Legends & Lattes: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes | Travis Baldree

I forgot to post this yesterday 🤪, but there‘s just no way I can pick one favorite book from last year! I picked this book as a standout because it was a total #blameitonlitsy read (I‘m not much of a fantasy kinda girl) and I ended up loving it. Going outside my comfort zone paid off in this case!

A fun, light, easy read. It took about a chapter to get into but then I rolled right along in the world. Very wholesome and kind. A wonderful choice from my kind benefactor of the #Christmas #holiday book exchange I did last year. Thank you!!

Bookwormjillk Hello! I just got back from dropping off my son on this snowy Saturday morning. Roads were actually in good shape which was unexpected for this city. My week was fine- work and weather added stress but nothing like others are dealing with. I‘m reading and loving

Mina's Matchbox

AllDebooks It's so cold here in the UK. I'm staying indoors to avoid an asthma flareup. The upside is how pretty the hoar frost looked this morning. I've just started #NaturaLitsy buddyread ❄️💙❄️

What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World�s Ocean

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk It's so strange getting back into normal routines. Glad you had a safe journey. I hate driving in snow and ice. I have MM on Kindle. I'll have to bump it up the tbr pile. 6d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Work has been hectic this week, but it's a good hectic. I'm a Sales Director for 13 hotels, so it is great that they have new accounts for me to prospect & set up on the dead of winter. I did have to wear two pairs of pants most of the week due to the below freezing temps. Not much physical reading was done, but I'm nearly finished with the tagged on audio. I haven't read it since I was a kid, so it's been good to revisit. I forgot most of it.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

TheBookHippie Snow dumped over night lake effect snow and dropping temps for the 10 day forecast… so winter is here. Exams are next week and every year we get snow days in this week messes with teachers and students, we‘ve asked to do it before holidays to no avail… Mr BookHippie came home from work yesterday sick so avoid him! My son got into Honors College at the university he was early admission to, so exciting. I read the new Danielle Steel last night⬇️ 6d

TheBookHippie No way my grandma would have ever dreamed she‘d still be writing or putting out so many books. This one was like a piece of candy. 😂 I miss gossiping about the characters with her! Book 216 read ✔️ reading this today & Happy Saturday!

The Rose Hotel: A Memoir of Secrets, Loss, and Love From Iran to America

TheBookHippie Daughter is doing well and even driving! ♥️ 6d

Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie great news about son & daughter. My son‘s school moved finals before break for that reason! Overall it‘s a good idea but due to scheduling and a storm right after break he ended up not having classes for almost a month and that will be a rude awakening this week 😂 6d

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks I ended up finishing. I loved it. Stay warm! 6d

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 😂 yah the reentry is rough!!! 6d

AllDebooks @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Wow, 12 hotels is a handful. They should keep you busy and out of trouble! I haven't read Anne Frank since my teens. Way, way back in the last century. 6d

DebinHawaii Spending my Saturday morning at the coffee shop before running errands—so nothing unusual. It was a long work week. 😬 Trying to turn it off for the weekend & do some self-care. 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Congratulations to your son, well done. 👏 I'm so glad your daughter is on the mend and getting about now. I haven't read any Danielle Steel since my teens. I used to gossip with my gran too. They were her books! I miss that so much. 🥹 I had no idea she was still publishing. 6d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk Yikes, he's gonna be in for a shock after a whole month free of classes. 6d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks FOUR BOOKS A YEAR. 🤯🫠🤣 6d

AllDebooks @DebinHawaii I love that you are concentraring on yourself after a busy week. A bit of pampering never goes amiss. X 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie wait, what!!! I didn't even know she was still with us. She's taking over from Barbara Cartland. 👵✒️📚📚📚 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Idk why, but I thought she was a lot older. 🤔 6d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks she‘s 77. 6d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I‘ve read every single one 😅😆 with my grandma until 2009 she died at 98. I‘ve been reading them in her honor since. 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie ❤️🥹❤️ 6d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @AllDebooks 12 hotels does keep me busy, but out of trouble? 🙄 Let's say sometimes! 🤣 My guy is going out with his buddies for some late evening pickleball, so I'm excited to have some reading time later. 🕯☕️🐶🛋📚 @TheBookHippie That's great news about both of your children! Perhaps I should pick up a Danielle Steel book for both #192025 and the #52Books challenge. One prompt is for an author who publishes more than 1 book a year. 6d

TheBookHippie @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick PURE SACCHARINE! You can read it in about an hour or two 😂💕 6d

kspenmoll Answering late here- my anthem for the week! I rested & read-too cold for a walk. My first 5 day work week in a month haha none of us are used to it! So spoiled! 5d

Bookwormjillk Happy #Chatterday Holidays were okay- two weeks of guests made for a lot of work. I wisely took the 2nd and the 3rd off for recovery. A day of errands and prep today and then a mini road trip for my daughter‘s tournament tomorrow. Also my son gets his license so tomorrow so he‘ll be driving us there! 2w

