A faint smear of rosy brightness hangs out in the west- a September haar, sea mist reflecting the sunrise.

I was having a nice little outdoor walk listening to The Moon Sister when, Boom! Thunder, lightning, then heavy rain. Luckily I was near a building. I had to call my son to come get me. Finished my #audiowalk at the gym. I haven‘t decided if I like Tiggy yet, but I was so sure that she would be the sister I‘d love.

I didn‘t enjoy this one as much as the first book, The Christmas Bookshop, but it was cute. IMO, it needed way more Christmas-y feels. A soft pick.

I finished Mansfield Park #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow and Under brosteinen, stranden!

I read TAo The Veiled Lodger #NoPlaceLikeHolmes

I continued with my yearlong reads on the right

I continued Little Dorrit #WhatTheDickens and to listen to The Flower Farm

I‘ve started The Whalebone Theatre

I actually really enjoyed this one, and I was not expecting it! A good mix of humour, monster smut and Scottish lore, I think this is a good book to pick up if you haven‘t quite branched out into this genre. While I‘d say it‘s tame, it also delivers on what you should expect 😉.

And a hot, grumpy Scotsman doesn‘t hurt.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A man kills his wife and two of his three children, shocking the small island community where he lives. Twenty years his surviving son returns to the island forcing everyone to face their complicated feelings about what happened and what it means. This was so good. The emotions in this book escalated as layers to the story were uncovered until I was turning pages with my heart firmly lodged in my throat.

This was such a cute fall romance set in Scotland!

First off, the vibes are immaculate. It took place during autumn, so it gave off super cozy fall vibes. It was also set in a small town in the Scottish Highlands, which added to the dreamy coziness.

The romance was adorable. I loved Harper and Fraser, both separately and as a couple. I found them both endearing.
