If Goodreads was purchased by Amazon, then it becomes a useless site. As i probably mentioned at the time, several of the Hofstetter books got bad reviews that were written in a style that was unmistakable - new account - reviewed a few other books so it seemed normal, and, of course, hasn't been back since.

Nothing on the docket for tomorrow specifically, other than a video call with Mom.

Someone at the church was handing out free kits, so tomorrow I may make a gingerbread house.

I used to make gingerbread houses from scratch.  I wish I had tried a kit.

Had two helpings of tuna pasta salad. I have to say, nothing is tasting very good to me.

That is not surprising.

That is the problem, they need a way to catch these people and remove the comments.

Hopefully publicity about the issues will make people more aware when reading reviews.

Bryan & Freyja cheered us up with photos and texts.  Freyja can text on Bryan's phone using the speach options.  She sort of designed a Christmas animal log and helped decorate it.  They used merengue to make mushrooms and animals.  It is very nice.

When Bryan was three he began his love of creating pretty cakes.  Our first cake was Cookie Monster.
