I've been forgetting to post my #BookspinBingo lists lately. 😅

Here's my December list. I have a multitude of christmas or winter books to choose from, so I'll go with mood reading for this month.

I have buddyreads for #NaturaLitsy #VirginiaBloomsberries #BookedInTime #SheSaid #AAM #LosersClub #HashtagBrigade #QueerBC 📚

Starting with the tagged. 🙂

This was okay. Many interesting ideas about time travel and how you would view the time before. I thought there were some ideas not explored enough (I kept thinking about smells which he barely mentioned). It is interesting to read something written 50 years ago that is a time travel book , you have to "travel" back to the 70s to think about what he would know and how different another 80 years would be.
Kindred ruined me for these types ?

ChaoticMissAdventures Of books. Nothing is ever as good. This was one of my #25in25 and a Guilded Age #bookedintime @Cuilin though he compares the time period I didn't feel I grossed in 1882. 2d
TheKidUpstairs The smells! So right! I remember a theatre history prof asked what we would notice first if we were transported back to the time of Shakespeare, we all had our various answers but then she put it to us that the first thing anyone would notice would be the smells. I've never forgotten that lesson and always take particular notice when historical fiction authors take the time to describe the smell of a place/time, it adds so much to the atmosphere! 2d
ChaoticMissAdventures @TheKidUpstairs I am fairly sensitive to smells and while he sort of mentioned it I just keep thinking it is what would distract me the most. All the horses, the people who do not have modern toothpaste and only bath once a week or so? He doesn't talk at all about bathrooms, which might be a male overlook thing. One thing he focuses on that I don't think about is he believes food tastes better back then. 2d
Cuilin So interesting, great review!! 2d

#BookedInTime #BookedInTimeDecember2025

“La Belle Époque translates to "the beautiful era," a period of French and European history from roughly 1871 to 1914, defined by optimism, peace, and prosperity, though not without its own social and political tensions. It was a time of cultural, scientific, and technological advancements, including the development of Impressionism, and the construction of the Eiffel Tower. What are you reading?

November 2025 New York Gilded Age
I knew very little about this topic. The history of electricity, the battle between AC and DC. I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend checking it out.

Cuilin Sounds fabulous!!! ✅🎉 Love this post pic. (edited) 3d
dabbe On the spreadsheet! 💙❄️🩵 3d

#WeeklyForecast is "Too many books, too little time"

Tagged needs to go back to the library soon so have started it, I am 30 pages in and unsure.

Private Revolutions is a Women's Prize long list and I am still in Nonfiction November so going to get through that. Time and Again doubles and both a #10BeforeTheEnd and #BookedInTime read.

We will see how the US holiday week goes!

Ruthiella I usually think I‘m going to read more than I actually do on these long weekends! 😂 1w
sarahbarnes Too many books too little time is the story of my week too 😆 1w
willaful That's always the weather around here! 1w
BarbaraBB A lot of books 😉 1w

Interesting history of not only the family, but also, the Gilded Age, and NYC. It helped me make better sense of 'The Swans of Fifth Avenue' by Melanie Benjamin.

Up next for #BookedInTime #BookedInTimeNovember2025 . It's set a little outside the guilded age years but I think 1905 is considered guilded age still to some - close enough anyways. I've heard good things about this book and even the librarian commented on it when I checked it out so looking forward to this read! Hoping to start it later this evening.

Very repetitive and slow, but the early medieval history was interesting.
