Finished my #bookspin #doublespin pick for the month of May. The idea behind the book was good (senior year scavenger hunt competition), but the writing wasn't great. However, this has been on my shelf for years and I'm so glad I finally read it. #MountTBR #bookspinbonanza

This also earned me my Squire status and a goat in the #medievalathon

This is as much a cookbook to curl up in bed with, as it is to cook from. Gorgeous photos, beautifully honest memoir sections with a dose of dark humor, and the kind of recipes you give up a whole day to. They are often real projects, with many homemade components, that will fill your home with amazing aromas, and give so much comfort and joy, in both preparing and eating. I wish I had more time to dedicate to this kind of cooking.... #oneday 😍

Cinfhen Looks fantastic 💓 4y

#RedRoseSeptember
Growing up near Brighton, every Friday night we had a #Chippytea picked up by my dad on his way home from work, and eaten straight from the newspaper at the kitchen table, dowsed in lots of onion vinegar (the vinegar from the picked onion jar)😋🐟📰
So in honor of my dad, this is the first book in his favorite local detective series, still going strong at book #26! I‘ll read it #oneday, seeing as it‘s set where I‘m from.😊

Cathythoughts Brilliant post 👍🏻♥️ 5y
Ms_T Lots of nostalgia for you there! Great post 😃 5y
Cinfhen Awwww, I‘m missing home for you❤️I‘d love to visit you in Brighton and hang with your dad 😁 5y

EadieB @Cinfhen I‘ve read that one and getting ready to read book 2. 5y
KarenUK @cinfhen ..... now that would be lovely! 💕 5y
Cinfhen Wouldn‘t it !?!?!?! (edited) 5y
gradcat @KarenUK & @Cinfhen Great Post! I‘ve read the first three of them, but then I guess I got sidetracked. I can‘t believe there are 26!! I had no idea! ♥️ (edited) 5y
Crazeedi @Cinfhen @gradcat @EadieB @Andrew65 @TrishB @KarenUK great post, and I haven't read this series! 5y
TrishB Lovely post ❤️ I am up to date in this series @Cinfhen 🎉🎉 5y
Andrew65 Love this book series, one of my favourites. Unfortunately as currently suffering with gall bladder issues cannot have fish and chips and I so love them, and especially by the sea! 5y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi @gradcat @EadieB @TrishB @KarenUK @Cinfhen Unfortunately I am totally up to date on this series. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 so the problem is your gall bladder? 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 Poor you! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB It looks like that! Testing for biliary colic and gall stones! Which are both affecting the liver. Did second set of blood tests this week today, got another blood test next week. Waiting for ultra sound scan date and got endoscopy next Saturday so feeling a bit sorry for myself, not to mention the pain. 😔 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Thanks, but possibly feeling too sorry for myself! At least when at work kept busy and keeps my mind off it. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 So sorry to hear that you have to go through all of those tests etc. Not fun! Hope they solve your problem and you are feeling better soon! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Yes, fingers crossed, and thanks. Hope they can solve it quickly. Not the best thing on the first week of a school year! 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Definitely not! Good that you have your deputy to help you. But bad that she is so new and probably needs your direction. 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Thankfully so far just been missing for small bits of the day for tests. Just not as far on as I‘d like to be. Better now than last year. (edited) 5y
LeahBergen Yum!! I‘m craving a chippy tea now! 5y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 oh man that is no fun, I had that and needed up have gall bladder removed. Hope you find some answers 5y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi Thanks, definitely agree about being no fun! Just in waiting game for scan at moment. Apparently urgent only means likely to be some time in the next two weeks! 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 I hope you get seen to sooner rather than later...isn‘t that painful? 😣 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Thanks. Yes! Although pain going up and down. Bigger problem is what can develop from it. 🤞 Eating a very bland diet which will hopefully be less painful. 5y

Double Indemnity | James M. Cain
post image

#anglophileapril

(Day 7 - #TaintedLove)

*This movie is most definitely an example of “tainted love.” It came from the tagged novella by James M. Cain. It‘s such an oldie but goodie; I highly recommend the movie if you‘ve never seen it.

Palimpsest I adore Barbara Stanwyck (edited) 5y
gradcat @Palimpsest I know! Wasn‘t she so great? Plus, Fred MacMurray really slays in that role! Who‘d‘ve thunk it—if you ever saw the tv show “My Three Sons”! 5y
Cinfhen My fabulous cohosts read the book for their family bookclub and all 3 loved the book!!! It‘s still on my #OneDay list 5y

emilyhaldi Yes!!!! Cindy is right, we loved this book 🤩 5y
rretzler Fantastic movie. Still haven‘t read the book - which is unusual for me. 5y
rretzler 💕 My Three Sons! 5y
Mdargusch I almost used this book for the prompt too! Perfect! 5y
Reviewsbylola Loved this book. Cain is awesome. 5y
kspenmoll Great movie! 5y
gradcat @Cinfhen You really must read it...then watch the movie...or vice versa...I think either way is fine, so long as you do it, right @emilyhaldi @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola ? 😂👍 5y
gradcat @kspenmoll @rretzler I think you can be forgiven for not reading the book in this case, because the movie is just that good. The book is rather short, if I‘m remembering correctly...I believe it‘s a novella. 5y
gradcat @rretzler I forgot to mention my happiness over someone knowing “My Three Sons!” 😂🥰👍 5y
rretzler 😂 My Three Sons was one of my favorite shows back in the day! 5y

#TimbitTunes The tagged book has been lingering in my #BookOutlet cart for months. It‘s a book I want to read but don‘t want to read because I‘m sure it‘s going to be so heartbreaking. It was a #BlackDayInJuly when JFK Jr plane disappeared after a stormy night takeoff. Carole Radziwill was a close friend of the couple & they were related through marriage. It‘s her account of this tragedy coupled with the illness of her husband.

LeahBergen That seems like yesterday. 😩 5y
Cinfhen 1999 @LeahBergen crazzzy!!!!! 5y
Crazeedi This was just a tragedy 5y

Cinfhen Yes, it‘s a moment you don‘t forget @Crazeedi like when Princess Diana was killed or you learned Michael Jackson has passed away😢😢😢 And obviously the towers falling will forever be etched in my psyche 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It‘s so sad, but so good!! 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen you forgot Prince💜 5y
Cinfhen You‘re right!! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks but I honestly don‘t remember where I was when I heard about Prince. 5y
Sweettartlaura You know his aunt, Lee Radziwill, just died, yes? Jackie‘s younger sister. 5y
BarbaraBB Did Lady Diana‘s death make such an impression in the States? I wouldn‘t have imagined! And yes, I too can remember exactly where I was when hearing of her death, Michael Jackson‘s and 9/11 😢 5y
Cinfhen Yes, I saw that @Sweettartlaura Lee Radziwill was Carole‘s MIL. 5y
Cinfhen Yes!!!! It was massive in the states @BarbaraBB Diana was so beloved 😍 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen I was at work 😭😭😭 we all made little symbols for our badges !! (edited) 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @BarbaraBB it did on me,,, I remember where I was that night too... 😭😭😭 5y
TrishB This does seem like yesterday 😔 time flies.... 5y
KarenUK I did actually buy it from book outlet but now it‘s lingering on my shelves for the same reason!#infinitetissueread 😢 5y
Reviewsbylola Amazing book! I still remember when I first heard his plane went missing. I need to reread this one. 5y
