Pickpick

A soft pick because there were a few points that I found moved really slowly and I found that I needed really long chunks of time, it wasn‘t the kind of book I could listen to just 20-30 minutes at a time. But aside from that, i enjoyed immersing myself into the story, I found it very interesting and I wanted to know how things turned out in the end - which I ended up very satisfied with.

janeycanuck @Ruthiella it was pretty fun to do but so weird to not be able to do the edges first! 14mo

We had a tonne of fun with our Blind Date book exchange at our December #GirlyBookClub a few weeks ago. The instructions? Bring a wrapped book and add a short, spoiler-free hint. Then, we did a white elephant, keeping the books wrapped until the very end. So much fun with some great titles unwrapped at the end. I came home with the tagged book - the clue was “East meets West and a confusing cup of tea.” So intriguing!!

Yesterday was International Tea Day but for me it was Star Wars Day. I celebrated today with an iced chocolate chipotle chai. #tea #Quotsy #QuotsyDec17 #LitsyQuoteChallenge

Godmotherx5 Was it good? How can I make that? 6y
jpmcwisemorgan @TricksyTails If I had that power I absolutely would. Unfortunately, my only super power allows me to read #dinoporn. @Godmotherx5 I‘m not sure. I guess maybe make a chai that you like and add in chipotle powder and cocoa (if chipotle powder exists)??? 6y
TricksyTails 😂😂😂 6y
jpmcwisemorgan @Godmotherx5 The Steeping Room might sell it too but I don‘t know if it‘s available online. I found the other one courtesy of Google. 6y
