so-so

Between a So-So and a Pan. It's not the funny, cute, christmas-y RomCom the German version promised to be.
1. the translation is really bad. 2. Andrew is not the nice character he is supposed to be. He does not respect Ellies boundaries, which is a no go. 3. alcohol is portraied as a problem solver, which it clearny isn't. 4. Names and brands are mentioned that do not belong in a queer novel whithout further explanation.
Some cute scenes though.

I hope everyone had a Merry Xmas ♥️💚As you can tell, I‘m back from my SM break & while I‘m still not 100% I am doing better. Plus I missed you all! I‘ll be launching my #JumpStart2025 challenge so all of us can start the year right coz I just did a home library organisation where my daughter & I found I had 3,000 books on my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom😱 I am now banned from buying books till that‘s smaller🫣Any suggestions on other 2025 challenges?

LeeRHarry Lovely to see you here Liz! 💕 1d

TrishB Good to see you ❤️ 1d

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Welcome back! ❤️ As for reading challenges, I‘m participating in #BookSpinBingo and #Roll100 again. A new one I‘m trying out is the DnD themed #FrozenSick. I‘m really looking forward to it. The @LitsyEvents account has a bunch of challenges and buddy reads reposted too if you‘re looking for a bigger list. 😅❤️ 1d

Lizpixie @LeeRHarry @TrishB @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Librarybelle @thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Chelsea.Poole thank you all for your welcome back, I‘m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things & to a new reading year!♥️📚 9h

Ruthiella Glad you are feeling better! Wonderful to see you back posting. ❤️ I recommend trying the #Roll100 challenge, since it is only three books a month that you choose from your TBR. That gives you space to also read other books and not feel too constricted. (edited) 28m

I‘m ready for #Roll100 in 2025!

I have four chunks with 25 titles in each - gifts, BOTM/Aardvark, eBooks and paper. I had a really hard time whittling the list down so I‘m pretty excited for the upcoming year!!

PuddleJumper Looking good! I like your journal layout 2d

It‘s almost time to start making my #bookspinbingo list for next year. I also have my #readyourkindle and #roll100 lists to make too. I‘m still hoping to read some more books before the end of the year from Kindle Unlimited but luckily, they‘re short. I haven‘t decided if I want to try reading my Netgalley books next month, mood read or just do a combination of both. I need to read my Netgalley books but I have so many to read. It‘s overwhelming.

January | Sara Gallardo

Believe it or not, we are less than a week away from not just a new month, but an entirely brand new year!! Since all my efforts to stop time have been to no avail, I guess I have to accept the inevitable and start planning my 2025 #BookSpin list!! I am super excited to Spin along with all of you this year, even if creating this post does give me a mini-existential crisis every month 😂

As always, a reminder to make your lists work for you!! ⬇

TheAromaofBooks I love seeing the creativity of everyone‘s lists. Some people stick with specific titles, but many of you have switched to categories to help accommodate mood reading (and life!), and I have seen some super fun ideas. Things like: published in the 1990s; on the living room shelf; such-and-such challenge; red cover; mystery; library book; author‘s backlist; etc etc. There are no wrong answers for your list. Feel free to experiment ⬇ 2d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) and find a system that works for you. Personally, I have started a two-list approach. I create one list that lasts the whole year and is comprised of books that I call “hard” books (usually nonfiction) and that is my actual BookSpin book each month. My second list I make is my monthly TBR and that‘s my BookSpinBingo list – and that month‘s BookSpin book gets added to that list!! This is a loosey-goosey challenge ⬇ 2d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) whose primary goal is to get books off your TBR, whatever that looks like for you.

