Sick Day | Steven Banks

Yesterday when I woke up on the day of departure to go home from my Mexican vacation, I was feeling incredibly stuffed and not feeling well. Endured a 4 1/2 hour flight home, walking through YVR, going through customs, driving about an hour to my parents house before heading to bed. Today I‘m taking it really easy and resting at my parents place.

RebelReader Feel better! Sucks to come home from vacation sick! 1w

Trapped on Treasure Island | Floyd Gottfredson

Repost for @aperfectmjk

#trappedonanisland will resume starting 12/1. You can use your current trappedonanisland Goodreads shelf, or you can create a holiday shelf and share that if you want. I started a WinterGames shelf before it was canceled, so I think I'm just going to roll with it. This is a great way to finish off those random yearly challenges. Let us help you pick those reads.

Allylu #WinterGames was canceled? How did I not know this??? @Clwojick 1w

Clwojick @Allylu Well be back for next year, we just had too many personal plans to be able to host the event in the way that we normally do. It takes a lot of time to prep, leading up to the event, and a lot of time keeping up with everything during. We didn‘t want to let people down by delivering a subpar event, so we felt it would be best to simply wait until next year when we could give it our all again. Sorry for the disappointment. 😔 1w

Allylu @Clwojick I understand completely. I wasn't trying to be critical, just surprised I hadn't heard about it. The other people that were planning to host various events can still do them and give you two a break. I love #WinterGames & #Scarathlon and especially being on your teams! I hope you have a rejuvenating holiday season. If there is ever anything I can do to help you out, please let me know. 1w

Clwojick @Allylu thanks for being understanding. I know a lot of people were looking forward to it, but so far everyone has been super understanding. Just means we‘ll have to make next year extra special! 😉 1w

#trappedonanisland will resume starting 12/1. You can use your current trappedonanisland Goodreads shelf, or you can create a holiday shelf and share that if you want. I started a WinterGames shelf before it was canceled, so I think I'm just going to roll with it. This is a great way to finish off those random yearly challenges. Let us help you pick those reads.

Here's how it works. ⬇️

aperfectmjk
- Those who would want to participate will create a shelf on their Goodreads called "trapped on an island".
- You will then add books to this shelf that have been on your TBR the longest that you want to tackle. The more books on your shelf the better.
- Each month at the start of the month you will be assigned a match.
- You will pick 5 books for your match from their "trapped on an island" shelf. 2w

aperfectmjk -You will create a post that showcases the 5 books you selected for your match and tag your match. Please keep in mind these selections need to be made quickly to give your match time to get their reading in.
- You must read at least one book chosen for you. It's up to you if you choose to read more. The idea is that you're stuck on an island and these 5 books are your only options for reading. 2w

aperfectmjk If you want to participate, start working on your goodreads shelf now. Post a link to your shelf in the comments below. 2w

aperfectmjk If you want up to 10 titles chosen for you, please specify. Some people may want to read more to finish off their end of year goals. 2w

Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale | Liz Braswell

so-so

This Twisted Tale was an "also ran" for me. It was too long and could have had some tighter editing. I found myself skimming quickly through whole sections to find parts to read more slowly.

Gina's the best character - she stole the show - though Rapunzel is very likeable. Not a keeper for me but I will try some more Twisted Tales.

Disney Princess Cinderella: So, This Is Love | Igloo Books

pick

I was just in the mood for a bit of romance and Disney magic and this didn't disappoint. I've read a few Twisted Tales - a couple of brilliant ones, and a couple I thought were a bit meh. This one by Elizabeth Lim is one of the good ones.

A very likeable Cinderella and Prince and some good strong female characters bring this tale to life.

Poor Unfortunate Soul: A Tale of the Sea Witch | Serena Valentino

pan

2✨ I really struggled with this one because it was less about Ursula and more about the story that connects this series. It took me a long time to want to finish it. The back story of Ursula was interesting. However, besides her anger that is all that was really explored. I feel more prepared for the rest of the series with the work for the series in this book at least.
