Marley: A Novel | Jon Clinch

Perhaps his absence is a sign of hope. If there is mercy in the world, Captain Harry Balfour of the West Africa Squadron will spy this ship tossing upon whatever sea she sails and board her, set her captives free, right every wrong. It is not too much to ask. It is far too much to ask. It is not.

The Christmas Ghost | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

#SweetValleyTwinsSuperChiller books were always my favorites! In this second #SweetValleyChristmas for the 6th graders, Elizabeth works for a fundraiser for the children‘s wing of the hospital & asks teen Hollywood star Beau Dillon for help but Jessica plans to meet him instead, leading to a re-imagining of #AChristmasCarol as Jessica is visited by her 2nd grade self, a unicorn of the present & a scary future without friends (but still fashion)!

JenlovesJT47 Man I haven‘t read this one in so long! 👵🏻👵🏻👵🏻 Do you have a list of the SVT books in publication order? 2mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 This was one of my favorites, for sure! I don‘t have an official list but I have been trying my best to read each series in publication order just based on the published dates— usually they come out one a month, so if the next number skipped a month, I start looking at the supers to see which one is from that missing month! 2mo

He had no further intercourse with Spirits, but lived upon the Total Abstinence Principle, ever afterwards; and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!

Jacob Marley, business partner to Ebenezer Scrooge, is very much alive: a rapacious and cunning boy who grows up to be a forger, a scoundrel, and the man who will be both the making and the undoing of Scrooge.

More villain origin story than a retelling. This was marvelous and the writing wonderfully Dickensian. We meet a nasty Marley, and a kind Scrooge as schoolboys and observe how Marley‘s influence pollutes Scrooge. You could continue straight to a Christmas Carol, and the transition would be seamless.

Here‘s my review for this book I didn‘t finish. This is also a #TeamBuddyRead but I‘m not going to count it towards the #wintergames and I‘m not going to do the #wordsearch on it.
