It is Wednesday. I thought, nah… I can’t. I won’t. But then I did. It’s time for Friday Fictioneers and I’m maybe doing a little FanFic at the same time. I cannot remember the last time a book grabbed me so completely. And to think it’s an Audible one to boot. I think it’s thanks to Julie Harris’ fantastic reading of West With the Night that has so enraptured me. I’m maybe halfway through and I so highly recommend it my friends will think I’m a royal pain in the ass. What can I say? I love what I love… So yeah. Na’ama‘s wonderful photo could be used in so many ways. This is mine. Thank you, my NYNF. And thank you, Rochelle for tirelessly rounding us cats up!

Dark With the Night
Her light might have been the only one on in the building, not that she cared. A rumble of thunder had her glance through the window, enlightening her to the darkening sky. She mentally shrugged, took a sip of her tea, and re-immersed herself in the boar hunt in Africa…
…the belly of the earth was hot as live ash under our feet. Except for an occasional gust of fretful wind that flattened the high, corn-like grass, nothing uttered…
She sighed. Hemingway was right. “Bloody, wonderful book”.
Oh, I love a good read you can disappear into. Let alone when the world outside so dramatically adds to the mood

I’m always looking for a good book. I’ll have to look into that one.
You misspelled Hemingway the same way I always do. It should have two Ms, right? Like humming. Hemming and hawing.

I really enjoyed it and was sad to have it end.
Only one “m” in Hemingway…

I only pointed out the misspelling because I do it almost every time.

I didn’t realise I had stuttered when I typed! I know it’s one “m” and wondered why you were pointing out. D’oh! I just fixed it. And thank you 🙂
