Currently binge watching Seasons 3 and 4 of Stranger Things before the final season arrives! But my books call me as well...such balance is required lol!

Getting close to the end of the year and my brain says "we can't do it! It's weird starting a series in one year and finishing it in the next."

Well okay then Brain! Guess we'll read stand alones the rest of this year! So decided to read another Peter S. Beagle book: "Tamsin."

Sometimes the best place I have found for myself is a gentle walk in nature with my family. The autumn weather helps too!

Our autumn walk from last weekend! It was a welcomed chance to just chill and ignore life's hustle for a few hours ♡

Nettle & Bone was an absolutely amazing read! The dynamics, and relationships formed, of the characters were beautiful and honestly a well deserved 5 ☆s!

Now onto another of T. Kingfisher's books! Thornhedge!

T. Kingfisher is a new author for me and holy hell! I am already in love with her storytelling, and writing, abilities!

"Nettle & Bone" is already 6 chapters in and I'm both enchanted and pissed with several characters! I love this book and its ability to tear me apart already!

Her Highness had her conditions in order for me to be able to read this morning! 💜👑
So with Chi-cuddles, I have begun "The Way Home!" Two novellas from the world of "The Last Unicorn."☕️📖🦄

Enjoying some fresh air in luxury. The blanket is a requirement -- no excuses!

Found my way out of my book burn-out with "The Last Unicorn." I loved the cartoon, and after seeing so many beautiful pieces, I couldn't help but pick it up!

I've got 12 pages left before the story ends but the companion novella is ready and waiting. The story continues!

Beautiful Tree Froggo!
He didn't mind, I don't think, having a pink fleshy thing stick a camera in his face lol

I finally got a good setup for work! A lovely little backpack, plus a cute little lunch box and cosmetic bag (to hold all my miscellaneous stuff lol)

Is it dumb and silly? Yes! But am I excited all the same? Hell yes!! (♡ω♡)

Every morning when I get home from work, Her Highness escorts me to our bedroom and then proceeds to slowly inch her way to my pillows if I'm taking too long to get ready for bed.

The life of being dictated by a tiny Chi!

The Boys have been getting a lot of photo time, DO NOT TELL HER HIGHNESS!

So, to make up for the error of my ways, here is the tiny maybe 2 foot child that runs our house with a squeaky toy bark and unimpressed looks:

Her Highness (aka Skeeter the Chi).

Spooky Season is here! And I couldn't help but grab for another Dracula realm novel. "Lucy Undying" is perfect! 🦇

Gremlin was not pleased with the book getting more attention than him!
He won....several hours of cuddles, chin scratches, and ear rubs!
