This cutie was rescued by my daughter and her fiancé last week.
We're so happy to have Mia join the family ?
Diving into a relaxing, palate cleansing read
There was a lot of info here. Luckily, Goldberg writes in a very engaging, witty, and humorous way; other wise it would've read like a dry history text. The individual POVs from each side were interesting and enlightening and sometimes frustrating. Overall, a very worthy read.
This completed a second bingo for the month; yayyy!

Thank you @dabbe for the tag☺️ I skipped last week's #TLT bc dessert is really not my thing and my score was abysmal 😂
I've tried 35/73 for 48%
My faves:
🥚deviled eggs
🍠candied yams
🍞stuffing
And the whiskey-cranberry slushie is something I'd really like to try. Which also got me thinking to bring back Brandy Alexanders this holiday season 🥃🍸

"On the morning of the fine spring day, full of sunshine, that ended with my arrest in Gaza, I woke early from an uneven sleep, dressed, and pushed back to its proper place the desk meant to barricade the door of my hotel room."
Ok, a #BookSpinBingo book for another bingo that I actually have not read ?

Easiest bingo I ever got! Started this book over coffee this morning only to get to page 5 of the introduction to see an underline. So I flip through, and yup, I already read this 🤦🏻♀️🤣 It is relieving to know that I at least remember read books once I start to re-read them.

It was a little all over the place, too drawn-out, and not quite about what the synopsis says it's about. And if I wasn't too lazy to decide on a different book, it would've been a DNF.

When I read The Eighty-Dollar Champion, last month, there was mention of the how and why Black Beauty came to be written. I decided it was finally time to read this book I've had since I was about 8.
This isn't my genre of choice, but I thought it would be more character driven than plot driven given the unusual age of the woman. Definitely a case of it's the reader, not the book.

@Eggs thanks for the tag 🧡🤎🧡
📖 Snow days (like the one currently happening 😁), early AMs and late PMs when all the house is asleep
📖📖 I don't really have one outside of reading down my TBR shelves to make room for the TBR piles that are taking over my living room 😅

Post morning workout activity 😊

I really wanted to like this end of life story, but the writing style was so distracting that I found it hard to stay in the story.

Stephen King - My first auto-buy author. I've been reading his books for so long that I can't remember life without him💞
Bridge to Terabithia is October's winner, but Beach Music took the Bracket.

A beautiful fall morning for outdoor reading 🍁😊
It's a good, solid Jill Shalvis story complete with likable characters, humor, banter, and found family. However, I found myself getting impatient with "the formula" plot. Time for a break. I did get a #BookSpinBingo though, so woohoo!
