Boo 🎃👻 I woke up this morning after turning my Little Free Library into a monster to find fog 🌁. Perfect photo op for my cute guy 📸! He actually looks even better now with some orange lights that slowly blink. Will make sure to post again with the lights!

Happy spooky season 🤗

☆Book Review☆
This book was...not what I expected. But I still enjoyed it for the most part.

Great Circle is an epic tale of a lifetime. We meet Marian when she's a kid and follow her through adolescence, through her early adulthood, and onto her plane for her great circle trip over the poles.

I wouldn't really call this book an adventure story. There are adventures in it, but they're interspersed throughout the other life/relationship bits of the story. Marian doesn't even get on her plane for the "Great Circle" trip until the last 100 pages of this nearly 600 page book.

Mostly, this book is about desire. I was kind of shocked at how much sex and lust is in this book...not a bad thing, just not what I expected! It's about physical desires and emotional desires - what we want for love, what we want for our lives.

I can't say this was my favorite book, but I did enjoy it. At points, though, I wondered where the heck her trip was! I also wasn't as into the current timeline (the book has dual timelines) with Hadley. I wished she wasn't part of the story and it was just Marian's part. It got a bit long for me!

4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Next up on my TBR: Never Saw Me Coming by @verakurianauthor. This is for book club (@girlybookclub). Not one of my preferred genres but always up for something different 😄 I mean, that's partly what book club is for, right? 🤪. In the spirit of Halloween 🎃

Are you in a book club where you read different genres? I've read multiple books I would have never picked up, but ended up liking!

I got a new little plant 😍🪴. I went to a fall mini market and found my friends at @flameflora! I'm in love with the pot, the sign, and the little friend that lives under his umbrella plant 🐸. The best part is it's a DIY experience, so my daughter helped me pot our new dwarf umbrella plant at home. Such a fun experience! Of course I thought he needed a #bookstack photo for his debut 📸.

Do you keep some plant friends around? The green makes me happy 💚.

Hey parents and friends of little bookworms! This book is so dang cute. The illustrations are in an old style that you just don't find anymore. They're pure nostalgia, but they're accompanied by rhymes that are fresh and fun for each letter of the alphabet. I have a full review and a picture of one of the pages up on the blog today - will put a link in my stories. Thanks SO much to the authors for sending me this #gifted copy! We love Cedar Creek Critters!

Hey happy Sunday! Candy corn is a favorite candy in my book 😍. Although I once tried keeping some around longer than the fall and they lost their magic. So now I just enjoy them for a month or two and then, as my daughter would gladly sing for you, let it go 😆. So here's my celebratory #candycornbookstack! I'm sure there are some candy corn haters who are going to see this in their feed and 🤢 🤣

My mother-in-law brought over this jack-o-lantern flag and put it up on my bookcase 🎃📚. I have to say, although it hides my books, I'm kind of diggin' it 😄.

We're heading to a playground playdate for my 3-year-old...her very first playdate she was invited to at school! So looking forward to meeting the other parents and watching our kiddo classmates play 💜.

What are you reading? I'm still reading Great Circle...it's so long 😂😅. Good though!

Not exactly my best bookish photography, but behold, LFL overflow before ➡️ after! I can open my bedroom door further now 😂 and it no longer looks like a disaster area! Whew! Small houses, I tell ya 😅 they can be tricky!
