Thanks Iliana. Yes I’m always curious what my reading stats will tell me and what direction I’ve gone in. Do you like to keep stats? You might like Crying in H Mart. It’s a sad, poignant story and I sympathized with the author Michelle quite a bit. Much Korean food in that memoir! I hope all is well with you. Enjoy your week.

Hi Harvee, interesting I didn’t know about the disorder but loved the novel too. I’m glad you also liked it. The math teacher was great. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.

Thanks Shelleyrae, I managed to get to my goal somehow at the last minute. You had a great reading year too. I will keep checking your site for notable Aussie reads. Cheers!

Hi. I will have to see about A Fine Balance. If you’re reading it twice that’s good news.
And I might pass on Honor for now — it might be a bit gruesome I hear, but I can highly recommend The Story Hour. I liked that one, and hope to sometime read The Secrets Between Us. Hope all is well there.

thanks Stargazer. I’m hoping author Yoko Ogawa will write something new soon. I’ve liked the 2 books I’ve read of hers.
Meanwhile, are you inundated with Prince Harry news? Sigh it’s crazy. take care.

No, I never did read the sequel, but I think I might like to. I’d also like to read Honor, her most recent novel. Oh, and The Story Hour is on my list, as well.

I’m currently reading A Fine Balance (Rohinton Mistry) for the second time. It’s such a marvelous story and one that I’m happy to revisit.

Wishing you a great reading week

We definitely like some of the same books – not Small Things Like These, though 😉 And yes of course, I remember the Greenland expedition, now you mention it. Have a great week too!
