Catching Autumn in November 2021

The autumn season is coming to a close in it's final month before winter season begins. I don't know what November has in store for us but I am sure it will be filled with things we need in our lives.

Before getting this month's monthly post , I was a bit absent last month. The Reason being there was a lot happening personally and professorially and time got away from me. As you might of seen my written piece about my Nene went up before this one. I was in my head the last month, I spend nights and many moments just lost in another world of my own thoughts. I had so much I want to say ,to express about her and then the anniversary of her passing came before I knew it . It was like my heart knew it and felt like I was reliving those nights of last year all over again. But by saying that I got through it and wrote about living without her presence. I felt that was the best way I could say what I was feeling and maybe I didn't tap into everything I felt in those words but my only hope is that I did her justice. Also I have the piece linked down below if you haven't read it yet. I hope you did read it and you do if you haven't.

Back to this month post, Can you believe we are already in November ! It feels like we are still in September in my opinion or maybe I am just in that blur of the season changing and daylight savings time happened. I can't believe we are even closer to the holiday season either, I mean what happened to the year? Who else is with me on that ? And just a secret between you and I ...I am not ready for turkey season or Christmas yet. And it just occurred to me that they are so close, it could be due to last year and it still feels like last year in way. I am not ready for those extra calories and to burn them off before Christmas. But I think once we are in the between the holidays with hot coco and family around it will feel more real to this year, like the warm hug we all have missed last year.

I will be releasing two book reviews this month from October reads. I am excited to share these two novels both polar opposites of each other in story lines but both of them are fictional novels. The first one is called The Book of Candlelight by Ellery Adams and the other is called 365 days by Blanka Lipinska. Both novels are both equally thrilling in there own way and I highly recommend both of them to anyone that needs a good book to escape to. So keep your eyes out for that spicy reviews coming your way very soon ! I finished them both fairly quickly back to back and I am currently reading a witch novel the prequel to practical magic. I thought it would be fitting for the spoke season and let me say so far it's a beautiful novel so far but I don't exactly to finish it to quickly just yet. I feel like this particular deserves a slow burn. And I am through with the novel in fact, maybe in fact you will get three book reviews in one. Lucky you guys! Just don't ask me how many books I haven't read in my library still. Let's agree I have a little problem of picking up books when I am out and about just like picking up a snack for the road on a trip.

On the writing front, I know you are all keen for more pieces. I would say, I know I keep repeating myself on this but more is coming. I have sticky notes of notes about things to write about. And unfinished stories that need to be finished.. to be honest they have been sitting in a few notebooks of stories that hold lots of raw feelings. Those pieces are the type of stories that meant to be release when they are meant to be read. Like I have always said before I believe my written pieces are meant to be shared when I get that feeling that someone out in this world needs to hear them, at least one person to know they are understood. To add a little tease factor I have had this little Christmas story on my heart to share for quite some time meaning a few years now. Maybe this year I will share it as my closer to the year, I have been tossing it around my thoughts lately since we are near the snowy season.

To end of this little very late monthly post because someone meaning me forgot to finish this on time again, I will be better next month! I promise ! I hope this month treats you right, the weather is enjoyable where you are located. I hope your family is happy, healthy and near to you all as well. I hope you are being successful in the path you are on currently. And like I said previously I will be adding so much to misread over the next few days, weeks. The book reviews will be posted most likely in one or two posts. So keep your eyes out for those! I will try not post everything close together that way you guys can enjoy them. A little secrets between you and I..I added a few new item in my store for black Friday! Happy little surprise! But I can't tell what they are , you have to go see what they are ! And wait to at least friday morning to see the new items !

Look at my Zazzle Shop:https://www.zazzle.com/store/cassiemisreadstore

If you don't see an Happy Thanksgiving post from me ,Happy Thanksgiving! I will cooking in the kitchen most likely all day long because some how one important meal takes all day but a normal meal takes one hour versus what feels like twenty- fours hours to eat it a plate of food in thirty minutes. How, I don't even understand anymore but at least the food is worth the wait .

From my family to yours , I hope the day is beautiful one and all your friends and family around and above all that the feast is perfect!

Always,

See you sooner than later!

The Book of Lost Names Book review

MORE Than a Five STAR Rating !!!!!!

This September month's Book Review is about The book of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel. Yes it's another Historical fiction world world two novel. Let me just say I just finished this book and I still feel like I am part of the novel, living the story as my it's my own life in the sense ;maybe a past life. When I say towards the end of the novel it was part of me, I had dreams of living it. I don't know why I did but this novel stuck to me in the best ways, I will try to explain why. Bottom line before I get into it , you need to buy this novel ,end of story!

My very first thought starting the novel Kristin had me within the first few lines and I couldn't even put it down and when I had to my thoughts were about it. I was hooked completely and if you read my last book review, this one blew it out the water instantly. A little heads up there are two timelines through out the novel from May 2005 to back in June 1942 but as reader you barley even notice the changes between the two. Which is bonus in my opinion being such a well written novel. It feel like being right beside Eva Traube as a young graduate student through Eva Traube Abrams in her golden years.

This story is about Eva Traube in her golden years sees her book , The book of Lost Names on the front cover of the New York Times. The book that she risked everything for in her former life sixty- five years ago. And a secret to an answer that haunts her for all these years lies with the pages. Going back in time to rescue not only the book but who she was and when her story began forced out of Paris when her father was arrested. Also becoming a skilled document forger along the way to save the lost children.

"The book I last laid eyes on more than six decades ago.

