2020 BOOK 2 | I chose to read "Alice Parker's Metamorphosis" because of the beautiful cover, and because metamorphosis is apropos for the New Year. The New Year brings about new beginnings and evolving into something different and better. 🍓SPOILER ALERT (BUT NOT REALLY!) 🍊 🍎Alice, a 13 year old girl, went through a mind-boggling transformation. All of a sudden, she has a bottomless appetite and most especially ravenous for fruits. She develped an unexplainable intellectual prowess overnight and started to feel really bad back pain. 🍎 🍌 🍅All of these were leading up to Alice's transformation (or metamorphosis) as a Finwip. Finwips are people with wings. They were previously known as fairies or woodland folks but do not dare call them that! They also live aboveground as humans owning businesses such as bake shops, cafes , art studios, etc. 🍄 🍄 🍄 While reading this book I was transported into the underground land of magic with magical folks including unicorns, a castle and an enchanted forest. With the story set around Christmas time made it more enchanting. 🍄 🍄 🍄 Branded as children's book but it is well-written with a very engaging plot that it will wake up the child in every adult. And no, it is NOT a Harry Potter copycat. Alice is a strong girl (although whiny!). Along with her loyal non-Finwip friend Sarah who was embracing every magical moment as they went on their adventures, they turned out to be heroines in the end and saved their underground world. 🍄 🍄 🍄 I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I am also delighted to discover that I can comfortably read ebooks on my phone instead of bringing my Kindle on the train on my way to work. 😊 This book is currently $0.99 on Amazon. 🍍🍎#bookstagram #middlegradebooks #aliceparkersmetamorphosis #enchantingreads #bookreview #readingforfun #nicolapalmerwriter #childrensfiction #fantasyandmagic #suspense

2020 BOOK 1 | First book.that I finished in 2020 although I started this #cozymystery last December. I spent part of my Christmas Day cozying up by the #fireplace enjoying this book while the BF was taking a nap right next to me. ❄The ladies at Cackleberry Club solved yet another murder mystery while dishing up delicious farm to table brunch at their cafe/knitting nook. The scene of the crime was a rehearsal for the town's Christmas Carol where the character playing Scrooge was stabbed to death by a "ghost" right in front of everyone. People thought that it was part of the act. This predictedly prompted Suzanne, cafe proprietress and amateur sleuth, to try to find the killer. The rest of the story was a delicious holiday frenzy of holiday afternoon tea, wine and cheese party, ski fundraiser and foray into the casino. ❄Eggs On Ice was definitely a cozy holiday and winter read. Another guilty reading pleasure for me. It is a Nancy Drew for adults. ❄#cozymysteries #laurachilds #cackleberryclubmystery #holidayread #winterread #bookstagram #eggsonice

Toasting the end of 2019 and welcoming all the BFF adventures that are in store for us in 2020! So grateful for the blessings of our beautiful friendship this past decade and so excited for the new year and new decade! #bffmoments #hotchocolate and #cappuccino #holidayinsanfrancisco #ghirardelli @trilogymom

2019 BOOK 30 | "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." 🎄 🎄 🎄 I finished reading "The Christmas Cookie Shop" in time for today, Christmas Day. It was a magical read set in fictional Christmas Town, Tennessee where every one was kind and has a strong sense of community. Hannah inherited her grandmother's cookie shop that sold the magical Virginia Cookies. The cookies were named after Hannah's great grandmother, Virginia O'Hanlon who wrote to the New York Sun Post's editor in 1897 when she was 8 years old if there was really a Santa Claus. (This event is real and has become a popular folklore in the United States.)🎄 🎄 The cookies were magic and ignited love and passion in anyone who would eat them resulting in romances and marriages. However, the cookie recipe was missing. The townspeople also wanted Hannah to stay to reopen the shop as it was Christmas Town's legacy. The shop needed a lot of work and Hannah is a poor starving student and did not have the funds.🎄 🎄 Town people slyly concocted a plan to help Hannah, Virginia cookie recipe was found, Hannah and the sheriff fell in love , and everyone was happy. There is plenty of snow, Christmas cheers, festivities and kittens named Jingle and Belle.🎄 🎄I really enjoyed this book as a #christmasread. I will definitely read the next book next Christmas, God-willing, which is about Hannah's brother and her friend in Christmas Town. 🎄 🎄 🎄 #thechristmascookieshop #ginnybaird #holidayread #christmasreads #bookstagram #booksandcookies MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄🎅🎁🍪
