A bit late for #twofortuesday:
1) the tagged book is my most recent 5-star read. The book must be well written, hard to put down, and elicits an emotional response from me (except anger for being poorly written or edited). The tagged book made me LOL, a shocking surprise and the writing was superb!
2) No because I rarely reread books and normally only do so if I loved it in the first place. But have changed ratings after thinking about a book.

1. For more compassionate governments and a caring global society that minimises the impact of climate change etc on the most vulnerable people
2. For a balance of peace in my own life and motivation to make things better for others
• I always do the Goodreads challenge! The last few years I‘ve done a bunch, but this year I only did the one
• I think I want to try the Modern Mrs Darcy and PopSugar challenges!

1- Yes . When I was a young teen I liked books I‘d no longer be able to read. I‘ve also seemed to change a bit lately. For the longest time, I liked true crime, but I‘ve either read too much of it, I‘m not in the right frame of mind for it, or I haven‘t found any that is super interesting.
2 - ? Drawing a blank here. I think Owen Meany and Delores Claiborne are tied. Both very memorable for different reasons. You get to know them very well.

1. Definitely! I‘ve got a lot more into non fiction though I still read over half fiction, and politics has become a lot more important to me which has been reflected in my reading. Maybe that‘s me getting older or maybe it reflects what‘s happened in uk and international politics this decade.
2. Jane Eyre forever. She‘s been inspiring me to be true to my principles since I was about 11yo
1. Yes, books are always welcome and I have a whole Amazon list devoted to books.
2. Yes. I always try to give my nieces and nephew books. My parents are big readers as well so sometimes they ask for books.

Nope and nope!! I give book gift cards to my daddy who loves to read and I want book cards in return! @TheSpineView @TheSpineView #TwoforTuesday #WinterGames #TeamElectricSex @LibrarianRyan
1- no, we don‘t do gifts. If we want something, we just get it .
2- no, gift cards are easier. They can buy what they want that way.

1- Just picked out a stack at the library. We‘ll see what attracts my attention. I always grab as many as I can carry, then look through them when I get home.
2- Our traditions have gone out the window. It‘ll just be the 2 of us , eating a nice meal and enjoying the peace.
We might put a tree up if I get the hankering to do it. If not, I have my tiny silver one out with a silver wreath on the door.

1. Hoping to finish Once Upon a River and this section of The Last Hours for #literarycrew - but I‘m hosting a parade watching party for breakfast for friends and dessert party in the afternoon for family so don‘t know how much is happening.
2. All our traditions from being a kid kind of died away but the parade watching is a new tradition and going out to eat is an old tradition.
