pickRead these to Jace just in time for #foodandlit and St. Patrick‘s Day. The tagged book was really funny, and the one about St. Patrick himself was very informative for a children‘s book. Thanks for the recommendations @TheBookHippie ! 🤗

so-soI've had this on my TBR for so long I had almost given up hope that I would get to read it, but the library had a copy!!!!
I liked the range of folk tales from around the world, although a lot are from Great Britain, overall it was a good mix of different countries which is nice to read but I only ended up enjoying a handful of tales.

Happy Gotcha Day to this beautiful girl! We adopted Boots January 31, 2011. She was a year and a half. Today she‘s 15. Hard to believe that much time has passed! She has chronic kidney disease now but is doing well overall. We love her so much ♥️ #CatsOfLitsy
bailedI‘m sorry. I just can‘t bring myself to read another sentence. A lot was promised, none of it was delivered.

Okay, so no part of this paragraph makes any sense. She has velvet in her ears? I tried looking up the original story… IT DOES NOT EXIST! Is she just making this up (poorly) as she goes? That certainly explains a lot.

@TheBookHippie you read this one, didn‘t you? What were your thoughts? I have officially gotten to the end of the intro and I am SO annoyed, I‘m not sure I want to continue… especially considering she‘s doing retellings instead of the original stories.
Wait, these are retellings? So she‘s using other cultures‘ stories from her own perspective? Gods help me. She is losing me FAST! Clearly she can‘t fathom that anyone would be welcoming the dark. Oh no. That‘s not her perspective so it doesn‘t exist here. 🙄

Does she know what the word dalliance means, because this sentence suggests that she either does NOT or has no respect for the field of anthropology. Neither looks good. Then again, she‘s starting paragraphs (and by extension sentences with the word “and,” so I may have to skip her horrible introduction all together.

I could never remember the actual holiday on December 25th, but I knew it wasn‘t Saturnalia. Sheldon Cooper is wrong more than he is right, I swear. It makes him even more insufferable when you know just how often he is wrong. If he‘s so smart, shouldn‘t he know he is wrong and, you know, NOT be wrong?
