I have loved the fallish days with the warm days and the cool nights. The air feels fresher and I think people feel better. The traffic is still awful on the weekends with all the people from away, but the town feels more like home with fewer people wandering around. I know we get money from all the tourists, but sometimes it makes me feel closed in.
It is too early to celebrate as first we have to have leaf peeping season. For those of you from away, that means when people come up to see all the beautiful colors on the trees. The chlorophyll leaves the leaves allowing other pigments to shine through. I prefer the thought that the trees deck themselves out in their party dresses in orange, red and yellow.
However, before I started to get all poetic, I meant to share that the next two weeks of ARC book reviews will be Christmas stories. I have seven to read and review. It is ironic that so many come out in September, but I am sure it is to tempt people to buy them for friends and family as presents. The titles all have Christmas in them, but it is the other words like cottage, inn, evergreen, duet and hero that caught my attention.
Elise sent in an interview with Fiona Barton and her newest book Talking to Strangers. The novel is a murder mystery with three main characters all searching for answers separately. Each woman is coming to the investigation with their own backstory. The book sounds interesting!
Enjoy reading!!!
