Homegrown Terror, my pick for #BestofSeptember & #FavoritesofFall
Reading it was engrossing, intriguing & persuasive. A history particular to CT Revolutionary period. Author uses the lens of the Burning of New London & the Battle of Groton Heights, his hometown area, to reimagine/rename Benedict Arnold as a more of a terrorist rather than traitor.

My husband made maple walnut ice cream with caramelized walnuts. Best treat in a day more like summer than fall. ❤️❤️❤️
Almost halfway through this book. Discovering CT history new to me, Regarding people & places involved in Revolutionary War.

All I want to do is sleep- no breeze as a saving grace, so when I try to read, I doze. Bird songs lull me as well. I finally got 3 little pumpkins yesterday, but does not feel fallish at all! ☀️☀️🐦

No #chapter20 so this is #page20.
"Though his first home in eastern Connecticut was now a center of seditious activity, Arnold could hardly have picked a better city to find radical politics, full of Enlightenment hallmarks like newspapers, coffeehouses, and an educated population." (city was New Haven) Always ☕️☕️☕️☕️!!

My pleasure reading has slowed down now that I am teaching, and also because I have been watching Vietnam on PBS each night since Sunday.
Only 30 pages into this but fascinating synopsis of CT people, places in colonial, pre revolutionary & Revolutionary history as related to Benedict Arnold. Enjoying learning about my state.

Had to return books to two different town libraries- so of course I picked up a few books. Restrained myself as I have HUGE TBR & two book club books to read this month. Just joined a new book club (offshoot of one I started with a friend & was in for 16 yrs, but left due to work/family obligations) this month so a little nervous about the obligation but excited to be in monthly discussions!
