Hi friends! I’m in such disbelief about it being October already. I feel like September was the fastest month of this year!
I think that might be because it was a very busy work month and I pushed to do a lot of fun things outside of work…
like going to the beach 🏝️
or taking a mini road trip to South Carolina 🚙
or going on a very random trip to Oklahoma City! 🌆
I feel like October is going to go just as fast! And I don’t want it to… I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. 🍁
How about you friends, was your September fast, was it fun-filled or work-filled? 😊

Hi! Happened to see your comment, lol. I am waiting till the cover reveal on Oct 25 to open up the pre-order, it should be available for pre-order thst day or the next. Thanks!
Your trips look like so much fun! Such an adorable companion too! September was my 50th wedding anniversary and I also went to the beach. However I live in Washington State so the beach was on the Olympic Peninsula so it was not very warm. We did some hiking on the beach and in the rainforest and it was lovely. We do have a trip planned this winter to visit New Zealand (where we will spend 3 weeks hiking) for a special anniversary treat. So this fall I can look forward to getting into shape for doing daily hikes. Hoping to see lots of pretty scenery here while I do that. But plenty of reading to do in between!
Looks like an awesome October! Thank you for hosting my cover reveal
September? What did I do? Well for a start we had a lovely week with no rain (a rarity this summer) so I did three full days of washing while I could hang it out and get it dry!!!! It shows what an awful year we’ve had if that is memorable! I’m hoping for better weather in October? I see you went travelling as usual, many thanks for sharing your photos.
September was fast.
Here’s a book you might want to consider adding to a list for a contemporary twist on EMMA:
THE MERRY MATCHMAKER by Sheila Roberts. Published Oct. 1, 2024
Love seeing that you’ve gotten out and about. What a wonderful reading and visiting line-up you have for this month. I’m super curious about that older sequel to Mansfield Park.
Have a lovely October, Meredith!
Hi Meredith,
What a busy month! Love your pics of your travels
My September was a busy 9ne too with both work and celebrations because some of my relatives (as me) were born in September so there were lot of birthday parties LOL
I like that you include in your October agenda some readings about Mansfield Park and Emma. And I’m curious about Brandon Dragan’s new book
Happy October readings!
By the way, my friend, when you say: “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” , are you quoting Anne Shirley? It seems so Anne-ish!!
Great lineup!
I love your pictures. I always feel like I’ve been on vacation with you. Thanks for sharing.
