Yeah Jane, it was a great trip. We had to go searching for the statue. My husband had a map of all of the statues in Central Park so we were able to find it. You can get it perhaps on your phone while you’re walking there. I might even go back next year. Hmm.

I haven’t seen the statue of the Falconer on any of my trips to the city (we always go to Central Park), so I’ll be looking for it next time.

Thanks Laurel: I’d like to see the Hemingway and Gelhorn movie. I’ll look for it on Prime. I did enjoy the Paula McLain book on them. The NYC trip went much better than I expected and I might even consider a trip there next year.

Your mention of Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn reminded me that I have a Meg Waite Clayton book about them: Beautiful Exiles. I need to read it! I saw a movie about them, too…on Prime.

Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.

Hi JoAnn: thx for the note. Wow NYC was fun, who knew? It’s funny how many books your daughter & I seem to share. We have good tastes! Was she born under the Virgo sign? Glad she liked The Falconer and has Dreyer’s English in her sights. I’m just finishing the audio of Mrs. Obama’s book and I think she has read that one as well. Excellent.

We were there at Christmastime and I’m already looking forward to another visit this summer. My daughter’s reading is mirroring yours. She recently loved The Falconer and saw the author at an event at Book Culture on the Upper West Side. Dreyer’s English is near the top of her tbr. I hope to get to that one soon, too.

Thanks for telling me about this Carmen. I’m really sorry about this. I have checked and haven’t found any more comments so far, even in the Spam folder. I will keep looking to see if I can find out what happened. I didn’t realize you had sent anymore. crimminy. I hope my system is not on the fritz. I will let you know if I find them.

Hey Carmen, thanks for your nice comments! NYC really surprised me; I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, but it was all quite easy to maneuver and a lot we got to see. We were there like 6 days so we did try something new each day. You’ve seen a lot there too. We took some photos of the Statue of Liberty from the Staten Island ferry but did not go there. I about lost my cookies at the 9/11 Memorial Museum tour, so beware it is intense in places. The bookstore & the Falconer are neat memories, yeah fun. But if you can believe it: the Lee Israel movie ended before the flight so I have to see it again, but I liked it!

You visited places in NYC I’ve never been to, like the 9/11 Memorial, the Bookstores, and Central Park. I’ve visited the Empire State (twice), the Statue of Liberty, the Met, Ripley’s and Madam Tussaud’s Museums, I’ve been on a guided tour about the city and the islands, and I look forwards to many more visits, but I confess the 9/11 Memorial would be too much for me. I had a hard time coping, back when all that happened.

Anyways, how cool that you visited the same bookstore that Lee Israel scammed. 😉 Did you like the movie? It’s also a cool coincidence that you got to see The Falconer statue as you were reading (and enjoying) the novel it is mentioned in. You made nice memories, and now you can always associate the movie and the book with NYC. 🙂
