pickThis was wild, chaotic, confusing, and very funny in a nonsensical way. Plot? There kinda isn‘t one. And yet you come away rooting for Wala & Co. 🤪🤯
A fever dream-like intro this author indeed. 😅 #AuthorAMonth

Am reading. Dolly Cat is moral support. #horror #novel #fiction #womenwriters
Waldo‘s narrative is intriguing, often full of vibrant vocabulary. “Scrofulous,” suitable for #weirdwordwednesday , means having a diseased appearance, and similarly “rachitic” refers to rickety geraniums. Interesting word choice. Revealing much?….
pickMy 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.
pickA great read about the impact of war, generational trauma, and the importance of human connection. Alternating perspectives of individuals in Las Vegas, centering the war in Iraq and the aftermath on soldiers and their families, as well as an immigrant family. In-depth inner dialogue and emotional lives of the featured characters who all struggle, but do their best. A great audio as well!
pickI picked up this book on a whim and it was an enjoyable read. I wasn‘t sure if this was a supernatural themed thriller or not until the end. Overall, it was a fun read with some good twists and turns. Wraps up nicely in the end.
Time to revisit this one 🥰🥰🥰
Watching the 1983 BBC version of Mansfield Park, which is on Prime currently, and I recommend it for three reasons:
1. Angela Pleasence as Lady Bertram does the best portrayal of a vapid, drug addict idle housewife I have ever seen.
2. Fanny, played by Sylvestra Le Touzel, occasionally gets this look on her face that clearly says "Go ahead, keep it up, I am plotting to murder you all with an ax."
3. It follows the book very closely.
