Yes I understand RT. I have too many unread books on my shelves as well. I look forward to your reviews. Enjoy your August.

Wow Molly — you have a lot of Northeast experience. Good to know! You’ve moved around the US a bit.

Thanks Deb. I will stop by and check out your movie review. And yeah, I would give a chance to the Me Before You movie. It surprised me a bit.

Here’s my first (what?!!) movie review.

Yes… I actually lived in the Northeast from 1971-1990 (born in Houston). And we lived in NYC from 1984-1988. My first child was born there – and takes great pride is saying she is a Big Apple baby 🙂

Wow thanks Jane for the feedback on Dolly Parton. Red Rocks is so great! I will check out her new album. Yeah both Anthropoid and the Alaska novel I hope to get to! Thanks for stopping by.

Anthropoid sounds really good, actually. I tend to like movies like this one.

The book line up is amazing–the Alaska trek appeals to me so much, and then Christodoro and Another Brooklyn both sound good.

Oh good to hear Judy! Thanks for the rundown, luv it. Yes Sept. will be a major novel release month eh? I need to check out Commonwealth and likely The Wonder too. I’m glad to hear you loved The Snow Child — I must get it. Her second one sounds up my alley too. I liked Before the Fall as a thriller type — I thought the first part the best part, the crash’s aftermath was splendid. It fizzled for a bit at the end but a nice summer back deck read. I talked to the author at BEA — he’s coming back to Alberta to film the TV series Fargo; maybe I can be an extra in it ha!! LOL.

Hi Anne, yes the summer has been great, but we’ve had a ton of rain here — like 3 times the normal amount for July. Something strange is going on with these thunderstorms! 20 out of 31 days of rain, yikes. Are you getting that in Seattle? Anyways it’s still been good. I need to get to more reading though. How is your summer going? I’ll stop by and check your site …. on news.