The book I believed had vanished forever."-The Book of Lost Names

I wish If there was a real book of last names in every "War" in the past, in the present. So those have been lost, have been taken can be remembered. Given back to those who lost them the most. I can highly relate to that and I why I created Misread to never be forgotten. In the world we live now, there are stories that no one knew about war, I am hopeful that maybe someone was creative to do something like for the world to find eventually.

Before the last chapter or towards the ending, I had my own thoughts how she would write the end. And it tossed my thoughts towards the opposite direction because I didn't think she would of went there, its hard to explain. In the last three pages of the novel, I literally shouted, holy( fill in the blank here.) out loud. I had just no words, mind blown on how it finished. I don't even want to give away a word about it , I would spill everything in seconds. I only wish in the reality, could have a love, a story as Remy and Eva have. Kristin Harmel needs to a part two ( An extension) of their story. I need to know more about them as individuals and about their days apart to the days.

And if you were wondering , why this review is a bit short. I meant it to be like I said before I am trying very hard not to spoil one bit of the book because it's such a worthy read. So purchase a copy and see why I kept my book lover mouth shut as much as I could. I need someone that already read the novel so I can spill my thoughts fully .

Best wishes,

September The Touch of Fall 2021

September is finally here and the autumn feels are slowly creeping into the scene. The early morning hours have a light chill to start the days and in the evening nights smell of fall approaching in the wind.

Before I get into this months monthly post, I would like acknowledge the people we lost on 9/11. The Fathers, the Mothers, the Sons, Daughters that were taken away all to soon and left feeling their void forever. Each remembrance day still feels fresh and reliving the moment in time over again. On each 9/11 I stay silent, I stay off social media out of respect in the way for them and light a candle. And I also want to pay my respect for the thirteen fallen we lost in Afghanistan last month, they fought , they protected and to left their loved ones lost for words along with the rest of America. The moments that I wished didn't happen in history and may they rest in peace.

Today as I am typing this up September ninth , I have been dragging in energy that I had to make a mini coffee at 2:00 PM. And also on this day as well would mark two years since Samson passing he was one great handful of a German Shepard, I added a new flag to his spot, the flag is very fitting to this personally. And one dog that can't be forgotten nor replaced. He will be forever changing sunlight reflections and taking all the toys for himself. I am sure Mr. Max has been missing him the most. Maverick, Samson's twin is more like him everyday and bossing the other two around. I don't know if that's a good thing or a scary thing , I am left undecided but Maverick makes things interesting everyday. And not leaving Mason out of the post but in short , Mason is just the hunter of the pack while being needy all at once. In short the zoo over here keep everyone and anyone on their toes, Jolly Joe included.

September leading into the fall season which my favorite season to be in but it feels the most heaviest seasons in memories at least and with time it seems less painful and more enjoyable to remember the memories that sweep by each day. I find with each year that I might not remember exact date of a each hard memory but I feel in my heart, in my soul the environment feels off around then the missing piece of a another life comes hitting but with good memories. We may be changing seasons and the in-between stage physically in life, I look at it has," The heart coming home "in a sense; I don't know what else to call it has. I may be the only one feels like this when it comes to beginning of the Autumn.

On the flipside during the beginning of the Fall season, I am the most creative. Thinking of the stories untouched and the stories that haven't been written but are on my heart. Trust me when I say I have notebooks of stories, loose pages begging to be finished. I think of the stories I have written that in the past that hold feelings that I only understand about certain memories. And a little secret to share, I sometimes I go back through the original hand written ones and remember every feeling I had writing them. Even the ones that made assumptions about but no one would really know the details behind them all and they say writers have the most secrets written down in code.

Maybe one day I will Re-release the stories that were most popular and made Person Misread take off originally. Those ones were the ones that I was constantly messaged about. I repeat Maybe I will you never know what could happen..

Switching gears at the beginning of the month, I found myself back at the beach again. I finding it a common occurrence lately but I am not complaining one bit. I ate at a new place called Hennessy's Tavern and it didn't disappoint the reviews were spot on. Most definitely go at happy hour just before the sunset, the pretzel bites were amazing as a starter. I had the burger of the month as my main : Beer Cheese Bavarian and it was yummy, the fries were beyond perfect. And yes I hear you, you choose a Burger out the whole menu; I was craving a burger in the moment. I would go back there for another round of yummy food again. And just the same as the last trip out the beach, the following morning ,I was at the beach passing time with yet another book while listening the ocean waves. The book am currently reading is even better then the last one if you can imagine. The Author had me on the hook by sentence four! And the book is called , The Book Of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel. Can't stop reading it , I only wish I wrote it is all I have to say for now. And also if If I go on about the novel , I will ruin the book review in a heartbeat. To add I didn't make a scene this time in front of the lifeguard station by losing a flip-flop, I stuck to my walking shoes this trip. I think the same lifeguard remembered me but I kept walking focused on not to lose a shoe this time on the pavement nor spilling a drop of my coffee. Overall the trip was successful with lovely beach weather with an amazing sunset witnessed to add in the books.

Now that I let the cat out of the bag so to speak of; you know what's this months book review is, I should close out this post before I let anything else slip my lips that's in the works. So let me say this, times are changing and life can be chaotic at the moment, things can change in a nanosecond. Remember no matter how hard things can be, look at the good memories , the good moments happening, stay alert and be present in reality. Time only goes one way choose how to spend it wisely but don't forget to enjoy it as well. Okay, I will share one more quick thing, This blog has changes coming , new things coming and more. Like the song I should be go to be bed, I should go before I say Anything else to get myself in trouble.

Best Wishes,

Misread
