Thanks Naomi, the tennis trip was fun and the 5 of us from our city did fairly well. The novel Us was good once I got into it.

I hope your tennis trip went well!

Thanks RT. I’m very much enjoying Ottawa, though the humidity here is quite high! I’m closing in on the end of The Sympathizer — will let you know.

Dear, I haven’t read either one, but I’m impatient to know your final review on “The Sympathizer”. “US” sounds like an appealing book.

Oh good to know Jane. Yes I guess you are right — it’s probably much more realistic the way it ended, but I guess I was hoping for a more happy ending but it wasn’t too bad either.

Ha ha. Tennis is still fun eh? I’m still battling. I’ve won 3 singles matches in the consolation draw, which is where you go after you lose in the main draw. Somehow they gave me the #1 seeded player 1st round, which didn’t go so well for me. Then I went into the consolation and have been doing okay. We will see.

I like the way the story resolved at the end–seemed pretty realistic to me, actually.

Hi Laurel, I think you might like Us. It’s another relationship/family kind of book on a trip across Europe. The characters grew on me after awhile. Sort of fun.

Thanks Rachel. I’m enjoying the tennis. I hope to give an update when I get back.
