  2. We've definitely felt the arrival of Fall in my area. I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice latte but I like pumpkin pie, bars and muffins. Enjoy your reading and viewing this week!

  3. A drawing by Ros Chast is always a good thing! She captures something so essential in just a bit of sketching. Thanks for that.

  4. I also celebrated the first day of fall with a Pumpkin Spice latte!
    My mom gave me the Valerie Perrin book (though in French) this summer after she enjoyed it, but I have yet to read it. I hope you enjoy it too. Happy reading!

  5. Fall has definitely arrived in MA. Suddenly, we are in that time period where we can run the heat in the morning and might consider A/C by mid-afternoon. I used to cross-stitch all the time. It has been years, but I hope to enjoy it again one day.

    The Make-Up Test and Confidence caught my eye this week. Hope you enjoy your books.

  7. As soon as it cools down here (maybe November?) I'll celebrate with a pumpkin spice latte.

    The Greengage Summer sounds very interesting. I like the author Rumer Godden.
