Inversion of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner?
How delightfully creepy.

Some pop culture centered around New Year's. Loved this '72 version. I thought Gene Hackman was hot. 🤣
Champagne hits the deck;
New Year's cheers drown as lights die–
Time to climb the tree.

My oldest will be glad to know I'm finally starting this.

#doublespin famous five is a perfect Boxing Day read but this one wasn‘t quite as good as the others. The boys were really mean to George (and Cecil, who didn‘t really seem to do anything wrong!), and a bit too much focus on Anne playing housewife.

A very Happy Christmas to my Litsy family! 💕📚🎄 I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, filled with joy, love, and BOOKS! 🥰

Ranks among my favourite book dedications. ☺️

Though a little slow paced in the first half, and a bit heavy handed with the messaging at times, I still really enjoyed this second book in the series. This features a wonderful cast of characters that is expanded in this book. I can‘t wait to see where they will adventure to next! 4.5⭐️
#doublespin done!

I taught middle school from 1994-2005, so my choices skew towards books between the 1970s -1990s). Three favorites that don't incorporate a holiday per se but definitely encompass winter:
•The tagged: DOGSONG: my favorite by Gary Paulsen.
•HATCHET: Also by Gary Paulsen. Love and miss that man.
•JULIE OF THE WOLVES: By Jean Craighead George. We must have a woman hero for “Pete“'s sake! 😀

Life has cut back on my reading time. Finally getting to the second book of this series I promised my oldest I would read.
