The Hanging Tree – Ben Aaronovitch
I am so annoyed that I have to wait for the next book in this series. The last book, Foxglove Summer, was a bit of an interlude from the main story – who is the Faceless Man, and why is he fighting against the Folly? Well, interlude’s over, and Peter Grant’s very much back in

Flowers around Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire
We’re finally past mud season. Not that things are perfect yet, but there are blooms! Pretty much everywhere. (Most of the above came from the overflow parking lot at the Kittery Outlets, which was not where I was expecting to have a nice little wildflower walk.)
