I still owe a couple of days of backup haikus(in progress) but here is today‘s, written this morning & inspired by taking myself to breakfast with a view after a long tough week. Off now for a quick trip around the makers market & errands.

Not truly fictional, though it has an amazing story. I just saw it for the first time today in Alcoa, Tennessee and it is fascinating! Building began in 1936 to withstand the Armegeddon that William Nicholson believed was coming. In disrepair for years, it is currently being rennovated by Dean & Karen Fontaine who host events and welcome tours on weekends. Now on the National Registry of Historic Places. #SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

This wasn‘t my favorite read and it took me a while to get through but I‘m really happy I gave this a chance. I‘ve been wanting to explore older books and different types of crime novels since paranormal noir is one of my favorite genres. The craziness of the end of this book was hilarious to see and I was honestly surprised with who ended up with the money.
