Here's my pixeled version of #Top10OfTheDecade #NonFiction
I'm pretty sure not all of them were published in the past decade, but I read them in the past ten years.

@Cinfhen
I had a rough idea what a cortado is (Spanish style milk coffee), but of course I checked Wikipedia. Twenty minutes later I know all about different milk coffee beverages, espresso variants and how to make them.
🤦
#NetGalley #ARC
Thank you for the first Christmas card this year, Helen! The new stickers and bookmarks are great, too.
@squirrelbrain
Sorry guys, I will certainly miss a few really good posts, but my feed has been bogged with posts from this # so I'm muting you for the time being.
😘😘😘
You can mute Hashtags online in the web-version of Litsy, just go to your account settings.
This was a bit confusing with many different points of view. It's labelled as romance, but somehow the story was more about family problems rather than the second chance love story it's hailed as.

It's off to a lovely Litten in Europe.

#WeeklyForecast @Cinfhen
Not much reading last week. Even less at the weekend.
I'm still stuck in Crooked Kingdom. I want to savour it.
Then there are so many ARCs to get to.
#NetGalley #ARC
Insta-Love, snarky-ish but stuffy dialogue...
Rather boring.
The German translation did not help the cause.
#OokBOokClub-ers, our Discworld adventure continues TODAY with #MenAtArns!
Looking forward to our discussion next month!
Happy reading!

#BookBuyingBan
Why did I order my #Jolabokaflodswap book to be delivered to the bookstore? Now I need to go into the BOOKSTORE to pick it up. 😵 And I have put a book buying ban on myself, because I don't want to accidentally buy a book that my match might get me.
Send help!
Apparently matches went out yesterday. Unfortunately, that information did not reach me.
Litsy.com/web/santathing
I did a bit of digging around and found my Santee (no info on budget and which shop yet). Unfortunately, again, I also found out who's my Secret Santa. Not sure whether this was intentional, but the info is on Library Thing for all to see @TimSpalding @Litsy
#SantaThing
Currently stalking my #jolabokaflodswap partner.
When I thought a Litten with different taste in genres to mine was difficult to find a book for I had not considered what a nightmare it might be when they have a very similar taste to mine. I could get 20 or even 200 books. How am I to pick just one???
@MaleficentBookDragon
PS: Whoever's stalking me, my Litsy TBR and Goodreads wishlist are both up to date. 😉
I did it!!! I culled 1.6k books from my TBR. There are still about 250 books on the list, but it looks so much better now.
Don't ask how long it took, @Cinfhen. Hours!
Yes! But I'll only get the ones from #jolabokaflodswap and #SantaThing. Any other books and bookish gifts I have to buy myself. And I'm doing it this year. All those books I've lusted after that I want a physical copy of. Okay, not all of them, but five or six. 😉
Yes, my kids and my nephew will get books. Friends, too.
#Two4Tuesday
@TheSpineView
Viv's 52, in the midst of menopause, mother of two children (20ish + 7 y/o), working as a PA in a pellet factory, when she finds out that her husband has an affair with a colleague from work. They try to save their marriage but eventually he leaves her. Now Viv has to pick up the shards of her life. She does so quite well, but the story presentation is dull and convoluted. I skim-read the second half of the #ARC.
#NetGalley
It's #LitsyAwards time.
Nominations are open. Check @LibrarianRyan's post for the details https://litsy.com/p/NTBJWWVwWEhF
@MrBook came up with a reading challenge for next year. It's pretty simple, every month read one book that fits the month's prompt. Post about it at the end of the month. #ReadWithMrBook
Seems doable.
For further/detailed information please check MrBook's original post.
Happy first day of December and first Sunday in Advent. We have perfect reading weather. Overcast, foggy, freezing. I'm snuggling up on the sofa with #booksandtea and my lovely Scandinavian candles.
My son, @the_magicreader, choose the decorations, btw.
@Kalalalatja can you tell us what the "pixie" is called in Danish?
#WeeklyForecast @Cinfhen
I'm intending to continue reading what I started for #NFNov and my #BuddyRead with @DuckOfDoom. Then there are a few (cough 27 cough) ARCs and a few books that I've wanted to read ever since I got them.
#bookreport @cinfhen
Managed to read both books and a few ARCs. It was a very good idea to keep my forecast to two books only.
It's Black Friday, even here in Germany. Booksellers are offering up to 20% discount on English books and I'm so tempted to fill my basket. But then #IllRemember that I signed up for #JolabokaflodSwap and #SantaThing and don't press "buy now".
#MOvember @Cinfhen
PS: tagged book was just chosen because of the title, I have no idea what it actually is about
#Celebration makes me think of food, which made me think of Kinsella's novel because its title was influenced by Nigella Lawson's cookbook.
Picture shows German edition I intend to give to a friend this Yule. The title translates to Goddess in Wellingtons.
#MOvember @Cinfhen
Perfect read for the upcoming #Holiday season. I already own the first two and I am hoping to get book three this year.
#MOvember @Cinfhen
#PowerOfGoodbye
Erm? #SorryNotSorry
No, I haven't read this, nor to I intend to. I just stumbled across this book on Goodreads.
#MOvember @Cinfhen
Absolutely loved the format of this book. Very 21st century. Emails, journal entries, messages, novel excerpts make up the story of this novel.
A quick and cozy read.
#romance
#NetGalley #ARC (published already, I'm behind on my Galleys and have just been approved for 11 more)
As enchanting as the novel!
This cookbook has wonderfully layed out pages, recipes that range from porridge to Mulligatawny soup, and of course Yorkshire pudding, and lots of interesting bits about Yorkshire and the recipes.
#NetGalley #ARC
The message behind the book was good. I liked the character Kim. But overall it was a bit of a lukewarm story. Nothing outstanding about it.
I'm reviewing the ARC copy, it's been published meanwhile.
Good Morning! Grateful for my large mug of coffee.
Final stats for #24B4Monday: roughly 12 hours.
Finished three books: an ARC, a beta-read, Red Seas Under Red Skies

