4⭐️ HOUSE OF MONSTROUS WOMEN by Daphne Fama. 2025. Historical/horror. Josephine’s childhood friend invites her to play a twisted game of hide-and-seek in her maze like house where rooms are inside rooms smelling of rot and earth. Will she live long enough to win? Deliciously creepy! 💙📚

Did you eat Dutch Letters in Pella? So yummy! When we were there we went to Smokey Row Coffee House. Also, they make Pella windows there!
