Yeah Lesley …. I was interested to hear your thoughts about American Dirt …. people seem to either love it or hate it …. I was sort of in between … but I have nothing against her writing it etc. I am curious too about The Lost Children Archive but it’s a long TBR list I have currently. I think American Dirt does inspire more reading on the subject — so that can’t be bad at all. You’re right. take care.

Hi Donna: thanks for stopping by … American Dirt seems an audio kind of book — since it’s a thriller. I hope to stop by your site soon and see what you’re reading. Cheers.

Thanks Heather, I dont think there’s a real need to read American Dirt, there’s plenty of migrant books out there. I still hope to get to The Shadow of the Wind and I’m glad you liked it. Who knows when I’ll be able to see my folks but we continue to do Zoom calls. I’m still thinking of trying to get there in August but the virus cases seem to be rising. Sigh. Have a great 4th!

I heard Book 2 The Angel’s Game was much darker than Book 1 and therefore readers liked it less than Book 1, but I need to find out for myself if that is the case. We will see once I get to it.

Thanks Susan.

And yes, we really should make time. I was downstairs cleaning up my basement book area and came across the second book in the series and was thinking the same thing.

I’m so sorry you haven’t been able to visit your parents. I hope you will find a way to do so soon.

I am so sad to hear about the death of Zafon’s death. I loved The Shadow of the Wind. I still haven’t read the rest of the series, though. I need to get on that. I hope you enjoy your week and everyone stays healthy and safe!

Hi Anne: recently we’ve had a ton of rain here. Can’t wait for summer to start. thanks for stopping by.
