Early morning read & coffee.
It‘s a cold 45 degrees, pouring rain. Reading about a garden & love in midst of war makes me feel hope for sunshine.

The Lost Garden: A Novel | Helen Humphreys

pick

My intro to Helen Humphrey. She was recommended by my cousin (more specifically Followed by the Lark, but this was the first book of hers I could get my hands on). I loved this so much! surprisingly so! It gave me an entirely new (more intriguing) direction for my own gardens 🌷🪻 and for such a short book I cried several times 😢
I‘ve since picked up more of her work. And bonus that she‘s a 🇨🇦 author from a town near by.

TheKidUpstairs Love this book. And Helen Humphreys in general. I've heard great things about Lark, but haven't read it yet. My favourites are this one and

Bookish.SAM Thanks for the recommendation @TheKidUpstairs 🙂 I have a feeling I‘ll really enjoy making my way thru her work. I actually picked this one up for a friend who LOVES gardening, but i couldn‘t resist giving it a read. So happy I did! 2d

Sunday theatre with Daisy-May, who‘s decided she‘s tired of being upright and would like to sprawl on her awful couch for a few hours, thanks.

(The STORIES I could tell you about this couch! It‘s an atrocity. Those leather couches people leave by the curb as freebies and nobody ever actually picks up because they‘re AWFUL are nicer than this late Victorian piece to which my aunt is hopelessly attached.)

MacLeod is the master of the short story. Period. I loved this collection. Nothing more to be said really. #CanLit

The Girls | Lori Lansens

pick

A fictional story about conjoined twins growing up in Ontario, Canada. Despite the strangeness of the premise, the author makes the girls' lives seem ordinary (but still interesting) and relatable.

Rilla of Ingleside (Special Collector's) | Lucy Maud Montgomery

It‘s been a whirlwind week/weekend, but I made time today to finish my #reread of this wonderful book on audio. I had forgotten just how solemn and sad the entire story is. It is truly a novel of WWI on the Canadian home front with all of the stress and grief that includes. Yet, it also has those signature moments of pure beauty and humor that LMM writes so wonderfully. I loved revisiting this story.
