It’s Okay. I thought I had commented something. But all fine. Things happen. Wishing a Happy Halloween in Colorado. Cheers.

BTW, I am back and I have to confess that on my previous post, I accidentally deleted your comment. I was traveling and my head wasn’t in the game. Sorry about that!

Hi Jane, I need to stop by your site to see if you’re back from your trip and how it went. Wouldn’t it be cool to meet up at the next big march in Denver sometime down the road…. I was sorry to miss No Kings this time.
I didn’t realize you were once a copy editor too … yay! The Fact Checker is a quirky thing but see what you think. And Death of Us was worthwhile as well though it gave me quite a chill thinking of it too much.
Hope all is well. Cheers.

Thanks JoAnn. Actually I’ve waited almost two years on a wait list for my second knee replacement so I’m glad to finally be called about it. It’s my preferred time of year for it too, so fingers crossed it goes well. And I’ll be very curious to see what wins the Booker. I hope to get to Flesh and Sonia & Sunny sometime next year likely.
Really good to hear of your No Kings protest! That’s awesome. So glad it was so positive and peaceful. I hope there are more to come. Cheers. Have a great weekend.

Hi Ti, good hearing from you. Sorry about your work going nutty.
We had snow on Oct. 12 but then it melted after a couple days. It’s been mild and pretty warm since. Windy weather.
Your group reads sound interesting. I’ll stay tuned to see what you review. I think I’ll get to Heart the Lover in Dec. which I know you read & liked. Cheers. Enjoy the weekend.

The Fact Checker definitely appeals to me. I started my working life as a copy editor as well, and wish it was still a viable job! I just requested a copy from my library.

The Death of Us also sounds pretty interesting as well, though I appreciate the cautions.

You’ve already had snow? I will say that this morning’s walk was a bit brisk. Had to add a cardigan for comfort. It’s been pretty mild here. Even our summer wasn’t too bad.

I am terribly busy with nonsense at work but I am trying to catch up with blog reading, the blog and yes, reading in general. I have been doing a lot of group reads which kind of slows things down. Not everyone reads at my pace.

Hi Tracy, thanks I have fingers crossed about my knee surgery – so soon coming.
The Audition novel is a bit of a puzzle … but not sure it stayed with me long. And I normally don’t read crime books – especially a home invasion is scary in The Death of Us. The Fact Checker is a bit different, and interesting that you read a mystery on a similar topic of something bad happening on an organic farm.
You read good ones on various topics. I like the sound of the Train mystery (love the Australian setting) and the other with the detective with Asperger’s. I look forward to your reviews of both. Cheers. Hope you have a great week.

Hi Rachel, yes the No Kings protests had a good showing! It’s one spark of good news. And we had snow on Oct. 12 but now we are having highs in the 60s! Much warmer than usual. I’m sure it’s gorgeous where you are.
Your Italy trip will be great and it’s quite a coincidence you are doing a New Yorker cover puzzle now after my review. Love the covers on the magazine! I look forward to seeing your pic of the puzzle. You might like The Death of Us book. Some parts painful other parts interesting. Cheers. have a great week!
