Fall 2023 Newsletter

Adjusting to a new season can be a mix of daunting and exciting. Shorter days, but cozy fires. Will last winter's clothes still fit? Time to plan the holidays, which means different things to different people. Thanksgiving is my favorite because it's a chance to gather with beloved relatives, cook together, hangout, take long walks, catch up.

Katia Lief and 15 other people liked Belle's review of Invisible Woman: "This one is 5 stars for me and it’s going to get overlooked. I just know it. It’s only rated at 3.73 so far.

Quotes by Katia Lief (?)

“we were never here nor there, never allowed to be happy or allowed to be sad.
Darkness and light, black and white, good and evil. Memories and new experiences were polar opposites requiring the same host: you.”
― Katia Lief, Watch You Die
