He was held up three days at Columbus because the ferry cable had broken, and so he watched from under a verandah roof....

They spoke of little things, things that mattered. The death of a baby from fever, that Jameson's mare had come home herself after being sto- len, that a man had come who read aloud from newspapers gathered from the entire world over, including stories of polar explorers and sinking ships in the Atlantic Ocean...

Deckled edges. 😀

I picked up 3 books at #TexasBookFestival this year. Can‘t wait to read them all! (Though I also just got Iron Flame and Bookshops & Bonedust should be here tomorrow, so I don‘t know what order I‘ll get to them!)📚 I had a fun time at the fest even though it was chilly and drizzly.

I also saw Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah talk about Chain-Gang All-Stars, but it was in a theater and they didn‘t allow photos.

Historical fiction mixed with a bit of mystery and the western genre. Post-Civil War, Union soldier John Chenneville returns home, broken and shell shocked. Upon discovering the murder of his sister and family, Chenneville hunts the man responsible through a pre-Reconstruction south. Encountering struggling characters along the way, this is a reflection of the era of the aftermath of war and its victims in American history.

𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 by 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐉𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬, author of 𝘕𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, published on 09/12/23. I'm looking forward to reading it, courtesy of Bibliolifestype & William Morrow Books. I love historical fiction, & am fascinated by the Civil War & Reconstruction periods. 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 sounds perfectly enjoyable on a crisp autumn evening on the patio now that fall has officially arrived. 📖🌳🍁
