In reply to TJ @ MyBookStrings. Hi TJ: Gosh I will have to check if my library has News of the World too. I definitely plan to get to it soon, but I have a book club read first. Did you know that News of the World just made the short list for the National Book Award? Wow, I had no idea it was that good. I can't wait to read it now. I will check out your German Lit month and see what books I should know about. thanks for stopping by!

In reply to The Reader's Tales. Oh that's too bad about Light Between the Oceans movie. What it portrays is not an easy situation (and is quite sad) but I guess it followed the book pretty closely. Better luck with Sully. ps. My dog, Stella, makes for a pretty good model. :-)

In reply to Naomi.

Yeah Naomi, I didn’t know who Lindy West was either. Now apparently she’s a columnist at the Guardian — so I guess with her book, she’s doing pretty well. I wish we had an Indian Summer here too, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen here this year. Ugh. I’m not ready for snow. I still need to take down the tomato plants — dead along the garden fence.

Hi Kathy — I hope the hurricane missed you in SC. Too bad about Sully — maybe another time! Enjoy your week.

Snow! My husband would be delighted. Me, not so much. I remember that landing on the Hudson quite well, and while I will probably have to wait to see the movie until it’s shown on TV, the previews of it look really good. My reading at the moment is all for German Literature Month, but I did see that the library now has News of the World, which you mentioned in a previous post. I would like to read it. Have you started with it yet?

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! Such a sweet Labrador pic!!
Oh last time I forgot to mention that we didn’t like the movie “The Light Between Oceans” But, I definitely want to watch Sully 🙂

While you were getting snow, we were getting uncommonly warm weather here on the East coast – I think it was 22C that day. We were camping that weekend, and even got in the lake (admittedly, the water was a little chilly). But the snow will be here soon enough. Any time, really – you just never know.

I love the sound of Lindy West’s book. I didn’t know who she was before this book came out, but she sounds pretty amazing.

Ugh, I hope we don’t get any snow at all this winter. I tried to talk my husband into seeing Sully but he wouldn’t go.

In reply to Darlene @ Lost in Literature.

Thanks Darlene for your points and glad to hear your family is Okay after the hurricane. I hear there is record flooding in NC — I can imagine its underwater in places. I hope the recovery goes smoothly. I’m sure it’ll take awhile. Yeah I wanted a postscript on the Sully film saying if the Captain flew again — for how many more years, or did he retire, or what exactly was his future after that. I can look it up. Have you seen the Deepwater Horizon movie? Oh my, it’s quite a film. Being an engineer, my husb said we had to see it, and we it was quite a heart-pumping film. Anyways, thanks for stopping by! talk later.

In reply to Judy Krueger. Oh thanks Judy for the report. I'll be curious to hear what you think of Hag-Seed. I never did see the Amy documentary but your note has moved me to see it in the near future. I had a friend in March who died of alcoholism so maybe I thought it would be hard to watch. But I am curious about it.
