1. Casey got an adorable haircut. He‘s no longer at risk of heat stroke in the middle of winter from the shear wealth of hair on his body!

2. I started SISTER SNAKE tonight and I immediately feel all OMG about it. Is this the book I‘ve been waiting for? I sure hope so.

TheBookHippie Such a cutie! Enjoy your read. 2w
Texreader He‘s so adorable! Nice haircut!! 2w

dabbe @xicanti My buff cocker Caramel felt the same way. She LOVED when the hair between her toe pads was trimmed! 🤩 2w
xicanti @dabbe toes trims are the best! Casey‘s feet become little mops when they‘re fuzzy. It makes life awkward for him. (edited) 2w
dabbe @xicanti #truth! Their fur is so beautiful and silky, but man, can it grow! 🤩 2w

I liked this book. It told a different story about WWII that I didn't know about. The people in this book were great. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

This week‘s library haul. I‘m taking next month off from American writers and artists (something I usually do in February but couldn‘t swing this year due to some ARCs and imminent library holds), and while I‘ve got a couple more American-authored titles in the pipeline for next week, my holds list already reflects Murica-Free March‘s mandate. Today I picked up stuff from Canada, Japan, and Singapore. #MFMarch

TheKidUpstairs I'm interested to see your review of Girl Runner. I was intrigued by it on the Canada Reads long list. 4w

xicanti @TheKidUpstairs I think I kept all the longlist titles on my holds list. Chances are I‘ll wish at least one of them made it to the shortlist in place of something that did. 4w

Absolutely blown away by how much I loved this book. A fantastic tale of two sisters with a long and complex history. There is so much love between them despite their differences.

Cortg Is this your noodle? Too cute! 2mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I loved this one and the movie 🎥 I still need to read the others in the series! 2mo
TheBookgeekFrau @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks The other books were just as entertaining! I thought the movie was ok, I feel like a lot of the humor was lost since it was in the footnotes 2mo

My favourite read in Novembers for #12Booksof2024 was this latest book by Heather Morris.

This tells the story of women taken prisoner by the Japanese in World War II and the horrific time they had in the far East Prison camps. This one has all the feels and think I even prefer it to the her European prison camp books.

Also a notable mention for The Templar Secret by Scott Mariani, the last book in one of my favourite all time series - Ben Hope.

4/4⭐️

A nice ending to a delightfully escapist reading series.

They were screening an English film, and she wasn't entirely able to follow the plot, but at least there wasn't much talking. A pretty woman with yellow hair seemed unhappy, despite apparently having lots of money, maybe because she kept getting attacked by birds. Siew Li wasn't sure what she'd done to make the birds angry, but maybe there wasn't a reason, who knows how bird brains work...

She saw them from her window, swarming out of two cars parked just downstairs. All those men coming to get a schoolgirl, she thought, unless there's someone else in this block. But no, they were all hers. They seemed in no hurry, going through all her possessions, writing down the titles of books. "Read so much for what? Will Marx help you find a husband?" jeered one of them....
