Happy Wednesday my bookish friends! I am gearing up for our first Halloween in a neighborhood since 1991 - yikes! We haven't had trick-or-treaters in so long so we have been buying candy on each of our grocery trips. Decorating was fun.| Turn the Page

Hello bookish friends. First week of October has me reading outside thanks to cooler temps, using the slow cooker and planting pollinators. I hope your week is going well.| Turn the Page
Well we got through September. While I am longing for fall temperatures here, my friends in the southern hemisphere are about to experience Springtime :-) Clearly I need a home is two parts of this world, haha.| Turn the Page
The Correspondent by Virginia Evans was a 5 star buddy read with Susan at The Cue Card. I loved this book and the epistolary style appealed to me. From decades back I have been a letter writer. You can create a history of your relationships through your letters, if you save them over the years.| Turn the Page

My weekly update is a bit disjointed today so I'll just ramble on. I somehow strained my back and neck muscles. Probably the yard work we ha...| 1toast.blogspot.com
The first week of September almost behind us and I sometimes marvel we have been in our "city" home for almost three months. I love the quiet street we live on, talking to people who are walking or doing gardening, being close to the library, pizza, ammenities....and no more 25 mile trip to get to the grocery store. Bliss.| Turn the Page
The end of August already. As the heat was extreme, I was in quite a bit and so my reading time increased. We did have a severe storm blow...| 1toast.blogspot.com
Wild Dark Shore. I was hooked on this story after the first chapter. A woman, close to death by drowning and hyperthermia, washes up on the Arctic shore of a remote island. The woman, Rowan, is dragged up to the lighthouse and cared for by Dominic Salt and his three children. She has grave injuries requiring stitches where jagged rocks tore her body open.| 1toast.blogspot.com

This past month has been a good one for me reading, armchair traveling and a few days with our Nebraska granddaughter. | Turn the Page
This was my first time participating in Paris in July and I had a blast. While I thought I may do two posts I found myself immersed in the books, food and music. Check out our host Emma at Words and Peace for info and great suggestions. | Turn the Page
This has been a good reading week for me. | Turn the Page
A Moveable Feast by Hemingway was the book for the Classic Club Spin. I had to get the photo of the book against this picture we have above the bar. It's perfect for the French theme :-) | Turn the Page

Food is my inspiration for this week in the Paris in July event hosted by Emma at Words and Peace. Palmiers were on my radar and that made me think about all the other recipes I have prepared from my Williams Sonoma Essentials of French Cooking.| Turn the Page
Eileen and Marty are Americans who dreamed of living in France. They bought a 400 year old farmhouse with a charming layout, purchasing it online. I am not that brave.| Turn the Page
When I saw this book by Lonely Planet titled Hidden Libraries I couldn't resist checking it out. There are 50 libraries here that would make a good international travel list for those of us who love books. Exotic locations and more.| Turn the Page

Here we are into the first week of July. We've had a few big storms blow in this past week and had hail one evening. The winds were so strong that day my wind chimes blew sideways and stayed vertical for a bit. I thought they may blow into my neighbor's yard, yikes. Welcome to the hurricane season and the almost daily summer rains.| Turn the Page
Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay was my spin pick for The Classics Club. I read the lenghty forward and it seems there was a question about the author's first hand knowledge, or is it entirely a work of fiction. It is labeled as historical fiction with a setting in 1900 at a girl's college in Victoria Australia. The locations Hanging Rock and Macedon ranges are real.| Turn the Page
