Reader. Obsessively so. Oh, and I have a bit of an obsession with Dutch things. But please don’t ever make me smell patchouli.
One of my favorite things to witness during this visit to the Netherlands was seeing a woman meet her love at the train station with confetti and a balloon & then turn around and pick up a brush and dust pan from the backpack she brought with her to clean up the confetti she threw in celebration. 🇳🇱

The one thing that blows my mind every time I’m in the Netherlands is how the tallest people in the world seem to compete and pride themselves for the smallest toilet rooms. 🇳🇱

Utrecht did not disappoint despite some rain. We even saw a festive SUPper on a canal.

Happy Sinterklaas Night to those who celebrate!

It was a bit of a sobering day today as we visited Westerbork. More than one hundred thousand Jews & Roma were transported from Westerbork to concentration and extermination camps. (Anne Frank was one of those who left Westerbork never to return to the Netherlands.)

I’ve been away so I may have missed the HEATED RIVALRY posts on #BookSky when the TV adaptation aired a few days ago, but the author’s words are spot on. Romance genre is disrespected. Romance readers are disrespected. Romance writers are disrespected. It’s a billion dollar industry. Respect it. 🌶️📚💙

When you visit a tiny library in a small town in the Netherlands and the book you have on hold at your US library is on the shelf with no waitlist but it’s in Dutch.

First leg of the trip and it looks like we’re leaving in a UFO.

My review of TIME TO SHINE by Rachel Reid is posted SG/IG. Landon is sent to the NHL when a back-up goalie is injured. He & his new teammate Casey quickly become friends. The friendship turns into love & they struggle when Landon’s sent back to the minors. Each has issues, but it’s a kind book. 🌶️📚💙

My review of WHEN SHADOWS FALL by @neillancaster66.bsky.social is on IG/SG. This is book 6 in the DS Max Craigie series. Women hiking the Scottish Highlands are falling at an unusual rate. Max is asked to do some investigating, but as the team looks into it, it may be darker than they imagined. ⚡️📚💙

The Canadian Pacific holiday train is across the river and Smash Mouth started with “Walking on the Sun” and followed it with “White Christmas.” And I keep thinking that song royalties must not be as great as I thought they were.

I feel like F1 is a front for money laundering. As I said last week, if you have to try this hard to be relevant, you ain’t cool or relevant.
Feels like a deep state conspiracy
