» No Snowflake related entry as I don't feel creative enough to think of something that fits. Perhaps Friday! I still want to go back and read all the entries for prior challenges. I may just do that in February.
Read:
I've only finished one book so far and it was an advent devotional, The Advent of Christ: Scripture Reflections to Prepare for Christmas by Edward Sri. I liked it well enough for what it's supposed to be.
Currently Reading:
You Learn by Living by Eleanor Roosevelt. This is technically a re-read for me. I didn't rate it too highly in 2018 (three stars), but I'm really enjoying reading it now. The subtitle is Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life, so I guess you could define it as a self-help book mixed with a memoir. I'm not usually a highlighter or someone jots down quotes, but I do want to go back and find some particular spots that I found myself nodding along with.
The Answer Is... by Alex Trebek. I'm listening to this book, which is mostly narrated by Ken Jennings. I'm not a fan of the format, which are short vignette-like chapters all with the titles "What Is__?". However, it does make it easier to put the book down, so to say, and pick it back up again without feeling lost. For a man so recognizable, I knew next to nothing about him, and I'm enjoying learning who he was when he wasn't the host of a TV show.
The Late Bloomers' Club by Louise Miller. I'm reading this along with the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club. It's a light and fluffy read, about a woman who inherits the estate of the local celebrated baker in their small town. It's full of small-town meddling and food. I have no strong opinion about it just yet.
HRH by Elizabeth Holmes. I'm reading this digitally, but I wish I could have a hardback copy because from what I've seen, this would be a gorgeous coffee table book. I'd say I'm neutral on the subject of the monarchy in general, but I have admired it from afar. I did get up early to watch both of the weddings and enjoyed myself immensely. I've heard some reviewers say that the book is written in a "chatty" tone, so I'll see if I agree with that or not. So far, I've only "flipped" through it to look at the photos.
