Thanks Ti. I’m excited about all of these. Could be my best list, lol.

I’ve only read two of Lisa See’s books, but I enjoyed both of them. I think I’ll try this new book, and then I will think about reading some of her books that I have missed.

Thanks Jinjer …. I am keeping an eye on the horses down the street and perhaps I’ll get another picture. Black Beauty was kind to pose for me.
I’m already getting behind on the Books of Summer! But I will give a report of what I get to. I look forward to your reviews of books this summer as well.
Cheers!

Hi Rachel, glad to hear you are a fan of Heartland. Yes it’s filmed in various locations not far from here. I haven’t followed the show but it is cool to see the scenery (and animals) it uses.
And I’m glad you told me about Solo Stove … we are thinking now of getting one for our back deck. It seems pretty safe … and like it won’t catch anything on fire. That seems my husband’s main concern. Also that there’s no smoke is a huge plus! thanks for telling about the Stove. I’ll let you know if we get one. Cheers.

I have not read any of your Books of Summer choices so look forward to your reviews.

To answer your question on my blog about the Solo Stove, it’s wonderful! It puts out a good amount of heat with little or no smoke because of the design. I definitely recommend it! We ordered it with that metal surround so we could put our feet up on it, too.

I will email later but wanted to tell you I do have a summer list and just got The News from Dublin. Its a bunch of short stories and I’m not sure I knew that beforehand. Still, Colm Tóibín…so I like his books.

I finished the Matt Haig book, liked it but I think I liked The Midnight Library a little better. Almost done with Hotline, that’s on the kindle. Then….summer reading from library holds.

Hi Brona! great hearing from you … and I hope to visit your site more frequently now since getting back in touch. You’ve got a good book List as well. And good to hear how much you liked the new Strout novel …. I will get to it.
I just got Kin and John of John from the library … too bad they came in at the same time but I’m liking Kin so far! Good luck with your List & reads. And I hope you do see Prada 2 … I thought it was lightly entertaining. Cheers!

Hi Helen, thanks. Now I’m keeping tabs on Black Beauty down the street.
I’m hoping my List will be good … and I’ve heard good things about the new Strout. I have started Kin this week and I’m liking it. Good storytelling so far.
Enjoy your reads! & have a great weekend.
