Nine Perfect Strangers | Liane Moriarty

Pickpick

I binge watched this show last week & loved it. This is one of the rare instances where I prefer the show to the book. But the book was still enjoyable & I liked the ending. 9 strangers go to a health resort called Tranquillum House. The eccentric owner has some very interesting ideas about therapy & hallucinogenic drugs. It‘s a good character study but perhaps a bit too long. 4⭐️

Today while I worked in the kitchen, I listened to a few Sherlock Holmes stories and to chapter 36 of David Copperfield. I‘m worried things are going to go badly for him again.

I put up more pumpkin, which includes a good amount of frozen purée, treats/food for Luthien, pasta baked in a pumpkin, a jar of pickled pumpkin cubes, roasted seeds, and pumpkin sourdough rising.

mabell Wow! How resourceful! And it all sounds great! (Not sure about the pickled pumpkin - I don‘t think that would be my thing 😆) 1d
Daisey @mabell To be honest, I‘m not sure about the pickled pumpkin either. I had lots this year, found the recipe, and was intrigued, so I decided to try it. They have to set for a while, so don‘t know yet, but I thought they would be a fun experiment for Thanksgiving. (edited) 1d
Lesliereadsalot The pasta in the pumpkin is so original! 16h
mabell @Daisey I‘m always in favor of a food experiment 😄 You‘ll have to report back with how they turned out! 15h
Daisey @Lesliereadsalot There were several recipes with rice, but the mac & cheese one caught my attention. This is more of an alfredo sauce, but it turned out delicious. 7h

I think it's really cool that Michael Crichton started this book before his death and that James Patterson was able to come in afterwards to pick up and complete the story. Was it my favorite book? No, it wasn't. But I enjoyed the #audiobook reading experience all the same.

Elinor tilted her head. “On the other hand, I think you might have good humor and intelligence to spare, my dear Merida.”
Merida met her mother‘s gaze. And her smile widened.

I turn to look into my brother‘s eyes. For a long moment, all we can do is take in each other‘s faces.
“Look at you, little sister,” Darin finally whispers. His smile is the sun rising after the longest, darkest night. “Look at you.”

A Kilt for Christmas | Tricia O'Malley

#audiobook contemporary #Romance with a generous dash of magical realism: Ghost Coos, Brownies, Kelpies,...

West takes a break from his teaching job in sunny California and visits a small Scottish town at Christmas time. He soon falls for bookish and competitive Maisie, who might be up for a fling, because nothing longterm can happen between them.

Some 🌶️, lots of magic, the usual small town🎄tropes (snow, gingerbread houses, 🎄sweaters,...)

There will be so much more in between. So much uncertainty. I don‘t know if we‘ll survive the catacombs, let alone the rest of it.
But it doesn‘t matter. For now, these steps are enough. These first few precious steps into darkness. Into the unknown.
Into freedom.

There‘s no point in dwelling on the past, but you acknowledge it and try to make things better. Or try a new way, and know that this time will be different.
