Scene from my Sunday walk, and my first attempt at bird photography of a Great Blue Heron.
I love the outdoors!

The last book I completed was an ARC of Welcome to Midlothian Boulevard by Benjamin Ryan - a great thriller novel that will be released in December.
Next up is The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden

Happy Black Speculative Fiction month! It spotlights my fav genres: horror, fantasy & sci-fi.
I finished The Reformatory by @tananarivedue.bsky.social this weekend to kick off the month. It was phenomenal! I was locked in from the very beginning, but the last 100 pages - WOW! 5/5 ⭐️ So good!

I have a few “musical therapists”, and one of my favs is Ahmad Jamal.
No lyrics are needed. After listening to some Ahmad Jamal, I always feel better.

Music is my happy place with all that is going on right now, and my favorite way to wind down on a Sunday evening is to spin some jazz.
Nancy Wilson and the Cannonball Adderley Quintet from 1962. The vocals…the arrangements…musical perfection❤️

Today’s spin is in honor of Walter Scott, whom we lost this week. The Whispers were some of the coolest to do it! This album, Love For Love, was released in 1983. The Whispers were definitely part of my childhood soundtrack and one of my favorites!

A friend of mine turned me on to this book, and let me borrow her copy - They Dream in Gold by Mai Sennaar. Finished it up over the weekend. It wasn’t even on my radar. I really enjoyed this read!
So grateful for bookish friends and my reading partner & book rest Maximus ❤️

Sunday evening vibes…Dinah Washington. The album: Late Late Show, released in 1963.
This is the only album of hers that I have, but I am looking to add more. Her voice, her sound, the way she sang a lyric…obsessed!

Today’s vibe. Doing some Saturday cleaning with a classic.
The Glow of Love by the group Change, released in 1980. The title track is one of my favorites, highlighting the iconic Luther Vandross prior to his illustrious solo career.

Tonight’s vibe…a little Cannonball Adderley. The album: Coast To Coast. This is a reissue of 2 live albums: The Cannonball Adderley Sextet in New York recorded in 1962 and The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco recorded in 1959. Absolutely love these recordings 🥰

Today’s vibe - a little old school R&B. One of my favorite groups from the 80’s was Atlantic Starr.
Yours Forever was released in 1983. This album has their smooth vocals, lush production, and that signature groove that made them standouts in the '80s and beyond.
