That’s terrific Catherine – that you will have shot #1 today. Way to go. I feel so relieved now we have a reliable productive president in office. Oh gosh the previous four years were a nightmare. We might be able to get our vaccines here in April or May.
I think I decided to get to The Henna Artist after seeing your review. So thanks for that. I was impressed by the storytelling and was caught up in the story. I hope the sequel will be just as good & look forward to the characters again. take care.

I loved The Henna Artist and just a copy of the sequel- The Secret Keeper of Jaipur. I’m pretty sure it’s about Malik. I’m so excited.

Hi Ti, incredible you had rain there, wow! Might help with the drought, right? I definitely want to know about the Shuggie Bain novel and the Paula McLain one too. Your reading is on a roll! Have a great week.

Thanks Athira. I’m on Day 12 and do find these quarantines frustrating as I have taken 3 Covid tests in the past 2 weeks and have been negative on all of them. Still I’m staying at my house till I’m done with Day 14.
I would curious if you would like The Henna Artist, I think you would. It seems the author has spent a lot of time in India over the years with her parents there. Have a great week.

Both of the books you reviewed look pretty good too. I just finished that McLain book. Pretty good. I am hoping to write the review tomorrow and post soon. I caved and bought a copy of Shuggie Bain. That topic hits too close to home for me and I vowed I would not read it but I hit an indie bookstore and wanted to support them so I picked it up and read the first paragraph. It did me in. Had to buy it.

It’s rainy and cold today. We did take our walk but it was just too cold for both of us so we headed back early.

I’ve been curious about Henna Artist for a while so I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Didn’t know a movie was coming out and it will be nice to see Freida in that role.

Great Rachel: so glad you’ll be getting the vaccine. And I hope you have no side effects. I think you will like The Henna Artist. The character of Lakshmi has stayed with me quite a bit. Enjoy & have a great week.

The Henna Artist sounds right up my alley – I love books about and/or set in India. Thanks for the review!

Hey Iza. Yeah people were a bit crazy when things started to close down. I can only imagine the Library. The man you describe was greatly mistaken. Our Library here is just starting to open back up – after curbside pick up. We still don’t have much vaccines though. Stella is all too comfy!
Hope France is getting better – is the country using the AstraZeneca vaccine? Canada is using it. But we wouldn’t mind getting more Pfizer/Moderna vaccines. Enjoy your week.

Thanks Anne. Yeah I liked this second Ivey book though probably not as much as The Snow Child. I’m looking forward to spring. Hope your place in the NW is seeing some. I’ll stop your site soon. Enjoy your week.
