I meant to post this last night, but better late than never! 🦃 #ttt #takethreethursday
I actually didn‘t think my score would be this high and I definitely had to guess at some of the questions. But I do like to use the holiday to recognize my blessings and focus on gratitude! And Thanksgiving food is so delicious! 😋
pickI have now finished the series! (I didn‘t read them in order)
The story about the dog had me crying!

I‘ve said in a previous post that I love when I find plants growing out of rocks, and it‘s just a bonus when that happens near water! I love being by the water…I find it very soothing.

pickPretty cute retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, with a good side dish of spice!

so-soOnly about the last 30-40 minutes were set at Thanksgiving, so I feel like I was mislead by the title! Tanzy runs a no-kill dog shelter on a shoestring budget, and when new guy Jake comes to town, she falls for him even though there‘s something mysterious about him.
#bookspinbingo
Fun little quiz! But IMO, it‘s a travesty that The Holiday, Christmas Vacation, and Die Hard (which is a Christmas movie and I will die on that hill) were not represented. 🤣🎄
#ttt #takethreethursday
so-soI don‘t know why but this one was a slog for me to get through. I was never too excited to return to after putting it away. It just seemed so slow! The MMC is autistic, and I do appreciate the representation. It was handled really well!
#bookspinbingo
Just watched the new Frankenstein movie on Netflix. I‘m a huge fan of the book and this adaptation skewed pretty far from the source material. I wish it had been truer to the book! But it‘s beautifully shot, and Jacob Elordi was brilliant as the Creature.
pickCute collection of “scary” stories for kids!
Not too bad! It was fun to exercise my brain for a few minutes! #ttt #takethreethursday
pickSet during Thanksgiving weekend, the whole Ryan family comes together for the first time in years. The 3 sisters all have secrets and troubles they‘re dealing with, but the present is plagued by an incident that happened 13 years ago, for the sisters and their parents. The story is told from the POV of each sister. A solid family drama!

pickListened to this short story immediately after finishing book 2 today. It covers Millie and Enzo‘s wedding day, and someone begins stalking Millie. So addicted to this series!
#bookspinbingo
pickSo good and twisty! Just as wild and addictive as the first book. I really like Millie…she‘s pretty badass!

pickCame across this Thanksgiving novella on Chirp. It sounded cute so I thought why not? Skye, a flight attendant, has been warned by several attendants to stay away from River, a handsome cocky pilot, because he‘s nothing more than a player. When a snowstorm strands them at a hotel over Thanksgiving, Skye starts to doubt the rumors about River.

so-soLily, a wizard, is drawn into her witch friend Sebastian‘s plan to undo an ancient curse on an old estate, one that causes anyone who lives there misfortune and eventual death. That storyline ended with an epilogue, then a whole new story started, one in which a small town was caught in a time loop, and Lily and Sebastian have to save the town. It was just a disconnect to me and took away enjoyment from the main story.
#bookspinbingo - 3rd bingo!
pickI love AH and this was a cute short story about a vampire and her slayer. Perfect for this time of year!
#bookspinbingo - free space and got a bingo!
so-soWhen I bought this book I didn‘t know it was a series (this is book 2) but I wasn‘t confused or felt like I was missing something. It‘s sweet with a bit of spice, and I enjoyed it, but I‘m not chomping at the bit to read any of the others (there are 8 books total).

This is this year‘s carved pumpkin!
pickLucy lives in the quintessential NE town and works at her mom‘s cozy coffee shop, but has attitude about pumpkin spice lattes, which her shop doesn‘t serve. She‘s caught the attention of Jack, the new boy in town. But when Lucy finds out that Jack‘s parents own a national chain of coffee shops, the one responsible for the PSL craze, and their newest location is across the street from her coffee place, it‘s game on!

Me and hubby went on a nature walk today so I could get some pics of the changing leaves. 🍁
I‘ll have to sparse them out in terms of posting! 🤣

pickNot my favorite Lapena book, but it is a page turner! I wish the resolution was less ambiguous. Stephanie and Patrick are happily married with newborn twin girls. The babies are colicky and none of them are sleeping well. Enter Erica, someone from Patrick‘s past, who accuses him of killing his first wife ten years ago. Stephanie starts to doubt her husband, and doesn‘t know who to believe.

Tried to post this last night but I couldn‘t get on Litsy for some reason. 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks @dabbe for the tag! I‘m not much of a horror reader so I‘m not surprised at my score. 😂
3 faves: Frankenstein (always!), Gone Girl, Rebecca

panVi, a twenty-something who‘s been dumped and lost direction in her life, finds a sentient blob in an alley and takes it home. She then decides to mold it into the perfect man. This was weird and quirky and really boring! Vi is pretty unlikable and very uninteresting. This could have been so much more, so much hilarity could‘ve ensued, but it fell flat for me.

so-soThis was a story-within-a-story situation, so between all the characters and the two stories, it was just a lot to keep up with! And I didn‘t really like the ending. I didn‘t love this one but didn‘t hate it either.

so-soThe cover is gorgeous! But this was just okay for me. There‘s a lot of characters to keep up with and I never got invested in the MC.

What a fun survey! Got a flashback to my childhood with the Atomic Fireballs and SweetTarts. 😂
I scored 81%, so not bad! My current 3 faves are gummy bears, Reese‘s, and Junior Mints. 😋
Was kinda surprised that conversation hearts wasn‘t on there! If you want to play, consider yourself tagged! 🏷️
pickMila, a single witch feeling lonely over the holidays, brews up a love potion on Christmas Eve, that will make her fall in love with the first man she sees. Next thing she knows, she‘s being arrested for murder by Riley, a wizard police officer. They form a connection, but Mila wonders if it‘s real or if it‘s because of the love potion. A paranormal romance with a dash of cozy mystery and was so cute!
#bookspinbingo-my #bookspin for this month
I haven‘t read the whole series (I should do that!) but I love Sally and Gillian Owens. And the two aunts! The dynamic between them is so good. 🧙🏻♀️
#sundayfunday
pickNormally, I don‘t like character driven novels but I was pretty engrossed in this one! It is a good book, but Queen Meryl‘s narration put it over the top. During the pandemic, Lara‘s 3 daughters return to the family‘s cherry orchard to help with the harvest, and they beg her to tell the story of the summer she dated a famous movie star and worked as an actress.

I‘m going to say any/all of the Scream movies…Ghostface creeps me the hell out! 👻
My 16 yo loves all the movies, and I‘ve watched the newer ones with her. For a con last summer, she dressed as Ghostface, and she met Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard! But I had to ask her a few times to take off the mask 🤣

pickSo cute! Zelda, a witch with secrets, has been living a quiet life for the last decade. Peter, a vampire with amnesia, shows up at Zelda‘s door with a letter from her old friend Reggie, asking her to help Peter. Peter‘s journal full of cryptic notes is the only thing they have to possibly help regain his memory, so they hit the road and follow the clues.
