Vintage Postcards #1


One of my favorite haunts has boxes and boxes full of postcards, which are my all time favorite things to collect. I have one from almost every place I’ve been and one from every cracker barrel I’ve been in! When I dragged my dad to go to the secondhand bookstore I love, The Book Garden, I bought some of the most interesting ones, even if I haven’t been to the places yet. Here they are..



Yucca in Bloom in Southern California- postmarked March 28th 1933





Redwood empire in San Francisco





Ribbon Fall, Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park- pos marked 1929






St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol - a part of the Valentine’s series






5978 Skipton Castle, the courtyard- a part of the Grano series





Westminster Abbey, London- there is writing on it but no postmarks

Miracle Mountain (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #20) by J.L Bryan

      During the gold rush, prospectors came to Miracle Mountain in northern Georgia, looking for their fortune in the local waterways. Legend tells of a mysterious event, of a girl falling to her death from the local waterfall and miraculously coming back to life the next day. Tourists now come to this legendary location looking for a miracle of their own. Nearby is a rustic historical inn that welcomes visitors looking for their own miracle and a glimpse of the local ghost Freija. Ellie and her team are called in to help the owners get rid of the malevolent spirits that are scaring away business.      I love this entire book; I swear every time it gets scarier as the series goes on!

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

 Absolutely, hands down, my favorite book in the series. The entire evolution of the story is incredible. Thank gosh it was broken down into three parts because this bitch wouldn't be able to handle it otherwise.      LOVE the evolution of Nesta beginning to live and love herself, despite the darkness she's caused and witnessed. That she finds her reason for being and fights to retain it and fights to be a better version of herself constantly. Nesta finding her love in music and dancing, is so beautifully  written. The house being sentient being, even capable of complex emotion and understanding, is so beautiful. It gives Nesta the nurturing, respect, and love that her mother never gave her. Which while healing is something she desperately  needs especially because her mother was so absolutely awful to her. The addition of Emerie and Gwyn are the perfect characters to add and further broaden the family in the ACOTAR universe.       ...
