I wanted so much to enjoy this one. It had great bones, I liked the premise & setting. But the plot lagged too slowly, the language was unbearable, and I just did not enjoy this book. #BBShamp #WifeinWaterColor

#ThoughtfulThursday is BACK!!!!

✨My goal is at least 30 books this year!

✨My word of the year is GRATITUDE in 2022. I am practicing being grateful for so much this year. “Glass half full” POV this year! ((Not toxic positivity, just adjusting my view)).

✨The tagged one is difficult to read bc it‘s written in local colonial dialects from 1750s era Maryland. It‘s a struggle.

⭐️Everyone is welcome to play. Tagging some Littens below ⬇️

I really enjoyed these romances. I am a tough reviewer on romances, especially holiday ones. But I highly recommend adding them to your list for Christmas 2022.

1️⃣ The tagged ARC! It was such a great countdown to Christmas. It‘s supposed to function like an advent calendar of short historical romance stories for Christmas. Sweet, heartwarming stories.
2️⃣ A Fresh Start 🙂

Thanks for thinking of me, Lisa! If you haven‘t played yet: feel free!

A very Merry Christmas to all my Littens celebrating today! May you have a calm, peaceful holiday filled with things (and people) that make your heart happy! #MerryChristmas #AllisCalm #AllisBright 🎄♥️🎁🕯❄️

OHHHH @Soubhiville 😱🥳🤩😍 Thank you! I am a huge Dave Grohl fan & I am SO excited! You picked the best book & chocolate choices! I cannot wait to read this in the New Year. Thank you so very much & Merry Christmas to you! Thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting one of my favorite #Litsy Holiday Traditions! #JolabokaflodSwap #HolidayTradition

Remember Littens: It‘s okay if this holiday isn‘t “Merry”. Everyone is battling something & struggling. Please be gentle with yourselves. 🎄♥️🎄♥️

Baking cookies is a holiday tradition in my family; we make my Grandmother‘s special Russian Tea cookies EVERY year. We also made sugar cookies, using a recipe from the Harry Potter cook book & used my HP cookie cutters. #HarryPotter #Hedwig #HogwartsExpress #ChristmasCookies #HolidayTradition

Oh @StaceGhost 😍😍😍 I am absolutely in love with my #WinterSolsticeSwap box! Thank you so much for everything! I am looking forward to diving into these to start the New Year off right. Oh! And (not pictured) the Yule oil smells so good!!!! Thank you so much 😊

Thank you @sprainedbrain & @Chrissyreadit for bringing this swap to creation! It was so fun & I really enjoyed it. May everyone have a very Blessed Solstice & Yule! 🌲🕯❄️

@StaceGhost your #WinterSolsticeSwap will be delivered between these times! Honestly, I should‘ve driven it to you; my best friend lives in Dover & if I‘d have known it would take a week to get to you….🤦🏻‍♀️ I didn‘t put your card in there, so it will come later. 💙🤍💙🤍💙

Yule Blessings to you all! Tomorrow is the #WinterSolstice and we begin our return to the light! May the Yuletide season bring blessings to you all! 🎄❤️💚

🎹 We have a piano in our house for the first time. It‘s been 48 years since my Mom has played. She bought herself a few books of music to play Christmas Carols & see if she could remember & play. And guess what? SHE REMEMBERS! It‘s our new #ChristmasTradition to hear her play some carols. Now just need the piano tuned 🤣 🎄

My #WinterSolsticeSwap package delivery has been delayed until Monday 12/20 😭 I‘m very sorry @StaceGhost & I‘m not opening mine until yours arrives. I mailed it in plenty of time, but its still delayed. I‘m so frustrated. I will keep checking, maybe it will come tomorrow & be a Yule/Solstice miracle!

🤣😂🤣😂😂😂 It‘s so true! 🧦🎄👹

1️⃣ I love the classics, and Celtic carols. Instrumentals are good, too.
2️⃣ Pine/Evergreen hands down!

Thanks for the tag, Lisa! Anyone who hasn‘t played: this is your sign to play! ♥️❄️🎄

My Dearest Littens:
I lost a childhood friend last night. She was 35, a dancer/yoga teacher, joyful soul who had been through hell with her family over the last 17 years. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on Thanksgiving, and her kidneys shut down, leading to her passing last night. Her parents will now burry a second child; her two surviving siblings lost another one. Especially at Christmas, which is unimaginable. ⬇️

#ThoughtfulThursday will be back in January 2022! It‘s been a busy time, lots going on. So new year, fresh start back!
