1) I always decorate, even the years I lived in a tenement with neither room nor money for a tree. I made a flat tree out of cardboard scraps, cheap paint, & takeout containers.
2) Although I'm not Christian now, I still have a love for nativity scenes. We somehow have 7 of them!
3) Oldies are the best, traditional carols and classical. But I do have a soft spot for Willie's song “Pretty Paper“ about a street person.

I lost my sweet Willie today. It wasn't unexpected as he'd been sick for a long time and he was nearly 16, but I'm still heartbroken. I'm so tired and teary and really just need a good happy book (with no animals) I can listen to. All recommendations would be appreciated.
I‘m not really the target audience for e graphic memoir of Willie Nelson anyway but I was baffled by the use of so many different artists, complicating who the continuing characters were in the different sections. And the memoir itself seemed superficial to me. Full review at https://booknaround.blogspot.com/2021/08/review-willie-nelson-graphic-history-by...

This one falls into the completely random category. It did keep me mildly entertained & if I was more of a fan/follower I likely could/would have enjoyed it more.
OK, so this is sorta kinda book-related, and in this time of recognizing stellar small businesses it is definitely relevant.
I am tooting the horn of our very own @TheAromaofBooks and her small business on Etsy (link below). She makes absolutely GORGEOUS TN inserts (hand-sewn). Here‘s a pic of my second order and since I‘m a borderline notebook fanatic, I‘m sure I‘m not done. 😩🤷🏻♀️ THANK YOU, Sarah, for your excellent and creative ⬇️
This was a nice, light read. It would be great at Christmas. I wouldnt recommend it for anyone younger than teenage years. This was easy to read and made me feel like Id sat with the author and listened to him tell it.

Willie mixes fiction and truth to tell the story behind his famous song. It left me wondering how much of it is true. Not what I was expecting when I picked it up, but I enjoyed it.
“When it‘s on us, seems like the storm will never pass. But it always does.”
I‘m not some massive #WillieNelson fan, but I enjoyed the hell out of his story. Prior to this, I was not familiar with his early career at all. I didn‘t realize he was such a prolific songwriter. His long career and tumultuous personal life are definitely worth your time. It will surprise no one that he‘s an amazing storyteller.
