I'm glad to hear it. They're a lot of fun to write. Especially Josie, who is always busy giving dryads everywhere a bad name. 😜

Our book for February is “Black Hat, White Witch” by Hailey Edwards @haileyedwards.bsky.social
This is the first book of ten in the Black Hat Bureau series. All ten are out now. #booksky #urbanfantasy #bookclub #bskybookclub #blackhatwhitewitch #mostlyurbanfantasy

Frankie looks like she's been through it since the last book. I love all the purple in this series' covers.

It's also the story of how my great niece whispered in my ear before I left that she would like a Monster High doll for Christmas please.

And that's the story of how I met my great niece, my new BFF.

Anyway-- After lunch, when it was time to head to the church, this tiny little redhead about two years old I had never seen before walked up to me, took my hand, and said, "I'm riding with you, Aunt Hailey."

I was at the family lunch prior to the celebration of life for my SIL, and there were maybe ten kids there under five. Several I had never met. (BIL and SIL foster, so it's not unusual to meet three or four new kiddos at once.)

Thanks for thinking of me!

My grandson is the cutest grandson.

It looks amazing!

Any excuse for caramel and/or apples. That's the best part of this time of year.

Every. Single. Time.

Oh no! 😟

And now I’m craving actual apples minus the crumble.

I haven’t had faux apple crumble since I was a kid, but I started craving it after I kept seeing it on TikTok this week.

Always looking out for me that one.

I dropped a single piece of kibble in the toy bin. Lucky for me, Maple was there to save the day.

Oh no. No, no, no.

Your mission, men, should you choose to accept it:

This cover for an upcoming Yard Birds novella always makes me cackle. It’s so very Ellie. 😂😂😂

Pre-op always takes forevvvvver.

I'm obsessed with these skull mushrooms! I have to try cutting my carrots too. Too cute.
