Continuing the countdown of my books, from 1st to 25th, THE JACKAL‘S MISTRESS. Today it‘s my 8th novel, The Buffalo Solider from 2002. This was another novel in which Vermont was a microcosm for social changes occurring across America. (Also? My lovely bride, Victoria Blewer, took the cover photos.)
bailedThe main character Victoria has a huge anger problem and attacks everyone. I found a spoiler that revealed that she becomes a mother at a later part in the book, and I protest her becoming one. That‘s why I am not finishing this book.
Last Saturday‘s Little Free Library scores on my way to ballet. One of the beginner ballerina‘s Nans was giving away her handmade blankets. Yes please!
pickI really enjoyed this book. I loved the growth of the MC Victoria and the fact that the story ended realistically. It‘s a coming of age story of a young girl going through foster care and her struggles with her ability to love and trust not just other people but herself. I enjoyed learning about the language of flowers as well. It made me look at the beauty around me a bit differently ☺️
I LOVE my Garden Get-A-Way !!! I need lots of rest and relaxation- and am very interested in preparing food and drinks with edible plants! The books look like a lot of fun- I‘m sure i will enjoy them! And the crickets are funny - I will see if i can find someone who would eat them 🤣 I love everything- Thank you so much Leslie! #staycationswap
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.5/5)
“Darling Girls” was a creepy but intriguing read that made me suspicious of all the characters until the very end. I kind of suspected ‘who did it‘ early on into the book, however the plot twists made it less obvious. Overall this is a solid read, however the very last chapter wasn‘t entirely necessary and it was a weird way to end the book.

Today‘s Prompt: FLOWER SHOP
After sleeping in the woods for some time, hunger and cold made her walk boldly into a “flower shop” and ask to help the florist.
To me this book stood for unconditional love, for hardship, for talent, for disappointment, and for working for what you really want.
