Mstrust's Dark & Stormy Challenge

I'm Jennifer in Phoenix. I've been LTing since March of 2008. I live with husband Mike and boxer Coral.
I bake, grow vegetables, succulents and cactus. I visit family in Vegas a few times a year. And I write a weekly Substack called Autumn Lives Here. If you like horror, true crime, terrifying travels, book reviews and scary short stories, drop in.

This year, I'll be hosting two months at ScaredyKit. February will be "Haunted Houses/ Haunted Places" and June will be "YA & Graphic Novels". I'll also host "Paranormal Mysteries" in April at MysteryKit.
I don't have any specific reading goals for the year other than to hit 50% in my ROOTs challenge. I'm a slow reader, but just know that so much of my time is spent researching and writing. I'm plan on being pretty loosey-goosey this year.



And you are welcome to push my creaky front door open!

I grew up with The Addams Family and The Munsters, Jennifer. I preferred the Munsters, I think.

I will do my best to visit as often as I can in 2025.

By the way what are the "succulents" you mention in >1 mstrust:?

>3 Carmenere: Thanks, Lynda! I wonder what I'll do this year too!

>4 PersephonesLibrary: Hi Kathy! Two great shows; why did we ever stop wearing floor length gowns made from coffin liner material? So flattering.

>5 PaulCranswick: Hi Paul, thanks for dropping in! It probably won't surprise you that my mother had feelings about these two shows. It was, "The Munsters look scary but they act pretty normal. I like The Addams Family more because they look pretty normal but they're so weird." Sort of the whole 'homicidal maniacs blending in' thing. I like both shows and What We Do In the Shadows too.
Succulents are often grouped in with cacti because they often enjoy similar living conditions. Succulents are your jade plants, aloe, fire stick, and such. They require more water and, usually, less sun that a cactus.

Welcome back, Jennifer! Unfortunately, LT’s wiki system is down, but I’ve got you on my list to add to the Threadbook as soon as it’s back up.
