My #happyfridayreadinghour drink and book #fridayhappyreadinghour
My #jolabokaflod is being sent out tomorrow; just been really busy with life. Presents got wrapped this evening.
pick4.5⭐️ I know that this book is considered to be quite divisive and readers really like it or really don‘t like it, but I really like it. There were lots of things that I liked about and it didn‘t hurt that I learned something about Canadian history that I didn‘t know about until I read this book. #2025 #bookclub #basedonatruestory #historicalfiction
so-so3⭐️ I had signed this book out many times over the past few years, hoping to get around to it. This year I finally got around to it and I was a bit disappointed with the book. Having read a number of the author‘s books and enjoying most of them, I was underwhelmed with the story; I don‘t see myself rereading this book. #2025 #fiction #christmasfiction
pick5⭐️ I really enjoyed this #reread and still felt horrified by Kate‘s experience at the Oil Sands in Alberta. #2025 #bookreview #nonfiction #memoir #graphicnovel #bookclub
pick3.5⭐️ I had different expectations when I started the book and what I thought I would get and what I did get was totally different. I also read the book too fast and should have read it slower. #2025 #nonfiction #politics #christianity
pick4⭐️ I had planned on reading this book earlier but just didn't get around to it until November. I really did like the book and found it to be quite insightful. #2025 #historicalfiction #biographicalfiction #fiction
pick4⭐️ I read this due to Libby doing a big read and my home library having a challenge related to this book. I was pleasantly surprised with this book and quite enjoyed it. #2025 #fiction #middlegrade #fantasy #magicalrealism

My Christmas 🎄 #bookspinbingo. I will be doing a regular #bookspinbingo as well and will have that list by Monday (yes I have one of those pens that have the different colours that you can choose from).
pick4.5⭐️ One of my favourite books; I really liked the strong female characters and liked that their work at Bletchley was the emphasis rather than the romantic aspects. It‘s probably one of the better #wwii novels out there. #2025 #bookreview #historicalfiction #bookclub #fiction
This is what I am getting when trying to enter into StoryGraph tonight. So much for being reliable.
Checked out the website and it‘s really slow; something to do with their servers. Hopefully it is working better in the morning… #storygraph
pick4⭐️ While it was slow during the first two parts, I really enjoyed the book. #2025 #bookclub #historicalfiction #fantasy #fiction #historicalfantasy
pick4⭐️ Despite having not read The Break, I really enjoyed this book (had to read a summary of The Break to understand certain aspects of the book). I really liked how the author drew the characters and made you feel comfortable with the characters and their stories, even if they were severely flawed. #2025 #family #familydysfunction #canadian #metis #fiction #manitoba #bookclub
so-so3⭐️ Thought the book was ok; will probably have to reread this book again to better understand the story better #historicalfiction #2025 #fiction #dualtimeline
pick4⭐️ I really enjoyed this book, but felt it lost a bit of momentum towards the end of the book. Overall, a really good book and still among my favourites. I think it was the book that really made really like #historicalfiction. #2025 #fiction #bookreview #bookclub
pick4⭐️ Really enjoyed this #contemporary #paranormal book. It definitely was creepy in areas and definitely gave off Halloween vibes. #2025 #fiction #bookclub
so-so3.5⭐️ I had really hoped to like this book and kept reading it hoping for a spark with the book. But I didn‘t really get that. I think I had expected more, especially since I really enjoyed The Lost Apothecary. I just felt meh about the book. #2025 #fiction #lgbtq+ #paranormal #bookclub #historicalfiction
Travelled about 6,900 miles from Vancouver, BC to São Paulo, Brazil, with my parents in 1982. #majicmonday
pick4.5⭐️ I had forgotten about how much I liked this book the first time I read it about 10 years ago. There was a good discussion about the book during the #bookclub meeting on Monday night (one of the people at the meeting had major hang ups in regards to the sex scene at the end of the book) #2025 #historicalfiction #fiction #historicalromance #romance #wwi
so-so3⭐️ Thought it was an ok #shortstory; it was a fairly quick read #2025 #fiction #norawatts #mystery
pick4⭐️ Very cute read; am really enjoying this series. Got me in the mood for Christmas. #2025 #christmasromance #romance #fiction #opendoor #christmas #dreamharbor

pick5⭐️ I really liked this one. It was a #bookclub pick for one of my library book clubs. Even though I knew the twist, I still really enjoyed it. #2025 #mystery #historicalfiction #fiction
