pickFinished this today on the plane home. I really loved it! I only found out now there is a film. The writing is so well done and I just had so much love and sympathy for Maud throughout. It's incredibly original without coming across as gimmicky, at least for me. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I arrived in Cape Town late afternoon and have nothing to do tonight - feeling very useless/unpopular/lonely. I went for a walk and saw some cute squirrels - we don't see/have them where I live. Aside from a bit of prep I need to do for the 3 days in the office, I plan on reading more of the tagged book, which I was enjoying on the plane.

so-soWhat a downer. I don't think I want to ever see a memory care unit nor be faced with the possibility of placing a loved one or being placed in one ever. Don't read for a good time, but to induce thought provoking tears over the loss of a pool/lifestyle, and mind.
pickNatalie Lloyd‘s brand of magic always feels so organic and unique. The Witching Wind is no exception! Grayson, Roxie and their friends are so sweet and supportive of each other. I loved that what they found wasn‘t quite what they spent so long looking for, but each was exactly what they needed. 🦋

Hi everyone👋I‘m still around, still breathing, just in the worst book slump of my life & honestly, a little bit of depression too. But I‘m fighting back & going to try and force a few chapters a day to get my book brain back into gear. Books are still coming in so if I don‘t try and read some soon, I‘ll either die under a book avalanche or the hubby will throttle me! So hopefully, I‘ll be around a bit more!🤞🤞🤞(my grandbubba jumping puddles👆)
