Traci1 @Catsandbooks it was very odd and old fashioned. It was a grandmother telling a story to her 6 and 8 year old grandchildren. The story was about a preacher and bartender who swapped places. It involved bikers and strippers, and the 8 year old explained what a strip club was to the 6 year old. And then it was really preachy. The moral was you shouldn't judge people but it felt very judgy. It was short, though, so a good one I guess to try her out. 16h
JenReadsAlot I think I have this one on my kindle.... 16h
Catsandbooks @Traci1 😬😬 oh boy tells you not to judge but then judges the whole time...yikes 16h
Traci1 @JenReadsAlot you may like it. Seems like she has loads of fans, so maybe it's just me. 🤷‍♀️ 16h
JenReadsAlot I think I've read a couple before but clearly they are not memorable! 16h
CogsOfEncouragement I enjoy her Cedar Cove series when I just want an easy, happy read. I‘ve read a couple of her stand alones too and gave them just 2⭐️ though. lol 15h
TheAromaofBooks She frequently has premises that I think I will like, but they never seem to actually work for me. A lot of her books feel more outline-y to me than an actual book. But a lot of people love her! 14h
BookmarkTavern At least it‘s finished! 😅 9h

Cute and festive mystery. My only real complaint is that the narrator is different from the last one of these I read, and while she does a fine job, it was a little jarring, the difference in the secondary characters particularly.

How to Be an Antiracist | Ibram X. Kendi
post image
Pickpick

Finished the last 25% of this yesterday so the first book of #WinterGames completed! Even though I read most of it in November #SantasBookshELVES
This was a truly informative read that really helps you reevaluate your thoughts about race and breaks down racist ideas into their component parts. Kendi weaves his own story throughout and details how he is continually working to overcome his own racist ideas

Maybe not as much fun as the first Appeal book, but still really enjoyable. Audio was a little hard to follow an epistolary format, so I'd recommend this in print form.

Bookwormjillk Oh darn I have this on audio 2d
Traci1 @Bookwormjillk I still liked it a lot. But I normally do other stuff while I listen like dishes or whatever, and I couldn't do anything else especially in the beginning because I kept losing track of who was "speaking." 2d
Andrew65 Well done. I can well imagine this format was difficult to follow on audio. I sometimes have issues where books have chapters based on different characters or different timelines. 2d

Traci1 @Andrew65 exactly. It was all emails and texts. Which is inventive and fun, but it's easy to get lost if you aren't paying really close attention. 2d
Ruthiella I read the first one in print and would probably read this in physical form too because of its epistolary nature. 2d
BookmarkTavern I love the coloring on this cover! 22h

Day one of Winter Games
3.5🌟
A confirmed bachelor finds love and forgiveness in this clean, regency romance.
It Happened on 5th Avenue a classic #holidaymovie I've never seen before. I would recommend it.

This was a pick with a big BUT. I picked this up expecting a light festive mystery with a few Christie references. While I enjoyed the setting and the mystery was pretty good, it was very dark. Themes of physical and sexual assault are prevalent. The fact that it's even Christmas seems more an afterthought than anything else. So, I liked it well enough, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 Sounds quite heavy for a Christmas reference. 2d
Ruthiella I think I would have been taken aback also. I need to be a little mentally prepared for dark stuff. 2d
PuddleJumper I thought the same thing. Her other book is much lighter so I wasn't prepared for the darker themes 2d
Traci1 @PuddleJumper that's funny because I was on hold for another of hers and I cancelled it because I wasn't in the mood for more darkness. Maybe I'll hop back in line. It was The Christmas Murder Game. 2d
RaeLovesToRead There was just too much sexual assault in this for a book with Festive Anagrams. Very tonally jarring. I enjoyed Xmas Murder Game (silly, but fun), and I'll be reading the 3rd one this year... 2d

Ugh. This was awful. Like just terrible. No chemistry between these two horrible people, and no festive atmosphere at all.

Texreader Ahhh. But lots of points. So a plus side nonetheless! 3d
AnnR Awww, sorry the story wasn't good. I think some of the newer holiday romances and cozies can be 'iffy' in the story development department. Cheers on all the points you got though! 👍🎉🎄 3d
TheAromaofBooks Oh no! At least it's off the list!! 3d
PuddleJumper Yay points! Sad the book wasn't any good 3d
