It’s the best(ish) month of the year!

Honestly, for 97% of this video my eyes are open. How does the little gremlin that lurks in my computer always always ALWAYS choose the dorkiest photo for the thumbnail? If I ever get hold of him…to the moon!

“We Gather Together (to Ask the Lord’s Blessing”) is the hymn that started my love of Thanksgiving songs. I’ll be singing/praying the final stanza over my persecuted brothers and sisters in Nigeria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahjZhZygvOY

Do I have to link purchasing etc. items for “To Kill a Mockingbird?” Let me know. If you can’t find it or afford it, I’ll send you a copy. But truth be told, this time I listened on Audible. Sissy Spacek narrated. Say, she is talented. Could be a big name someday.

Since it is brand new, “The Broken Weathervane” by Laura DeNooyer might be harder to find. Here is what it is about:

Two co-workers seek the same information. One wants to publish it; the other has good reasons to keep it hidden.

As Leslie Wickersham, Raymond University grants officer, seeks information to unravel a family mystery, English professor Gregory Stafford seeks an elusive interview with one more Buckwalter relative for his upcoming author biography. While Greg and Leslie guard coveted details from each other, her goals are further complicated by letters of blackmail threatening to reveal all she has worked hard to hide.

In this dual timeline novel alternating between 2015 and the 1950s, loyalty is tested and secrets abound when family honor collides with truth. Leslie grapples with the trade-off: how far will a person go to help a loved one thrive?
