It‘s time for me to post loads of Christmas funnies! Starting with this one. If I had a chocolate advent calendar, y‘all, we‘d be days from Christmas!! 🤣
#wintergames #snowangels @Emilymdxn
🎅 Annual dr checkup then to work. Then hopefully pouring into #wintergames
🤶 I need to finish Us Against You (which will be helpful for my atoz bingo board), Homecoming, and No Time Like the Past. My first Christmas read will probably be A Christmas Carol because I ❤️ it.

pickA star hockey player rapes a girl; the town divides (very unevenly) as to who is telling the truth…because the rape affects whether Beartown will win the national championship. Many residents believe the allegation was motivated to prevent the team from winning. The book dissects the gut-wrenching view from a huge cast of characters. Trigger warnings abound. This is a dark, dark book and takes readers to a despairing place so beware. But as with⬇️
I'm having a heckuva time finishing No Time Like the Past, I've just been too busy. But it is still on my #wintergames tbr. But as part of this amazing series, Jodi Taylor releases short stories on Christmas often about Christmas, many of the books highlighted in green. This year, Christmas Pie will be released on Christmas Day. So I'm adding them all to my #wintergames tbr, as I would love to relisten to them! #snowangels #serieslove2023
The next design is underway for my #litsylove Christmas cards. I love the blank slate and waiting to see what will happen. #foodandlit #Sweden @Catsandbooks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
I finished Beartown and have immediately started this one. #foodandlit #Sweden @Catsandbooks
Assembly is so slow. Those little “joyeux” were crazy difficult to cut, dye, and affix to the shimmer and then cut the shimmer to match. Going a little cross-eyed with it. Card bottom left is the only one I‘ve finished. And of course this book is very dark. #litsylove #foodandlit #Sweden @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Catsandbooks
I‘m starting to assemble the pieces for Christmas cards for #litsylove while listening to the tagged book

Reposting for all those wanting to play the #wintergamesatoz #wgatoz bingo for #wintergames.
I‘m assembling the last set of cards for #naturalitsycardswap. Those pine cones are quite the challenge! Listening to the tagged book while I work on these. @TheBookHippie @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit @jenniferw88 #foodandlit #Sweden @Catsandbooks
Started this ebook a little early for #authoramonth @Soubhiville

Hello #snowangels teammates! I look forward to reading everyone‘s responses.
1) Little Christmas Eve-a Norwegian tradition my husband brought with him when he immigrated-where we celebrate by opening one present, opening presents on Christmas Eve, and stocking stuffers on Christmas morning
2) I ❤️ spelling as many words as possible!
3) Cozy PJs, drinking hot chocolate with my 🐈⬛ in my lap, with some good music in the background

#wintergames tbr with specific goal to try to complete #wintergamesatoz readathon and bingo, so feel free to use it for inspiration. Letters P-Z
Also, you can see my codes for Audible and ebooks (I have a Kindle collection called Christmas in my ebook library).

I've put together a “complete“ tbr list for #wintergames, especially with the goal to complete the #wintergamesatoz readathon and bingo. I've included a lot of books from my ebook collection (lots of free downloads), and holiday audiobooks I can get through my membership in Audible. So yea, it's long--very aspirational! Here are books A to I. I will post the rest of the alphabet in subsequent posts.
I checked this book out from my library so I could post some of the best parts (I read the audiobook). This is one of my favorite “stories.”
This morning I‘m designing cards for the #Naturalitsycardswap. So much fun!!

pickThis is a book of stories, no doubt, but the vast majority are a minute or shorter! Less than a handful are 3 or fewer minutes. It could be hard to grasp some of it since they are so short and I listened to it rather than read it. But some “stories” were so profound, I‘m going to have to find the IRL book. The author was from #Uruguay but he shared morsels from all over the world: quotes, news, history, thoughts. But I did love his references ⬇️
pickShakerism attracted the poorest of the poor in #SaintVincentandtheGrenadines, mostly descendants of slaves, who couldn‘t afford the “fees” to belong to the established religions. Shakers worshipped God with their whole bodies, shouting and (heaven forbid, apparently) jumping, which those opposed attributed to barbaric African culture. After decades of oppression, a law was passed in 1912 prohibiting it. Then came decades to try to repeal it. ⬇️
Yesterday and today I finished the last two books of the #readingtheAmericas challenge hosted by @Librarybelle and @BarbaraBB that I‘ll review separately. For every year I‘ve participated in their continent challenges I feel I have gained so much as a person learning about our world. This year‘s challenge hit close to home, since it is home. Thank you ladies for hosting these amazing challenges
And now…gearing up for #wintergames!! @Emilymdxn
“There would be a crafts tent and a small, local farmers‘ market for anyone who wanted to buy a small local farmer.”
Taylor‘s humor is priceless
Marathoning it through Scarathlon and other challenges, I‘m finally back to my tried and true #serieslove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65
This lasted for more than 50 years despite numerous efforts to repeal the law. It was finally repealed in 1965!
Finishing this book on Thanksgiving helps me to realize what more I have to be grateful for, at least for now. May our constitutional rights be protected from insidious invasion
#SaintVincentandtheGrenadines #readingtheAmericas @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
This book is such a testament to freedom of religion. Imagine this, after decades of repression
#SaintVincentandtheGrenadines #readingtheAmericas @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
The prohibition against practicing the Shaker religion was, likely, based on racism and remnants of colonialism.
#SaintVincentandtheGrenadines #readingtheAmericas @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
I hope everyone‘s Thanksgiving was wonderful! But if it didn‘t go so well, just think, you‘re continuing in a grand American tradition
#ThanksgivingFunnies
From a #SaintVincent newspaper editorial in 1939. Heaven forbid repealing a law that prohibited practicing religion as the masses saw fit. If that happened then the state couldn‘t censor films and literature and protect the masses from themselves! Oh how history repeats itself.
#readingtheAmericas @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB
Tagged. If he were alive and I could manage to schedule Thanksgiving dinner with him, it‘d be a fascinating conversation. I can‘t wait to review this book.
Who‘d you have dinner with?
Interestingly, turducken as well as tofurkey were topics of conversation at our turkey dinner.
#ThanksgivingFunnies
Today‘s menu: A34G(roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts with maple syrup) and chocolate pie and chocolate cake for our birthday girl (my daughter) PLUS deviled eggs (mmmm)
Sadly not E. No one touched my salad! Fortunately I didn‘t add dressing so we will all be eating more healthy the next couple of days with leftover salad! 😂
#friendsgiving @Catsandbooks
It was a great Thanksgiving with my family! We don‘t watch anything—we cook together and celebrate a lot of birthdays between Nov 25-30!
