Shopping for a Turkey
Shopping for a Turkey | Julia Kent
6 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
I dont understand Americans. Or, as we say in Scotland, I dinna understand ye eedjits. And I definitely dinna understand the crazy mother-in-law of my cousin Declan. Who in their right mind names a wee dog Chuffy? Im stuck in New York after ma agent makes a bloody mess of an otherwise good endorsement contract for a sports towel company, and this crazy American holidayThanksgivingis in two days. The invitation to spend it in Mendon, Massachusetts, with the Jacoby family is about as appealing as rotten haggis. As far as I can tell, Thanksgiving is about stuffing yerself silly, watching pathetic American football, while fighting with relatives ye only see once a year. If I wanted that last one, Id head back to Scotland, where we dinna need a holiday to be salty to each other. Ma firm answer is nae. Until I remember Amy is part of the family. Suddenly, Im available. Eager, even. Perhaps shell pull ma wishbone. I hear thats part of the Turkey Day festivities, aye? What I canna admit, though, is how she pulls ma heartstrings, too. Which shouldna feel better than the wishbone, but it does. And here comes Amy's mother with another holiday tradition, this one a bit early. A sprig o mistletoe, dangling right above Amys bonnie head. - Shopping for a Turkey features Scottish football player Hamish McCormick and Amy Jacoby as they navigate unusual cultural norms, new traditions, and the undeniable attraction between these two characters, who have appeared as supporting players in Julia Kent's New York Times-bestselling Shopping series. It's their turn to have their own all-new spinoff series. And to pull the wishbone. ;)

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1) Yes/No - I've finished shopping, waiting for a few deliveries though (new scratch post for the cats, chocolate oranges [totally @TrishB's fault], and a few books for myself)

2) tagged, the whole Shopping series by Kent is 🌶️ #RomCom with an emphasis on hilarious

TheSpineView Happy Holidays!🎄🎁🎅 4mo

This was a cute little Thanksgiving read! A hot Scot football player stuck in the States over the holiday and an American MBA student clash while trying to deny their attraction. And it‘s pretty funny - I LOLed several times! The ending was very, very abrupt so you‘d move on to book 2, but I wish it hadn‘t been.

#bookspinbingo - this is my #bookspin for this month!

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView

1) we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. It's going to be just another Thursday in November. 😉

2) tagged - I'm sure it's not really embodying the spirit of Thanksgiving, but it's probably as close as I think a US Thanksgiving might look like 😜

Would you like to play, @The_Penniless_Author @RaeLovesToRead @toric?

TheSpineView Thanks for playing and happy Tuesday! 5mo

Happy Holiday to the Littens celebrating today!

Spin-off of the Shopping for a Billionaire series. First book/novella. Perfect read for today, BUT ends in a cliffhanger.

I think, JK managed to put everything that my European mind thinks Turkey Day is into this book.

I laughed so hard at times, my sides hurt.

PS: This was book 400 in 2021.

Accidentally clicked this book earlier. Wanted to finish an ARC but my sausage fingers (size, not grease amount) picked the next one in my kindle library.

Hilarious #RomCom - kid no.1 already put his head round the door three times to find out why I was LOLing and snorting my tea.

Andrew65 Sounds great 👏👏👏 2y
