The pileated woodpecker is here often. Lots of dead wood around for them, but it’s always exciting!

I have a Substack if anyone is interested. Just me being sad today and trying not to be. Not looking for sympathy just need to get it out.
Why does everything have to be so hard?
I’m at the home and my mother is still in bed at 11 am.

I love this woman so much!
I would rather be kicked in the ankle than watch this back since I almost passed out from anxiety after but I promise you the @sgj.bsky.social book is one of the best this year and the game is a long time fav in our home, all their games are so good. www.instagram.com/p/DSA-sjJEYL8/

#artadventcalendar day 7 my new favorite wasp, the great golden digger wasp was obsessed with my mountain mint!

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins is a book you have never read before and probably never will again. This was a story of EPIC proportions, and I weeped and cheered on multiple occasions. You will not be able to put this one down until you’re finished, it’s just that good. A new favorite!

FINALLY home after an epically long and hellish day, but I come home with a copy of the novella that inspired my FAVORITE movie of the year. I can’t wait to read this!! Has anyone else read this or seen the movie?

Again, I CANNOT stress enough how important this list is for us booksellers! @emilyhughes.bsky.social is doing the good work to make sure we’re on top of things!

Here’s the books I was able to finish in the month of the plague. These were ALL stellar!! I was remiss in doing reviews for many of them and I apologize for that, but I loved them all VERY much! #books
