So ends this meditative, lingering experience, with this quote from Rumi. Appropriate for our current time. #NFNovember #book1

monalyisha Oh, this part made me grumpy. I want to read. I also want to sit out on the porch (which was another thing she begrudged in a separate chapter). 😅 Sitting out on the porch IS a way to inhabit your body. You don‘t have to go for a walk. 😜 There‘s a chance I may have put on this song by The Punch Brothers as my (very tame) form of mini rebellion. https://open.spotify.com/track/5a4ZTEMp6wULHTEzJclKxt?si=QMFL2AxvRem8Cdrqy17Ogw 7d

monalyisha To be clear, there‘s a time for reading and a time for action; a time for sitting and a time for walking. Just…let me sit & read when that‘s what I‘ve determined is best. Okay, Barbara?! 😆 7d

kspenmoll I am always reading on my porch except winter!!I lie around tons. But walking in nature is therapy for me, either alone or as a communal time when I hike or walk with others. I appreciate everyone‘s comments and ideas. It certainly has me thinking! (edited) 7d

kspenmoll @monalyisha I think I must‘ve just picked and chose what I enjoyed and ignored the rest. I don‘t remember the begrudging of sitting on the porch reading, but then again it was a while back that I read the book. 7d

kspenmoll @monalyisha fabulous song! 7d

monalyisha @kspenmoll Thank you! I did really enjoy a lot of the book. I passed it on to a family member, who I think might find it more expansive than I did. The image of the laurel tree portal will stick with me. I almost wanted to keep the book for myself, to highlight the sentences that DID make a difference to my thinking. But it felt more meaningful to share. 7d

Glory in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb

pick

Book read in July🤷🏽‍♀️In this series , I have different editions😬
Answering questions made in #InDeathLong Reading #IDLR (6 months ago😳) I‘m like @TheAromaOfBooks I knew who he did it but that happened close when author revealed who was it. There were clues in that interview with him. I liked this book better it was a fast pace but I still think Roarke likes to control, is pushy and manipulative😐I don‘t how open is their relationship⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) This is a long series, so let‘s see how that relationship will end. 3.8⭐️

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I am liking Roarke better as the series goes along. He's still very pushy, but I think he feels like if he doesn't make Eve take care of herself, she just won't. However, she survived without him up until this point soooo 😂 5mo

The Highgate Cemetery Murder: A Completely Gripping and Addictive Historical Mystery | Irina Shapiro

Thursday morning coffee and a book. #readyourkindle #TateandBellMystery #book1 #porchlife

So excited! Just saw a hummingbird bird feeding on my red bee balm! I have only sighted one other this summer. #rightplacerighttime

Bookwormjillk I saw my second yesterday too. Is there a hummingbird crisis? Usually they‘re all over. 7mo

kspenmoll @Bookwormjillk I hope not! Maybe I am not still enough? The other hummingbird I saw was outside my kitchen window at a feeder. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/summertime-in-the-united-states-of-hummingbir... (edited) 7mo

quietlycuriouskate Hummingbirds?! I'm so envious. 😍 7mo

Squeak: A Twisted Tale | Vera Valentine

pick

This one left so many questions on unanswered, unlike Unhinged, but that is probably because this is planned as the first book of a series. I am sincerely looking forward to reading the rest of this series. An intriguing story. I love the female centred 🌶️🌶️🌶️. Highly recommend if you‘re into magic and loving triads.

Buried Deception | Amanda McKinney

pick

When I read romantic suspense novels I look for a mix of mystery and chemistry between characters, and Buried Deception had both. While there were some small inconsistencies and a few trigger warnings to be aware of (see comment). I found myself speeding through this to try to figure out who did it and how Easton and Mia would fare. Overall, very enjoyable and I look forward to the next book in the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

kspenmoll @Cinfhen thanks for asking. Starting PT Friday, which makes me feel like my body is still pain of course, my biggest challenge is just using my left hand and not using my right! 1y

Thistlewood Manor: Murder at the Hedgerow (An Eliza Montagu Cozy Mystery�Book 1) | Fiona Grace

What a fun mystery novel! The fast-paced narrative kept me entertained on my hotter-than-heck 6 mile run yesterday. I've always adored Fiona Grace novels.They never disappoint! Especially when I found this one free on Play Books.
