A green and yellow parrot, which hung in a cage outside the door, kept repeating over and over:
"Allez vous-en! Allez vous-en! Sapristi! That's all right!"

Currently reading. I wanted something gentle.

I do sort of care in an annoyed way that I spend 4 freaking hrs on hold with social security. But I did get some crocheting done. Not much else.

I have read 2 of the 3 books in this trilogy of stand-alone stories and liked them both.

I chose this to read for Halloween for my irl bookclub. It was a reread for me. Holy crap, I don't remember it being so creepy scary the first time I read it...and gave it 4 stars.

Enjoying the warm temps outside before the season cools down for good. Listening to either squirrels or birds scratching in a very tall tree next to me. Strawberry Acai Refresher by my side.