Sace My holidays were nice and low key. Thanksgiving is the big holiday for us. I‘ve been doing pretty well with the shorter days and my mood has been good. I‘m currently reading several books for Litsy challenges and buddy reads, but I‘ve managed to squeeze in a binge watch of The Night Agent on Netflix. It‘s really good! 2w

Cupcake12 Christmas seems ages away! I‘m working 4 days in a row from today and the forecast for snow is 30cm tonight ❄️ 2w

TheBookHippie Finally snow and a bit of sun. I‘ve seen the sun maybe 3 times since December 🤯 not a fan. Hanukkah and New Years collided and the holidays ended so at last it‘s calm. Taking grandson round the corner today to our favorite thrift store, otherwise it‘s reading and warm beverages! The Six Triple Eight on Netflix is amazing. Daughter is still slow and sore but improves daily. (edited) 2w

dabbe Warm and sunny here. #surprisesurprise Chores today and hopefully lots of reading. I chose too many wonderful buddy reads to be a part of, and I'm truly going to try and keep up. 🤪 2w

Cuilin @dabbe Apart from the sunshine, same. Why do we do this? I just joined another today. 🤦‍♀️ 2w

Cuilin @TheBookHippie Glad to hear your daughter is improving. 😊 2w

Deblovestoread Holidays were different this year and a lot more work. Back home again with a few chores to do and some reading. So far I‘ve kept up on my daily journaling (word for the year is strength), will start Les Mis today and get caught up. On track with Lark Rise to Candleford and looking forward to Sense & Sensibility. No TV lately. 2w

AllDebooks @Cuilin I have that on my watchlist. 😊 2w

AllDebooks @Deblovestoread I'm so excited for S & S, my favourite Austen. Love the Dashwoods. 2w

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Holidays were fine, but i worked more than usual this year so it didn't quite feel like Xmas. Grandma was able to celebrate at home. They short days luckily don't get me down too much, but I am a fan of cozy twinkle lights over harsh overhead lights. We've been revisiting DCs Legends of Tomorrow, which is now complete, if you enjoy unexpected misfit heroes in bonkers situations who are sometimes morally gray. Otherwise, trying to catch up here. 2w

dabbe @AllDebooks Holy guacamole, Batman! 🤩🤪😂 2w

dabbe @AllDebooks I hear ya! 🤩😂🤗 2w

mhillis I don‘t usually have much time to watch series, but during the vacation I found that Drops of God on AppleTV was very good! And it‘s based on a manga 🙌 2w

I don‘t know if there‘s a better thing to do at New Year‘s Eve than finish a good book. I saw this around for so long, now finally gave it a go and read it in three days. This is so random and yet so warm and comfortable. Also I am craving cinnamon buns now.

TheKidUpstairs Such a good New Year's book :) And yes, I defy anyone to read it and not crave something deliciously baked! 2w

so-so

A cozy fantasy which I guess I expected more from. It is good, just underwhelming for what I had in mind. Also, I have to point out how difficult it was for me to read it while also wanting to be gaming; all the cozy hobbies at once😹✨

Librarybelle How can this be the last weekend of 2024??? After cleaning this morning, I plan to read—so many books to finish by the end of the year! This has been a good holiday, working a little bit and doing a lot of reading. Wishing everyone a good new year! 3w

Cupcake12 Had a nice quiet Christmas. I‘ve already been back to work but today I‘m at home catching up on Xmas tv, cuddled up with my fur babies. I have some book store vouchers so I‘m looking at purchasing new books too. Xx 3w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle It's crazy how quick it's gone? My theory is that if you're involved in the academic year, time flies by. I'm hoping time slows down once my beasties are all finished with school and college. I'm planning on much the same as you in the run-up to new year. Enjoy your reading xx 3w

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 3w

tpixie @AllDebooks TODAY is our family Christmas- all 4 kids are here with 6 grandkids & a friend. Sadly, my son-in-law just had knee surgery & he tried to wean off his meds too fast & he‘s been in pain so decided to stay at his mother‘s house a little longer instead of being part of our craziness these last couple days.- which is a good decision, but we miss him. Our big dinner is tomorrow! No reading except in the middle of the night! 😝 Wild but fun 3w

kspenmoll I am so happy- a nice long break from work/ HS-I don‘t go back until 1/2/25. This has been a leisurely time. Today we are having freezing rain so I plan to read! 3w

Bookwormjillk I‘m in agreement with all of you that it‘s crazy how fast this year went. We still have house guests until the 1st so not a lot of reading time here. It is nice to see everyone but the social batteries of this family of introverts are draining quickly. Hoping to encourage the guests to take an outing today 😂 3w

Bookwormjillk @tpixie Enjoy! 3w

Librarybelle Good luck with your reading too, @AllDebooks ! 3w

TheBookHippie Freezing rain and multiple barometric pressure shifts here -it‘s like a rollercoaster! Yikes. Mr Book Hippie has off until January 6 as does my son -so we‘re huddled in with books movies homework scholarship applying …I‘m trying to stay this side of a migraine. About to make coffee… 3w
