a black tea with white chocolate snowflakes and crushed up candy canes. Tests like a minty tea latte. @Clwojick @StayCurious @Bookworm54 #wintergames #teamnutcracker

Today‘s advent tea is Sweet Tart. It is a cherry fruit infusion tea. It does not need any doctoring. Starting this book today for book club. It has been on tbr forever so I am glad to have an excuse to read it. It has magical realism and I loved this authors first book. @Clwojick @StayCurious @Bookworm54 #wintergames #teamnutcracker

Bailing at 119 pages in. It‘s just not catching my interest. Too bad, because the premise was interesting.

Zelma I ended up hating this book after such a good premise. Good choice to bail. The ending made no sense and was just goofy. 6y
Laura317 @Zelma good to know! Letting this one go. 6y

Crewgurl @Madamereginald and @ErinSueG I didn‘t forget you guys! I just haven‘t had the opportunity to go to the post office. I swear it‘s only open when I‘m working!! 6y
Erinsuereads I‘m having the same problem!!! 6y
Madamereginald @Crewgurl haha! The story of my life! I even tried to go to The mailbox place a block from my work, but they wanted to charge me $33.00 for a small box. I know I can get the stuff in a “flat rate” box at the post office, so today I will suck it up and go...thank you for remembering me! :) 6y
Crewgurl @Madamereginald I know!!! It‘s like highway robbery!!! 6y

Picked these up today for $1 each at Dollar Tree. The World's Strongest Librarian made me think of @MrBook . Anyone see anything they've read before?

MrBook *blushes* ☺️😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y
MrBook I haven't read any of these 😳! You have some reviewing to do 😎👍🏻. 7y
Zelma The Night Garden is a cool premise but fell a bit short for me. Liked The World's Strongest Librarian. It's weird but interesting. And the audio is really good. 7y
ValerieAndBooks Nice haul! I was at my Dollar Tree the other day and only picked up one: 7y

Kind of a cute book. It's got some quirky characters and a little magic. Ultimately it's a love story. She can't be touched and he can't stay away. Love the description of all the gardens. 😃📚💐🌼🌻🌷🍄🌺🌸🌹🌿🌺🐐And there are goats. Can't forget the goats!!!!
