My stack for the #backlistreadathon and #joyousjanuary.. I didn't realize I was so behind on this series. There is another coming out this year and I hope to be caught up by then.

pickImogen dreams of opening a bakery, has almost just enough money for a storefront, and then accidently burns down her apartment. She loses everything but receives entry to a magical baking competition she didn't think she managed to enter. Traveling to the village, she discovers magic is real. When a fellow competitor ends up dead, she is the prime suspect. Now she must continue trying to compete with more seasoned magicals, and clear her name.👇🏻
I'm so sorry I forgot to post this when I got home @LeslieO ! I love it. The candy is gone, that sponge candy was so interesting! I really liked it. I'm thinking of saving the book for Christmas season this year but haven't decided yet. Thanks again!
Thanks for hosting #jolabokaflodswap @MaleficentBookDragon !
I was in such a hurry to enact my travel plans early that I forgot to grab my #jolabokaflodswap package 😭. It will have to wait until I get home. @LeslieO @MaleficentBookDragon
I received my #jolabokaflodswap package a couple of days ago, and sent out a package yesterday, expected delivery Monday.

pickThis is one if my favorite cozy series. Meg's cousin has started a podcast about cold cases. When his cohost is almost run over, they suspect the cause is one if the close to home cases they featured. So they enlist Meg to investigate. During this, we do get treated to the usual chaos of Meg's family as they prepare for her brother's wedding.

pickI loved this movie as a child and upon realizing it was a book, I was very eager to see how the differed. There were many differences but the essential of the story was the same: a magical car creating magical adventures. It was a short listen but enjoyable.

pickI reread this childhood favorite as I found it in my closet while cleaning. Based on the real real pony penning that takes place, it's a story of hope and believing from 2 children who do what adults couldn't. After my reread, I'm going to pass this old battered copy to my niece.

pick6 short stories that make the story of Rumpelstiltskin more logical by closing up several of the holes in the original story. A fun, quick, read.

@PatriciaU Thank you so much for a wonderful #basicwitchswap package. I feel spoiled. I'm sorry to say that the lavender didn't make it, but the sage and thyme seem fine. I love eveything!
Thanks for hosting @sprainedbrain !
@MatchlessMarie Thank you so much for all of my #HHS goodies! I love them. I will be having a caramel apple feast a bit later!
@wanderinglynn thank you for hosting!
pickThe bit of investigative journalism that launched Nellie Bly's career. She very easily, too easily, was institutionalized. This was further supported by the number of sane women stuck there. The conditions were horrible. Bly's expose brought these conditions to light and helped start reform.

pickA memoir if the first 30 or so years of her life. I loved The Parent Trap as a kid, but I've only seen Pollyanna once nd want to check out her other movies. I enjoyed her stories of behind the scenes and with other well known actors. I hated the financial debacle she had and that she had self esteem issues. Overall a good read for any fan of hers.

@sprainedbrain and @wanderinglynn I dropped off my #hhs and #bws packages at the post office. One should arrive Wed and the other Thurs. Also @sprainedbrain I received a box today that had nothing marked on it, was my sender for #bws named Patricia? I'm not expecting anything else so thought I would ask before opening it.
@MatchlessMarie I'm so sorry I didn't post this sooner. I received my #hhs package on Wed or Thurs, but things have been hectic and I didn't have a chance to post. @wanderinglynn and @sprainedbrain, I had every intention of taking my #hhs and #bws packages to the post office earlier this week, but some issues arose and I didn't make it. I'm going tomorrow morning and sending priority. I'm sorry about the delay and will post before sending.

@sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit
A little late, but here is my #bookspinbingo #doublespin #bookspin list for Aug. I put quite a few titles from my Nook and kindle apps since I plan to travel a bit. @TheAromaofBooks
@erank58 I'm so sorry I'm late in posting this. I meant to yesterday but the day got away from me. My #lls package arrived on Monday. @sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit
pickI loved this book. All I knew about Dave Grohl was that he was a member of the Foo Fighters. I never knew he was the drummer of Nirvana. He's a family man, once flying from Australia immediately after a show to take a daughter to a father daughter dance, spent a few hours, then flew back to Australia for another show. He ha amazing stories and seems to be an incredibly nice, humble guy. #nonfiction2022 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa
@Chrissyreadit Thabk you so much for my trip to Scotland! The booksleeve and tote are beautiful, I love the image of the historical map, the books wonderful, the picture on the mug is gorgeous and I absolutely love shortbread, it won't last long. I love this swap and always look forward to it. Thank you and @DinoMom for hosting!
@catiewithac thank you so much for all the summer goodies! I'm excited to make the wall hanging. As on as we get a day that isn't stupidly muggy and hot I'll be sitting outside reading and drinking from my new cup. Thanks again and thank you @Catsandbooks for hosting! #sliceofsummerswap
So my #sliceofsummerswap and #staycationintimeswap packages were dropped off at the post office Tuesday after work. U will have to send a separate envelope in the #staycationintimeswap since I got home and realized something didn't make it in the box.

pickShe is amazing. Her courage is astounding and I loved her story. There really isn't anything else to say.
#nonfiction2022 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa #pantone2022colorchallenge @Clwojick
pickThe second book of comedian/ actress Laura Clery in which she discusses the turn her life has taken now that she is a mother. From accidental activism concerning public breastfeeding, her continued life of sobriety and more stories of when she was an addict, to her recent diagnosis of ADHD as well as the diagnosis of both her husband's and son's autism, nothing is off limits.
#nonfiction2022 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa
pickThe life up to this point of musician/ actor Will Smith. I learned a lot of things I never knew.
#nonfiction2022 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa #pantone2022colorchallenge @Clwojick
pickA guide to only giving a f*ck about the things that truly matter to you, and ignoring those that don't, thus living a better life.
#nonfiction2022 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa #pantone2022colorchallenge @Clwojick
pickI was aware of the existence of this book, but knew nothing of the subject matter. It is a story of WWII told through the eyes of a naive 9 year old German boy. I knew immediately where his family relocated and what his father did. The ending broke my heart. I saw it coming as soon but hoped it wouldn't end the way it did. Very good book.
April #authoramonth @Soubhiville
pickVery information about protecting and preserving ancient manuscripts in Mali during the occupation by Al-Queda. It gives a lot if background about Al-Queda forces in Northern Africa as well.
