Thanks for stopping by :-)
I'm loving all the autumn leaves too! It usually snows the first week of October and destroys them all, but that didn't happen this year, so we actually get to see the leaves!
ReplyDeleteI've been watching Squid Game. Decent.
ReplyDeleteThose animal masks lol. That show!!!
ReplyDeleteNeat that you're already finding fresh fruitcake. Family Plot looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteRevenge looks good!
ReplyDeleteLoving the fall leaves, too! I enjoyed Squid Game too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteFalling leaves are lovely...cooler weather too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got some creepy books this week. Perfect for the season.
Have a good week and Happy (?) Reading!
We're in the midst of autumn leaf drop - kind of bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteMy whole family is raving about Squid Games. I like the sound of Diary of a Provincial Lady.
