“The path I would rather take is the one that leads to life”
Starting late for the readalong and still on #Genji1
A funny thing happened, when I took my copy off the low bookshelf I discovered that one of my cats had actually “marked it” 😓 he was in a weird phase marking all over the place and sadly this was a casualty. Had to get a new copy as the other one is ruined.

Redwritinghood What is that you‘re eating? Looks good. 5y
Faibka @Redwritinghood it‘s a traditional bread eaten in Mexico only for this day to celebrate the three wise men that brought gifts to baby Jesus. That‘s why it‘s called “Rosca de Reyes” which roughly translates as Kings ring/wreath. Though I‘m not very religious it‘s a family tradition and the bread is delicious! (edited) 5y
Faibka @Redwritinghood I should add that I didn‘t bake it! Lol, I wish I knew how. 5y

Daisey Fascinated by this bread and love the photo! 5y
Faibka @Daisey and this is just a very small one, I‘m always amazed at the size of some of them for large families. My favorite are the ones with caramel filling 😋 5y
Lindy Too bad about your original copy of Genji. What a naughty cat! I‘m glad you got a new copy and some special bread as a treat. 😊 5y
Faibka @Lindy thank you! I‘m sad that I‘m very far behind but will do my best to catch up, it‘s such a fascinating read! 5y
Lindy @Faibka We are only on chapter 6 and a couple of the chapters are quite short. You can do it! 5y
Faibka @Lindy I‘m finding that it‘s impossible for me to do a chapter a day (during the work week I scarcely have half hour to read :( ) I‘m so far behind that I don‘t think I can catch up so I hope it‘s ok if I post late and comment on previous posts. I‘m loving the book but I‘m going to have to go on my own pace if that‘s ok :) 5y
