“Let the Lord of Chaos rule.” Another Wheel of Time book down. 💪🏻 It only took me a month 😅- but I did enjoy it! I’m giving this one three ⭐️⭐️⭐️. Truly not a lot happened for most of the book, but the end packed a punch and just love this world and the characters Jordan has spun...plus the overarching plot is simply amazing. Also, I was so glad to visit Perrin again after missing him in the last book. If anyone wants to talk about the super spoilers things that happened, please dm! 😍 I will say I’m glad the next book is a few hundred pages shorter, but I’ll definitely be embarking on it soon!

From one behemoth to the next. I finally finished the 6th book in the Outlander series, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, which I gave 3 1/2 stars to. Next up is this classic which I am quite excited to be buddy reading with Shari. @colourmeread Have you read this book? What did you think?

Looking for a book to fit the season? I recommend Agatha Christie! I discovered her wonderful murderer mysteries last year, beginning with this classic. I find that Christie's books are best read between October and December for some reason. 🤔 Have you read any Agatha Christie? Any favorites? How about murder mysteries in general? 🎃

So excited to finally get around to Shirley Jackson! I’m currently reading this little horror and I’m already enjoying her writing style- surprising considering this was written so long ago! What is your favorite Shirley Jackson?

Just some of that late afternoon sunlight. ☺️ Here in Florida the weather is beautiful right now and I am eating it up! I’m also a bit sad that Halloween is over, but I am looking forward to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Hanukkah! October through December are definitely the best months of the year! Plus, my birthday I in December. 🙊 What holiday is your favorite?

Check out this lovely bookshelf at one of my favorite local restaurants! Does anyone else feel immediately warmed by a space whenever there are books? 😊
