1. Mexico's history
2. When visiting Chapultepec in Mexico City, it was fascinating to learn a brief history of the castle, which made me realize that I don't know much about Mexico between the years after conquest & before Mexican revolution.

Reorganized my book shelves and found some that needed a new home. I donated some of them to nearby Little Free Libraries.

so-soFinished reading this book today and I have more questions than answers. There were a lot of character introductions and world building but not too much of a plot. However, I am intrigued to find out what will happen to Ciri that I'll give the next book a chance. Now, I am to watch the series. 3⭐

I had so much fun in participating in #WinterGames2021 hosted by @StayCurious and @Clwojick 😊. I didn't think I was going to do good but I ended up surprising myself. I've let work take over my life and have stopped reading. The games ignited my passion again and have reminded that I CAN find time to read. I am looking forward to 2022!

so-soHere's my last read of 2021. This was a strange story that did not really have a plot. It was about people, strangers and old acquaintances, spending Christmas at an inn in a small town. The people arrived sad or stressed but by Christmas, they were happy. Don't read this book on an empty stomach! The majority of it was descriptions of the meals being served. 3⭐ #WinterGames2021 #teamgamesleighers @StayCurious #BookSpinBingo #20 @TheAromaofBooks
How we're celebrating for the new year: Vietnamese food, champagne, & board games.

My heart breaks with the news but I am still in awe of the life Betty lead. She was and continues to be an inspiration. RIP Betty White.

pickFound this in my Nook TBR and decided to pick it up. It was short but entertaining. Starr was a modern version of Scrooge. Her birthday was on Christmas but she hadn't had many great Birthday Christmas celebrations. I did not see the Cinderella connection but I did enjoy its retelling of The Christmas Carol. 4⭐

pickPicked up this children's book in Spanish to help me ease in when I start reading in Spanish again. This was a well done nonfiction book on the soccer player, Cristiano Ronaldo. It was easy to understand yet it was informative for the age group. 3.5 ⭐

pickRead this cute children's book based on Columbian New Year's traditions. I enjoyed the Spanglish and the little girl's growth.
I also filled the Bingo card! Woo hoo!

pickThis was a quick and fun mystery book. Though I was a little surprised how the main character Emma was "allowed" to help solve the mystery, it was still an enjoyable read. 3.5 ⭐

We're vacationing in New Mexico right now. We found these snowmen while walking in the historic area of Mesilla. #WinterGames2021 #teamgamesleighers #FestivePhotoChallenge @StayCurious
Sounds about right...

pickThis was a re-read for me after 20 years. I still liked it and I was able to share the journey with my husband. We were on the edge of our seats with Dana's time travel & my heart broke every atrocity described in the book. 4.5 ⭐
