A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens
post image

#DecDays #YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch #christmascarolbuddyread #ChristmasCarolReread I'm using my #CratchitCatchup night to watch another version of A Christmas Carol, the 1984 George C. Scott version. Since Mr. Scrooge and Mr. Grinch both start out as mean curmudgeons who change at Christmas, I think Scrooge and A Christmas Carol work well for today's musical prompt. ??Happy Christmas Eve-Eve and as Tiny Tim would say, "God bless us every one! "?❤️

Cinfhen Right back at ya❤️💚❤️awesome collage❣️❣️❣️ 7y
Zelma Best movie ever! 👍 7y

DebinHawaii @cinfhen Thank you! 💚❤️ @Zelma @GypsyKat @Redwritinghood I usually pick the 1938 as my favorite for sentimental reasons but this one may replace it. I forgot how good it was. 👍👍 @UwannaPublishme I'm sorry you missed the buddy read! It was fun to revisit a classic. 🎄📚❤️ @JenReadsAlot Thank you! A very Merry Christmas back to you & Cosmo 🐱from Max & me! 😽🎄 (edited) 7y

Mehso-so

I just finished this ARC about a woman, Piper, who is struggling with her autistic son and is left nursing her mean old father back to health after a near-fatal heart attack. Piper‘s son and father start to form a bond that Piper herself never had with her father. I really wanted to like this one but the chapters written from the son and father‘s perspectives didn‘t feel authentic.

laurieluna Ah Frankie Boyle. He's a very marmite comedian. Definitely needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, and not for the easily offended...🙊 7y
DeborahSmall @arlenefinnigan @Cinfhen I‘d say he is the UKs, not just Scotland‘s, most controversial comedian. I personally find him hilarious. Anyone offended easily will hate him 7y
batsy I'm not familiar with him but that title is way too true 😭 7y

Sweetland | Michael Crummey
post image

#youreameanonemrgrinch I seem to be drawn to ‘grumpy old man fiction‘recently!
Moses Sweetland is laugh-out-loud funny, with his cussing and sarcasm, yet the story is unbearably sad at times. With compulsory re-location in place, and Moses the only hold out, its a story of unusual friendships, what family means, the importance of home and of one man's loneliness. Gorgeous prose capture the quirky islanders and their lives in this beautiful place.

Cinfhen Stacked!!!! 7y

Just finished decorating the tree at my mom‘s. There is no mean, old Mr. Grinch here, but a lot of cleaning and cooking 🎄🎄

Kalalalatja @erzascarletbookgasm thank you! It is surrounded by fields and feels very isolated and lovely. I love spending time here ☺️ 7y
julesG Thanks! I love the Danish flags on the tree, love your sense of nationalism. No sensible German would put German flags on their tree. 😉 7y
Texreader Lovely! 7y
Kalalalatja @julesG haha I don‘t think we do it out of nationalism, but Danish flags are used for all kinds of celebrations, so it is more because of traditions 😄 7y
julesG Well then traditionalism. Whatever. You are proud to show being Danish. A lot of us Germans would rather crawl under the carpet than admit our nationality. Anyway - I love seeing the flags everywhere when I get to your country. I hope I can muster the strength to drive up there next year; not to mention having the funds. 7y
Cinfhen I love your mom's space!!!! It's so crisp & elegant 💟💟💟beautiful 7y
Kalalalatja @julesG I can imagine. And I hope you can find your way up here again 🤞 @cinfhen I will be dure to let her know, she loves when her home is complimented 😄 7y

Norwegian by Night | Derek Miller

#DecDays #YoureAMeanOneMrGrinch Upon first glance both Sheldon & Ove, may seem like two grumpy, crotchety,ill-tempered old men😡 but really the opposite is true!!!! These stories are filled with humor, heart and insightfulness about how we often view our elders and the quick judgements we sometimes make. Highly recommend both books!

JaclynW Exactly! I ❤ Ove! (I haven't read the tagged book yet.) 7y
Cinfhen It‘s quirky, but full of heart ❤️ I really liked it @JaclynW Happy Holidays to you 💕💕 7y
TrishB Not heard of Norwegian Night 👍🏻I‘m in a minority with Ove though so maybe not for me! 7y
