Hello my pretty punkins! This week, mum's the word as our List is derived from Alex Michaelides's 2019 novel The Silent Patient. It concerns a woman who seems to have it all until the night when she shoots her husband five times and from that moment refuses to speak a word. It is up to the (unreliable) narrator/therapist to find out what is going on with her. I quite enjoyed it, though I have seen it on one or two hate lists, too.
I thought that, although there are no ghosts or goblins in it, that this book was sufficiently October-ish for our purposes! What we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new, original poem of our own. Then just link up, visit others, and then help count the spoons at the local asylum where the Method of Doctor Tarr & Professor Fether is being strictly employed!
And now, your List:
bliss
camera
childhood
chilly
chiming
confetti
courtyard
darkness
dazzling
forgot
glass
jagged
maternal
mints
radio
remotely
siren
smoker
suit
vacant
