Hey all! I hope those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a wonderful holiday. Now that Thanksgiving is over, I feel like I can go all out on Christmas everything! We decorated and put up our tree this weekend, as the snow fell outside. However, that meant I had to move a ton of plants and now my office and kitchen look like mini-jungles. Which I am not upset about. We had originally planned to drive to Dayton, OH and hike a trail there that has a troll event happening. It looks so awesome! However, the weather forecast was not great and I didn’t want to spend three hours for just one way in a car if we were getting a blizzard. So, another time, hopefully.
Read Last Week:
I love this fun series! It was good to revisit the characters and their lives. And that awesome lighthouse library!
Reading This Week:
I am kicking off the winter reading season with this middle grade Christmas murder mystery. A tween British cozy! And I love this cover!
Posted Last Week:
Not much! Just two posts then I took the rest of the week off for the holiday.
Nonfiction November – Stranger than Fiction
Book Review: Ancestor Approved: Intertribal Stories for Kids
Watching:
We finished up the Great British Baking Show – I loved this season!! And the winner was my favorite all the way through, and I love when that happens! All the contestants in the final were phenomenal though. We are also watching Wheel of Time, which is excellent but I have never read the books so I can’t compare. My husband seems to be pretty happy with it though, and he read them all. We also finished up Schitt’s Creek. I have watched it at least twice before, but this was Billy’s first time watching and he is now a convert.
And that is it from our little corner of the Mitten! Hope you are all doing well.
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
I love the look of Mistletoe and Murder. I have been eyeing Wheel of Time, so I might have to check it out.
Here are my WEEKLY UPDATES

I am really enjoying it!! Well, both! Lol. Mistletoe and Murder is really well done – I think I needed a middle grade read to shake me out of my slump. And Wheel of Time is great! It reminds me of Lord of the Rings.

I heard about the snow and saw pictures. A friend of mine was visiting family in Ohio for the holiday. Beautiful but wow, it seems early. Have a great week!

It would have been such a fun time, but.. I just couldn’t imagine being three hours driving home in the dark and snow. It gives me a panic these days with Wyatt in the car. It is so pretty but tricksy!
Thank you! You too!

A troll event sounds amazing but I can understand not wanting to be 3 hours from home with a blizzard coming in. Mistletoe and Murder looks fantastic and I really need to start watching Schitt’s Creek. I love when a favorite wins on Great British Bakeoff. That makes it extra cozy. Have a great week.

The snow didn’t end up being too bad but I just didn’t want to chance it. 😦
I am really enjoying Mistletoe and Murder! I have been in a reading slump, and I think I just needed some fun little middle grade reads.
Now I can’t wait for the Christmas version of Bake Off! Lol.

The troll exhibition looks like it would be fun.
I love GBBO, I definitely think the winner was deserving but I was rooting for someone else.. I loved the update with ‘reunion tour’ photos.
Wishing you a great reading week

I always love the covers of cozies. What Shelleyrae said: the winner of the GBBO deserved it, but I had someone else in mind.

I read my first cozy in a while – these look like fun reads. I still have my tree to go up – can’t wait! What a fun event – never heard of a troll event – but safety comes first. So much changeable weather now. Happy reading!

The Eva Gates book and series sounds good – lighthouse library – well can’t pass that! I’ve seen others mention it. I haven’t watched schitt’s creek, looked at it for 5 minutes but I guess not really long enough to get into it.

We are planning to watch the finale of the Great British Baking Show tonight! I so hope my favorite baker wins.
That middle grade Christmas murder mystery looks fabulous! I am planning to kick off my December with The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe for the beginning of #Narniathon21. I’ve only read a couple of the books, and I’ve always been wanting an excuse to read them all.
Glad you didn’t get out in a blizzard, even for a very cool troll event!

That is so funny that you are going to read Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe because I am going to start it as a read aloud for Wyatt in December! I actually paused for a second wondering if I had mentioned it. Narniathon sounds interesting!
I am loving that middle grade murder mystery. So good!!!

Nice selection of books. We used to watch the Great British Baking Show but stopped in the middle of last season and haven’t started back up. Glad you were happy with the winner!
