Waiting for my mom to call. Figured I might as well kick off the seasonal reading early 😉😱👻
so-soThis collection of short stories included The Birds, which I had never read (also have never seen the movie) so I picked it up for #AuthoraMonth. Despite loving Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel, these shorts just didn't really do much for me. While there was some atmospheric writing, I was never surprised by anything that happened. Several of the stories just stop without any resolution, or with a conclusion that just felt odd & abrupt. In general ⬇️
#BookReport - Finished two of my chapter-a-day books, plus Mansfield Park will be finished today (!!!). Still plugging through Peter Pan (not particularly enjoying it tbh) & am also reading some short stories by Daphne du Maurier with mixed results. A solid reading week - sitting at 1775/2000pgs for my #MarvellousMarch goal so feeling pretty confident about hitting that goal by the end of tomorrow!!
Somehow have now read 13 #BookSpinBingo books ⬇
You guys!!!! I am so freaking excited. I have been looking and wanting this book for awhile but I could never find it. But @TheAromaofBooks found it for my #jolabokaflodswap package. I am so excited- thank you so very much I love everything, the cool bookmark, chocolate, seasonal pencil, and the most awesome book! I can not wait to read it. Thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting once again. Your awesome! 🎄📚❤️

The black cats do not care that today‘s #chillingphotochallenge theme is Orange. Nonetheless, here‘s an orange book that I hope to get to this month.

Read "Don't Look Now." It is about a husband and wife who vacation to Venice after the death of their daughter. Their goal is to try to recover from her death. While there they meet a set of twin sisters, one of which is psychic. Upon their meeting, a story unfolds, blending the supernatural, murder, and Hitchcockian suspense. Highly reccommended.
"The Birds" is quite different than the movie and focuses on a farmer and his family being attacked by kamikaze birds. Unlike the movie, the story gives more insight into why the birds are attacking, although a conclusion is never given. One theory is their behavior is blamed on an extreme cold snap that hit overnight. One character blames the horror on Russian experiments.
The work is fairly intense and will get one's adrenaline pumping.

Sunday morning with homemade muffins and my creepy October read (The Birds is in this collection and I‘m excited to read the original, knowing she wasn‘t happy with Hitchcock‘s version).
#17booklove #setinabelovedlocation Venice, Savannah and New Orleans are my favourite cities. I've been to Venice 6 times at least and it gets better with every visit, my husband prefers Nice or Barcelona but Venice is magical. When I first visited the US we went to both Savannah and NO, last year we just made NO and it's still amazing. Next visit we'll get back to Savannah ❤️📚
