I don't want to get ahead of the group again (we won't talk about my other readalong) I just wanted to check in before I started it.

julesG @TheSpineView is this the one for July? I lost track. 1d
ShananigansReads @julesG thank you for tagging Lisa. I did this on the computer and obviously didn‘t do the tag right. 🤦🏾‍♀️ 18h
julesG Don't worry. I'm also not certain which is next. Was it Dr Manello's story in June? Or is it in July? 18h
julesG Let's wait for Lisa to tell us 18h

1. Walking along the Arkansas River to breakfast. The cloud cover that kept me cool the whole way.
2.The delicious biscuits and gravy that FED my soul after that walk.
3.The topiary unicorn at the Witchita Botanical gardens.
4. The peach margaritas I drank after a hot day while waiting for some togo bbq.
5. Clarity. I wanna be a witch who lives in a forest. I walked into the children‘s garden portion of the gardens and 👇🏼

Reggie there were these kids being kids and they were being rambunctious. Just being kids. I left their gardens and found this path that didn‘t have any flowers but these huge trees that shaded over one another. There was a quiet and a stillness and I felt like I could have become one with them. Just melted into them. I wanted to stay there forever. It was a good day. 2d
Reggie What does this have to do with that Seize the Night vampire anthology you ask? One of my favorite stories in there has to do with a contractor bulldozing a forest for a high rise building but the witch who lives there has something to say. It‘s called “The Separator,” by Rio Youers. It‘s a gnarly story. (edited) 2d
lil1inblue Wonderful joys! Sounds absolutely magical! 🤩🤩🤩 2d

Centique I totally get this! I often imagine being a recluse in a cottage on the edge of the woods somewhere making dandelion tea or something and walking about barefoot wrapped in a patchwork blanket. (In reality id probably freeze to death in winter or get eaten by mosquitos in summer) Still the yearning for more nature immersion is there 💕 I love the sound of your trees and I bet you‘d be a formidable protector of them! 2d
Lesliereadsalot The peach margarita and the botanical garden would be on my to-do list! 2d
AnnCrystal 🤩🪄🌳🌲💝💝💝💝💝. (edited) 2d
Bookwormjillk That sounds like a good story! And I like your pictures. 2d
Mollyanna There‘s nothing like a good plate of biscuits and gravy! 2d
Reggie @Centique awwww your version sounds wonderful. I can actually see your patchwork quilt being longer than you and slightly dragging on the floor as you walk around. 2d
Reggie @Mollyanna I grew up in a small town and the McDonald‘s there is the only one I‘ve ever been to that serves Biscuits and gravy. It‘s so spicy and good and ever since then I‘ve been a big fan. My family never made it. 2d
Reggie @Bookwormjillk it was. That anthology had some really good stories. Thanks! 2d
Reggie @Lesliereadsalot that margarita was soooooo good. And being from a dry part of New Mexico any kind of vegetation and greenery is exciting to me. 2d
Reggie @lil1inblue it really was. There were koi ponds and a butterfly garden. So much for the eyes to take in. 2d
Mollyanna A McDonald‘s that makes biscuits and gravy?!? I feel like that is a bucket list item. I lived in the South for a time when I was young and one of my friend‘s mom taught my mom how to make it. She still makes it every Christmas morning. 2d
BkClubCare Wait - you‘re in ICT? 2d
Reggie @BkClubCare I am. I just got back from WAM and finishing a book at the Advanced Learning Library. Now I‘m gonna go have some bbq. I was lucky because there was cloud cover yesterday. Today, not so much. I feel like I‘ve lost half myself in lost sweat. Tomorrow I‘m headed on to Kansas City and Indianapolis after that. Just road tripping it. (edited) 1d
BkClubCare @Reggie - Go to Station8? Prolly no longer open. B&C is around the corner 😊 Our downtown library is the best! 🌟 Have a safe trip. (edited) 1d
Reggie @BkClubCare Thanks! that‘s where I‘m going. I had Bite Me BBQ last night and I thought it was great. Yeah that library was very nice. They were teaching a computer class you could see them through the glass. All the recs. It was great. I‘ve really enjoyed Witchita. Never been here before. 1d
BkClubCare @Reggie - I am often helping with Tech Trng there!! Yes, great staff. I also volunteer stocking the bookstore. 💪📚 1d
Centique Wow that sounds like an excellent road trip! And it looks LONG now ive looked it up on a map. If you drive more than 12 hours in NZ youre in the sea 😝😝 Or on a car ferry which is a better option! Have fun my friend! 💕 1d
BkClubCare @Reggie (but take that first T out! 😂 Wichita or ICT - tho a friend of mine calls it “Wicked Toe” 🤣 1d
Reggie @BkClubCare that‘s cool! I bought 2 books from the friends of the library store. A Peter Straub and a romance involving pickleball. The lady volunteering made me smile so much cause she was so into reading that I watched her turn like 3 pages before she realized I was there. The book must have been good. lol 1d
Reggie @Centique thanks, Paula. Witchita is 8 hrs from where I live and I‘ve got another 8 to go the farthest I‘m going. 1d
BkClubCare @Reggie - ah, feels like it coulda been a fun meetup, but just savoring that 💡 idea for a possible “nother time”. (Now I wonder who that was… LOVE my library and my lil store.) Have a cool trip - Indiana can be quite literary! 1d
BkClubCare @Reggie - go to Doo Dah Diner for breakfast! It‘s the Wichita PLACE 1d
BkClubCare @Centique - would so love to visit NZ. 💖 1d
Reggie @BkClubCare if I come back we‘ll definitely meet up. And that‘s where I was thinking of going before I leave tomorrow. Thanks! 1d
AmyG I want to live in Muir Woods. (But not be a witch). Something about a forest and trees. I get it. Maybe with a peach margarita. Safe travels. Drive carefully! (edited) 1d
Centique @BkClubCare would so love to see you if you do! We are very small here! Sometimes Americans visit and think “ill just hop on a train and go from point A to point B” and im like “um no, you‘ll need a couple days to drive through the mountains - unless you wanna hire a helicopter” 😝💕 1d

Fledgling | Octavia E. Butler

This was my first introduction to Octavia Butler (ironic given it was her last novel) and it's very much my thing! The chemical symbiosis fascinates me, as do the questions about consent and coercion it brings up. I also found the vampire politics interesting, if a bit hard to follow at times, and I became attached to Shori as a character rather quickly.

(The image is of a startlingly large mistletoe. Thematically relevant, at least.)

Kept distracting myself with other things this past week which meant it took a little while to read this book…Even more entertaining than I expected, I enjoyed this story about Gabriel de Leon, the last of the silversaints, who is forced to tell his story to a jailer desperate to pry some very important information from him. Lots of action (and death), vampires, betrayal, adventure, love, danger—as I said, an entertaining fast paced story.

This one was much better than the first one. The ending still left something to be desired but UGH I love a fake-dating plotline.
