Done the first “Chirp” of The Cricket on the Hearth. Intriguing premise and setup!

Finished Part 1 of The Haunted Man. Wow! What a premise! The idea that our compassion for others comes from the pain, sorrow, and wounds we ourselves have gone through—AND what would happen if we were offered a supernatural freedom from all memory of that pain and sorrow… Fascinating so far!!

Finished The Battle of Life! What a beautiful story—and one of realism rather than involving the typical cast of paranormal but philanthropic beings or visitors at Christmas time!
Looking forward to The Haunted Man!

Continuing on with The Battle of Life! It’s not particularly Christmas in nature… 😅 I need to have this one and The Haunted Man finished up by the end of the month, so I can dive into Edwin Drood in August!

The opening coziness competition between the kettle and the cricket is so charming and wonderful!!
