Hi Catherine, great to hear from you. I have not read any of Harding’s other novels so I definitely think I should. I’m thinking of reading Tinkers in 2024. It received so many praises when it came out – I don’t know why I didn’t read it then. Thx for reminding me that I should read his backlist.
I guess GR goals are made to be broken sometimes. I think it’s Okay to sandbag it to reach it. I might do the same — as I’m not making any headway lately. Cheers!

I’m behind on mine as well and am thinking that maybe I’ve reached the point in life where I’ll just sandbag my goal for 2024 (25 books maybe) and then get to celebrate the victory of beating it repeatedly by year’s end.

I love Paul Harding and thought this book was as gorgeous as it was depressing (bc, of course, it’s true). Have you read any of his other books? They’re all wonderful.

Thanks Deb. I’m trying to catch up on the reading. Lol.
I think you’d like The Personal Librarian … and the Morgan library sounds so fabulous I’d like to go to NYC and visit it — perhaps next year (fall 2024) when there is an exhibit of Belle’s life there. The library collection sounds impressive and a lot was due to her. As a librarian, her tale might make you feel at home. ha.
Have a great week.

As a retired librarian, I have, in the past, actively looked for books featuring librarian characters. Not so much now.

I feel confident you will catch up in your reading. And I’m looking forward to hearing about the prize winners!

Hi Harvee, we only had one snowstorm but it has since melted away … and we are having much higher temps than normal now. Crazy how it changed quickly.
I tried not to say too much about The Rachel Incident so I wouldn’t give away the surprises in the book … I like how the author expanded the book in the 2nd half and found I liked the novel quite a bit. Glad to hear you read & liked it too.
Cheers & Happy reading.

Thanks LF. The dogs are good fun and with us everywhere. Sweeties really.
I’m discussing the Personal Librarian with my book club tonight so I will see if others liked it. I think it’s likely a good discussion kind of book and quite a life story. Enjoy your week.

I was surprised to see your dogs in snow! We haven’t had any snow as yet and I hope none will appear before Christmas!

I love how you can see their paw prints in the snow so clearly. My Riley was ball crazy like Willow. I still think of him often even though it’s been 1o years since his passing. I have wondered about The Personal Librarian and am so glad to see you liked it, Susan. It sounds like something I would definitely be interested in reading. I hope you have a great week!

Thanks Helen. I should include more photos of the dogs … they are a popular duo. The Personal Librarian is a great story and I’d think you’d like it. The Morgan Library in NYC is having an exhibition of Belle’s life next fall 2024 … which would be neat to see. Cheers. Enjoy the weekend.

Sure Anne. I’ll check out the quotes meme. Sounds good.
I admit that I had to listen to This Other Eden twice before really getting into the story. But it’s narrated well. There’s just a few characters that I needed to keep straight. See what you think. Cheers.
