pickThis was light & funny, with the author adding her opinions into the mix and warning me not to make a strange concoction of tree roots and toadstools to prevent pregnancy, but I can't say these sex lives are a secret. There was insight into contraception, gender roles, adultery, sex acts, and the role religion played in said sex lives, but by the sound of it, there were a lot of court records cited, thus making me think it was all rather common ⬇️
pickThis audiobook contained both On Christmas Day in the Morning and On Christmas Day in the Evening. Both stories were sweet gentle reads about families and neighbors reconnecting on Christmas. They were written in 1908 and kind of reminded me of old radio soap operas my dad would listen to.

pickFirst book for #wintergames finished. A very good Christie, with Poirot being called in after a patriarch is murdered on Christmas Eve when all his family is home. Great suspects. I agree, @tdrosebud , this is a really good one. #mistletoemaniacs 26 pts @Clwojick

My #BookSpinBingo card for December is ready.
The empty spaces for books 16, 13 and 20 represent library books that I can‘t extend and I‘m not sure I‘ll get to them in time. So these might be switched and I want to write in the correct book.
I‘ve already started my #BookSpin book - a tribute to the Christmas tree. I‘m also looking forward to my #DoubleSpin - another Christmas book.
Fun fact: the corset as we know it today was NOT around during medieval times, but ⬇️ now
Dumb fact: The courts believed that pregnancy only happened between two willing partners so good luck proving rape if you had a bun in the oven.
I'll leave the dirty bits for you to uncover. A quick listen if this sort of thing intrigues you as it does me.
