pickFinally posting a much-belated review of this classic—getting back on Litsy after the holiday rush! This was a lovely holiday read—basically a retelling of the movie. I‘d hoped for a little “more” than the movie, perhaps a deeper look into Doris or Fred, but I enjoyed the simple, sweet, heartwarming story. I‘m glad the #ibelieveibelieve buddy read got me to pull it out of the Christmas books & read it this year (unlike the other book pictured!)
I finished this a few days ago and enjoyed it. Now I want to watch the old movie. 😊🎄 #IbelieveIbelieve
pickGood times with this buddy read! I remembered the remake movie, while just seeing the original this year for the first time! 🙂 I wondered a bit (after the movie) if some parts summarized by, but all was well done, within my shorter time through the winter work and shopping days. I enjoyed it!

I hadn't heard of "sob-sisters" before so I looked it up. Term for women journalists who cover trials.
Yes Santa, I am still reading this book! Reading time is scarce these days!

pickHi I LOVED this. I normally don‘t like the film (it feels forced?) but this novelization was perfect and helped infuse me with some much needed Christmas spirit. #ibelieveibelieve #wintergames #teamfozziwig #holidayread

After a busy weekend, I‘m catching a few moments tonight between work and my EfM group at church, to get a quick start on this one for the #ibelieveibelieve buddy read! My copy is the 1947 edition—I love old books with inscriptions from previous owners!
Started my buddy read at karate class this evening. Seems appropriate as, on the way here, my 8 year-old informed me he believes in Santa but NOT elves or reindeer. Sounds like a smart insurance policy. 😏

I'm starting in with the Miracle on 34th Street buddy read. I'll have this coming week mostly home, on easy reading time. 🤓 Today at the lakeside restaurant (I'm with kitchen staff) they'll have Santa in for the kids, with our bakery cook's best gingerbread cookies!

Repost for @merelybookish :
We've seen the movie! Let's read the book it's based on! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
This is a casual buddy read. That means there's no set schedule or discussion questions. I've selected Dec 15 as the kick-off date, but start earlier or later, it's up to you!
