This weekend, I’m experiencing isolation vicariously through Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy. So far, it’s a deep story with darkness lurking. Wonderful literary prose.

Our Zulu Giant finally bloomed, and it’s beautiful! I was hoping it would bloom during the summer when it was in the greenhouse. Thankfully, the odor isn’t pungent as I feared. 💛🌱

November’s Amazon First Reads allows a free bonus short read, The Kill Clause by Lisa Unger, plus a new book of your choice. Looking forward to this holiday read. I also selected The Night Watcher by Tariq Ashkanani.

Never have I ever had my irises bloom in October/November. I noticed new buds last week and brought the cuttings inside so they wouldn’t freeze. 🥶🌱

Despite today being Halloween, I’m listening to The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau by Kristin Harmel, a historical fiction novel. It’s a library hold, so I feel obliged to make it a priority. I’m loving it though. 💞
