Friday Finds & Reader Recommendations – 01-31-2025

HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY READING WEEKEND!! It’s finally warm again (well… perfect weather in the 70s here in Florida), so I’m going to take advantage of the weather playing with my landscaping, planting and a bit of boring stuff… resodding an area that’s a hot mess. LOL!

But once I’m done with my outside world, I’m crawling into my inside world and reading my heart out.

What are you reading? Anything that I might love (or that WE all might love here?). Let me know! In the meantime, while I put this list together, I’m watching a horror (or is it a thriller?) “Cellar Door” (a beautiful house is gifted to a couple looking for a new start but they CAN’T open the cellar door or else they lose ownership). I love these kinds of stories, plus it’s actors I like. Eeeeeeeep! *fingers crossed* that it thrills and chills me.

Update —> Ehhhh… it’s good-ish but not worth the price I rented it for. Has an interesting twist but not jaw-dropping or anything. Had it been free, I would have liked it better. 😂 Sorry. *shrug*

A place only they control...”
