sixth book of 2025. #booksky #writingcommunity #freelance "sometimes her work was still rejected by the first publication she sent it to, but instead of becoming discourage she simply sent the piece elsewhere until it was accepted..." #canadianlit 1/2

Which #bronte book or biography of #charlottebronte do you reccommend I read next? As a lifelong reader and an English major, I'm surprised to say I'd never read Jane Eyre. loved it. #booksky Loving my #libbyapp #brontesisters

A liitle #hike on a no-shopping #blackfriday #optoutside #newhampshire

I'm a hiker but today, as a foot of snow fell in New Hampshire, was the first time I've ventured out in snow, trading my trail runners for borrowed logger boots! #hiking #winterhiking