#unpopularopinion
Locke and Jean plan to clean out the vault of a casino, but due to [spoilers] they end up sailing on a pirate ship.
This book had good parts, but most of it felt like watching a cat chase its own tail.
#WeeklyForecast
I'm probably going to read more than these two, I'm still dipping in and out of
📚Crooked Kingdom
📚Dreyer's English
📚Elemental
📚Fall; or Dodge in Hell
But my kids picked up A Boy Called Christmas again and we intend to read it this week. A few chapters every afternoon while sipping hot apple punch.
@Cinfhen
I liked this cute historical #romance set in regency times. French born nobel turned blacksmith and smuggler, who dreams of returning to France now that the revolution is over and money no longer is an issue, falls head over heels for the resident investigative journalist-to-be, who is looking for the story that will make her. France or prison or love for him? Heartbreak or breakthrough or love for her?
ARC provided by the author.
Dec 2nd 2019
Good afternoon!
My stats for the #24B4Monday #readathon. Those 5 hours are not as good as I had hoped, but I've still got time to catch up. 😁
Stats are excluding reading lots of posters while my daughter visited several tiny courses at her potential secondary school, and my son's homework essay about why sugary snacks and drinks should be banned from the school kiosk.
Guess I'd be entitled to say 6 hours 😉

#Hollywood
#MOvember @Cinfhen
Have only read the first in this series, but remembered that the German title is "Shopaholic in Hollywood" (or so).
#PapaDontPreach
#MOvember @Cinfhen
The first book I thought about.

#NFNov @rsteve388 @Clwojick
I love crafting. Recently I've used embroidery to visibly mend torn clothing. This book as over 500 motifs like the few shown here. I can see #audiomending in my future.
Reading the tagged #ARC.
My mind wandered to the "the point is" scene in Good Omens. Now I want to reread GO, listen to the audiobook and watch the series. ???
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
1) Yes. I start other books, often ones that I then procrastinate on by starting yet more books. Visit Litsy. 🙈🙈🙈
2) At 3 ch/30 pp/30% if they are very boring/off-putting. When the urge to whack the author/characters over the head with the hardcover edition (in large print) gets too strong. When the inaccuracies outshine the plot/characters; founding member of the #HistoricalFictionInaccuracyAnnoyanceSupportGroup
Double dip from my currently reading pile (so much for the forecast).
Both stories about master thieves. Both MCs must have been born under a #LuckyStar. They are capable of stealing anything, even the #Masterpiece from the most protected vault in town.
#MOvember @Cinfhen
When's the next book in the series coming?
Forced into working as a wench at the local RenFair this summer, Emily suddenly finds herself handfasted to a pirate, played by her least favourite person at the fair, or is he?
Cute story! I enjoyed the audiobook very much.
#GhostCat decided to snag my seat after I got fresh tea. I swear she had a smug smile on her face when I returned.

I lost some pounds, gained muscle strength and, according to my physiotherapist, the change is visible.
THANK YOU LYNN! 😘😘😘
#WeeklyForecast @Cinfhen
Again, tentative. I know myself, I have a tendency to ignore my plans and read several other books or none at all.
Enjoying the tagged book at the moment.
