Thank you, thank you, thank you @Yuki_Onna for all the chocolate and book - Lindt is my favourite and the nuts sound amazing. The book looks right up my alley too - I'm glad I stacked it 🤣😉

pickThanks @Bookwormjillk for putting this on my radar! It was a fun audiobook, a bit more like Clueless than the original Emma but I finished and was sad I wouldn't be hanging out with them anymore.
Not a book for you if you are known to scream "just talk to each other" ?
This is a series and I am going to keep going with it! Next up P&P with Elizabeth of East Hampton
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

pickLoved it, as expected. A delightful Snow White rewrite where Snow is an ancillary character to an adult lady poison expert. Light romance, creepy mirror world, on-its-head fairytale retelling? Yes, please. And I stand by my comp to Robin McKinley for this book, too.
pickI am familiar with the Wicked musical and movies as well as the first Wizard of Oz book. I knew going into the book that it was going to be different from all of those.
I have to say I was surprised by how much I ended up liking this one!

Sourdough toast & coffee this morning with Grendel. 🙃 Based on the opening I‘m hopeful this backstory will have more nuance than Beowulf.
Sunrise, but no sun.
The merchant ship Marie tied up at the Liverpool docks hours ago, beneath an overcast sufficient to obliterate the moon and the stars—and now that dawn has arrived conditions have not improved.

The book it‘s based on is not a Litten favorite, but I‘m a sucker for a holiday P&P adaptation by Hallmark featuring Lacey Chabert. 🌲🌲🌲