There is a giveaway associated with this challenge!! Every BookSpin and DoubleSpin book that you finish counts as an entry!! In January I will post a Google Form that you can fill out to track these entries, and that form will have more details on the “rules” of the giveaway. Right now, there is still time to enter the 2024 giveaway!! ⬇ 2d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) This is my first time using the brand new 2025 tag list!! So if you do not get tagged today and wish to be added, please let me know!! If you get skipped, it‘s also possible that I just misspelled your username lol Anyone is welcome to join, and remember that you are also welcome to dip in and out of this challenge throughout the year. ⬇ 2d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Thank you all again for joining me on this adventure and listening to all my rambling!! 😂 I spontaneously created this challenge on January 1, 2020, with no idea that it would still be going strong five years later!! I‘ve had so much fun Spinning with all of you and can‘t wait to see what we read this year!! 2d

Yuki_Onna @TheAromaofBooks Thank YOU for creating and hosting #Bookspin and #Bookspinbingo and for all the work you put into this! It's my favourite reading challenge and adds so much fun to my reading year!❣️ 2d

TheAromaofBooks @Yuki_Onna - Thank you!!! 💕 💕 💕 2d

AmyG And so begins another year. Thank you so very much! 2d

Bookwormjillk Making a list today! 2d

PuddleJumper Too soon! 🤣 2d

Librarybelle Yay! I‘ve been thinking about my list the past few days! 2d

BarkingMadRead I‘m planning on making my list later today! 2d

Soubhiville I‘ve been considering my first list of the year as well 🙂📚 2d

TheSpineView I'm in, but that doesn't mean I am ready! 2d

peanutnine I'm never ready for the next month but I'm always excited to make my list! 2d

DGRachel 😭😭 How can it be a new year already (although I‘m definitely okay with kissing 2024 goodbye)? I‘ve actually started outlining my bookspin list though, so I‘m not totally behind. 2d

JackOBotts Let‘s goooooooooooooo! 🙌🏼 2d

Daisey Thank you again for hosting! I‘m going to be working on reading stats for this year and preparing my list for next year today as well. 2d

Suet624 Thank you!!! Best wishes to you on the year ahead. 2d

CoffeeNBooks Thank you for hosting again this year! 2d

Lcsmcat I‘m excited to start thinking about next year‘s lists! Thank you for keeping me reading from my shelves! 2d

Sace I‘m still planning to do my usual perpetual list, but I‘ve got something a little different in mind for 2025. I can‘t wait! 2d

ImperfectCJ I always feel more pressure to make the first list of the year really great...but I don't ever really know what I mean by "great," which makes it a pretty slippery goal. Thanks again for hosting this awesome---dare I say great?---challenge! 2d

claudiuo Still trying hard to finish a couple books, I'll probably again do my list the last day of the month as always; I will not say the last day of the year, because I am still in denial as to time flying by so fast: only a few days left in 2024? No way! 😲 2d

Julies_Bookshelf_Adventures Ready to go this year!! Now that my life has calmed down a bit, I‘m hoping to have more reading time! 2d

BookwormAHN To another year, cheers 🍻 2d

CoffeeK8 January is really sneaking up on me! 2d

bookandbedandtea My perpetual list is ready; bring on 2025! Thanks so much for still doing this, Sarah! 🩷 2d

kelli7990 I haven‘t decided if I want to continue mood reading in January or try to tackle my Netgalley TBR. Maybe I‘ll have some Netgalley prompts, mood reading prompts and then #readyourkindle prompts as well as the short stories I‘ll be reading for #noplacelikeholmes. I also have my #roll100 list and #readyourkindle list to make too. 2d

BookmarkTavern Ahhhh! I‘m not ready! 🤣🤣🤣 2d

Sarahreadstoomuch Tomorrow: I set up my 2025 reading journal, including my bookspin pages!! 2d

Singout That makes me wonder if there‘s going to be a NF challenge in 2025, @Riveted_Reader_Melissa ? If not, I totally understand, but I‘ve really been enjoying it! 2d

GinaKButler I‘d love to still join…can you tag me, Sarah? Thank you! 1d

Sargar114 Thank you for the work that you do on this! ❤️ 1d

My 2025 list for #Roll100! I‘m looking forward to focusing more on reading what I already own this year so instead of doing a half and half list like last year (fifty of the spaces were just supposed to be the next book in a series I was reading), I filled my list completely with actual titles that I chose from my shelves.

I‘m hoping many of these fit the prompts for #FrozenSick but I haven‘t looked ahead because I want to be surprised. 😅

PuddleJumper

Ruthiella Oh! That reminds me I need to prep my list! 😃 3d

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Ruthiella Mine took much longer than I‘d care to admit. 🤣 3d
