Repost for @Daisey

Both @JazzFeathers and I have been busy and not great readalong hosts so we‘re not starting any Tolkien new reads until next year. However, it‘s become a tradition for us to reread this book each December, and we‘d love to have you join us.

This is the same schedule as last year. Please comment on the original post if you‘d like to be added to the tag list for this book.

Daisey Thanks for sharing! 3d

This is the same schedule as last year. I‘m tagging my entire Tolkien list today, but please comment if you would like to be on my tag list for this specific book.

It is one of my favorite dishes that is very easy to make. My parents never made this, but I discovered this from a friend and made it for my family forever. #Foodandalit #Canada @Texreader @Catsandbooks
Cook chicken in water by boiling until done. Take off bones and put it back in the stock. Add carrots, 1 onion, potatoes, celery, and whatever vegetables you may want.Add salt, pepper, sage, cloves to taste. Cook until veggies are done. ⬇️

LiseWorks Add cornstarch to thicken, to make dumplings in a bowl, add flour, 1 egg, baking powder, and milk to make like a thick Pancake mix. It should fall off a spoon thickly not runny 6d
LiseWorks Add to chicken stew, put lid on and bring to boil for 10 minutes. The dumplings should rise and covet the stew. Serve. With pickles, picked beets and olives. 6d
Catsandbooks I love chicken and dumplings! ❤️ 6d
dabbe I'm on my way over!!! 🤩😂🤗 6d

Challenging at times without explanatory notes but interesting nonetheless especially with some of his letters for context.

Finishing this book makes me want to cry. It‘s like losing a friend.

Mehso-so

I don‘t like YA because the drama feels a bit melodramatic. And while Dellaria did dial it back some from her YA roots, her first novel didn‘t hit a natural pitch. Plus, there are more young orphans than a Disney movie!

Annie and Juliette are best friends growing up in LA. When they separate for college, Juliette meets Noah. Years later Noah is trying to make it in Hollywood with his girlfriend Jesse. Their four lives colliding = devastation. ⬇️

Megabooks This book wasn‘t in database, so I tagged one of her backlist titles. 2w
DogMomIrene Feel this! The melodrama of YA didn‘t bother me as much when I was teaching. But now that I‘m a few years away from daily contact with middle schoolers, I find some YA scenes a bit annoying. 2w
Megabooks @DogMomIrene yeah, it didn‘t bother me much until I got out of vet school. We all joked that vet school is like high school in that you‘re with the same people all the time and interpersonal drama is heightened. After I graduated, I slowly cut out the YA over a couple of years, and now it‘s just too melodramatic for me. Plus I really don‘t care for their romantic subplots. 2w
DogMomIrene @Megabooks Yes! The romantic subplots usually feel so forced. I‘ve read a few middle grade novels and those are usually quick and fun, but I think YA may be just for huge hits. Like if another The Hunger Games came along, I‘d read that. 2w
