pickWonderful story with masterful writing. Women‘s lives intertwine in the story, which unfolds naturally. Nothing feels forced, the emotion is genuine and a topic not often focused on.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It‘s unforgettable and inspiring! 5 stars! #womenpower #themoonflowers #abigailrosemarie #nature #outside #sunshine #fishing #autumn #reading #women #kindle #kindleunlimited
pickThis book was well written, though sad, and it seemed to capture the poorer aspects of Appalachian life quite well, moving from generation to generation. I feel like this was an under-the-radar novel, but what really made this stand out was the stellar narration of the audiobook, with a full cast of characters that really brought this one to life.
Day 10 of #WickedWhispers is #Thombstones
These are the tombstones I made for our front yard last year. I also made the candles (pool noodles, glue sticks and battery tea lights), Zero (styrofoam, wire and table cloth) and the skeleton coming out of the ground (I did buy and break apart the skeleton but I made the fake ground, slimy bits, painted and posed him).

so-soThis was my choice for Amazon First Reads this month.
A woman is asked to paint a portrait of her long dead grandfather and learns that he wasn't the hero people thought he was.
Nothing spectacular.
Ready for the next read!
#whereareyoumonday sees me in Appalachia!
Catte talks about the region as a whole and as individual areas. Really enjoying this take on what Vance got wrong with “Hillbilly Elegy.“

pickThis is an atmospheric, somewhat somber tale that features a woman who leaves a bad marriage and returns to her hometown with her two children. Her family has always been rumored to be witches, and her mother has addiction issues. It is a supernatural mystery with a touch of romance, but at heart is about family dynamics and relationships. I enjoyed it, but did find it a bit confusing at times. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. 3.5/5 stars
pickWritten in response to a certain Elegy, this book explores the depth and diversity of people in Appalachia then goes on the look at the narrow views of three previous writers and how they are in conversation with specific racists/eugenicists. Interesting book/rebuke.
pickThis book really surprised me, I didn‘t expect it to be so gripping and deep. A beautiful portrayal of women‘s fight for survive, how we band together and help each other through
