pickThis was pretty fun! 3 longtime friends head to the Scottish Highlands the week before Christmas, all being fed up with the pressure and stress of making the holiday perfect. But a blizzard comes through and they may not be able to get home for Christmas at all. Which maybe wouldn‘t be so bad?

pickI‘ve never seen the ballet, and so never really understood why the image of the nutcracker is so entwined with Christmas, but after seeing both E T A Hoffman‘s original and Alexandre Dumas‘ rewrite mentioned in a book earlier this month, I had a desire to read both versions! Not quite what I expected, and I‘m not entirely sure what Dumas was aiming for in his near-identical rewrite, but it‘s a sweet, magical story.

Got in a few more hours today for #20in4 #Readathon Still taking my reading slower than usual, especially considering a large concrete based snow globe fell onto the crown of my head Xmas night. Didn‘t help the brain issues much! Hopefully I‘ll finish this tomorrow 🤞 #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #YearEnd

This sounded interesting but I neither liked the main characters nor the story. It was #MoreMehThanYeah and definitely not what I've come to like about Caine's writing.
pickCharles Hatfield traveled the country in the early 1900s promising to make it rain, taking $1000s from farmers & others. When he promised San Diego to fill their reservoirs for $10k, a burst dam nearly destroyed the entire city. The city then balked at paying the sum, suggesting god did it.
🌦️ Pseudo science, scam, or “the butterfly effect” - in any case an entertaining novelistic piece of history!
