I love the spooky but artsy look - especially the owl.<br /><br />Iceland seems like a wonderful place to venture to - maybe you can do it when all this improves - I hope so. Mother/daughter trips are so precious.<br /><br />Wow, you are a serious reader and your book choices are fab. I love reading youth stories as well (love Dahl). I am reading the Mysterious Benedict Society now - my 5 year Grandson picked it out for me at the Thrift store. It is really for preteens but I love it. nwilliams6https://www.blogger.com/profile/04082601593691555155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-86761641001085252032020-10-09T05:15:48.884-04:002020-10-09T05:15:48.884-04:00So sorry you two did not get time to spend togethe...So sorry you two did not get time to spend together in Iceland but I am sure just having your daughter around meant a lot to you.<br />Love your pages, and yes, there are certainly lots of lines here. I mean - just look at her dress for starters.<br />Lovely autumnal colours and the choice of an owl is perfect for the month of October. We have one which screeches for a mate every night - well she did, but I think she has found one as we heard a 'twit to whoo' the other night and apart from that it has been quiet. <br />Thanks for the book review, will try to remember the Oliver Twist reading.<br />Hugs, Neet xx<br />Neethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279125547309537517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-11708616354582674722020-10-07T18:20:14.497-04:002020-10-07T18:20:14.497-04:00Lots of good books.

So does Lady Clementine, although I have a mixed feeling about historical-fiction biographies. I like them but never know where the "line" is. Still, as you said, a good introduction and I'd like to know more about her.<br /><br />I'm so sorry about Iceland. I'm able to empathize but that doesn't take you there. I hope next year or the year after all will be safe to fly and travel.

Great book round-up too. I hope you have a wonderful time with your daughter even though you can't get to Iceland. I'm sure you will find plenty to enjoy nearer to home together.<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-38302133097235973562020-10-05T12:58:35.263-04:002020-10-05T12:58:35.263-04:00WOW, oh WOW.

I didn't want to be forced to become a follower, which they say you MUST if you enter their challenges. Seems like holding a gun to my head in order to share my art. I'm delighted you shared it with Chris's theme at Art Journal Journey, though because it is perfect for her theme, too. SO many lines!!!<br /><br />Sorry to read that you and your daughter had planned to visit Iceland together. Maybe next year that will happen, or 2022 for sure. I look forward to sharing your time together through your camera lens.<br /><br />You read SO many books in a month. You must be a fast reader. I am not. People have told me they can't understand how I ever made it through school because I read every word. That Clementine Churchill novel sounds good, but so does the last one. When I was researching the Kings and Queens altered book I made for Kathy, I became even more familiar with the London fire, so I would LOVE to read that one. Give me a mystery and I'm a very happy camper.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1034532151955863306.post-41411236592087132442020-10-05T05:16:56.681-04:002020-10-05T05:16:56.681-04:00Love your artwork!

I have just recently started listening to audio books after reading a lot of e-books downloaded from our local library this spring & summer. I recently listened to Eight Perfect Murder (Peter Swanson) and recommend it. I'm currently listening to The 7-1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. I also read Lady Clementine and enjoyed it. Thanks for the heads up on Dickens novels and I will confess to not having read many, but will check our library's audiobook selection.Thi weekend, I picked up a reserved copy of One by One (Ruth Ware). The plot seems akin to a couple of Agatha Christie novels, wherein people in a group are being murdered. haven't gotten far into it yet.Beatrice P.
