September: What are you reading?
Comments (150)I'm reading a Beverley Nichols book, Father Figure which gives his account of growing up with an alcoholic parent. His official biography by Bryan Connon, which I read last year, had raised many questions about the accuracy of his memories (BN wrote the book when he was quite old) so it's interesting to compare BN's first-person account with his biographer's POV. A quick read, and some interesting background on Nichols as a writer. I've also been dipping into The Book of Lost Books: An Incomplete History of All the Great Books You'll Never Read by Stuart Kelly. So far, I'm through the Greeks, and I'm amazed at how many plays, poems, etc., are referenced in other places, but the original text does not exist. I'm also amazed the author has spent so much time tracking down these sorts of things. Overall, quite interesting....See MoreFotess September Swap...Falling for Fall
Comments (387)Way back on Sept 30 I posted that prizes for winners would be sent over the next couple weeks. Well it is more than a month later and my shipment of bulbs finally arrived today. My sincere apologies to, Margo, Katie,Annie, Ruth and Shirley ( BG) for the delay. Mail will be sent Thursday and Friday and I will post DC #'s then. Best I can say, besides I'm sorry is what my Grandmother used to say about late BD presents..... "It makes the fun last a bit longer when it doesn't all come at the same time."

Comments (87)I finished Harold Fry last night. I'm going to say it was just okay and don't think I would recommend it. In fact, during parts, even towards the end, I was almost tempted to bail, but I wanted to find out how it ended. Slightly spoilerish: Early on I figured out the part about his son, although not in detail. In a way it hearkened back to Eleanor Oliphant which I thought did a much better job of it. The group that accompanied him on part of his journey annoyed me, and it seemed to be the point at which I considered simply not finishing it. By then Harold was really unraveling and I guess it's not my favorite thing to read about in fiction....See MoreWhat are you reading? September 2022 Edition
Comments (123)I love Atonement. I just finished Fox Creek (Cork O'Connor) by William Kent Krueger, 3 stars. It was basically bad guys chasing good guys through the forest. There was initially some mystery and tension to it, but it just got long and drawn out. Where has tight, edge-of-the-seat storytelling gone? Yesterday, at about the 2/3 point, I went searching online for the ending, because I was tired of the narrative. I couldn't find it anywhere! No spoilers. So I buckled down and finished the darn thing. The character development doesn't amount to much. There's a strong Native American element that runs through it. And the force/thing driving the bad guys, some made up thing that I stopped caring about. I need to go back and read Ordinary Grace to remember why I love this guy's writing....See Moreblue_jean_baby
