My #May selection for #12booksof2024
pickThis was a nonfiction piece that was originally intended to be an expose‘ on the commercialism and corruption of Christmas. Instead, it became a slice of life piece of the suburb of Frisco Texas as it prepares for the Christmas 2006 holiday. The author follows the stories of Tammie, a home decorator; Jeff & Bridgett, homeowners with a ridiculous light display; and Carol, a single mother.
This was a reread/listen for me and I absolutely love it!
pickLoved it!! Sweet book about two HS boys who are quite opposite; one closed down and the other very open and honest but both very good souls. #MexicanAmerican #Texas
so-soI‘m a bit bummed I didn‘t like this one more. I loved two of her other books. It‘s possible that it‘s because it‘s about a man trying to enact vigilante justice, searching for his sister‘s murderer with plans to kill him. Which sounds like it could be exciting, but I was bored. And I guess I don‘t like the idea of revenge?
Anyway, Venkman is posing for you, wishing you a happy holiday. 🐈⬛❤️💚❤️🎄
🎄 Malachi‘s Christmas outfit - that‘s a FABulous Mickey Mouse sweater 😍.
🎄 #LittleChristmasSwap #LCS package received @Jadams89 ! 👏🏼👏🏼 Now just have to wait… 😉
Btw, receipt of package a minor miracle bc our postal carrier decided for no discernible reason that we‘d moved with no forwarding address and forwarded 4 packages and all our mail for a couple days. 😳 They caught this one in time!! 😅
🎄An unfortunately accurate chuckle… 😉
so-soI tried reading this so many times and it was just an uphill battle (I'm the worst at refusing to DNF, but I‘m working on it). I finally made it halfway through, switched to audio and it just came to life for me. A black Texas ranger finds himself in a small town trying to solve multiple murders. I loved her descriptions, but I don't think I'll continue the series.
My #littlechristmas gift has arrived, @JacqMac ! Thank you.

pickLoved this read. A grandmother who was a wartime Japanese bride who had to move to Texas. A granddaughter who wants to be an architect but who allows a person to squash her dreams. What a story! People be who you are and live your lives!:)
2nd in the Darren Matthew's, Highway 59, series reading on my Kindle. Started last night and like it. Even woke up at 4am and read a little since I had a hard time getting back to sleep.
