Thanks Dorothy …. for checking out my thoughts on the Dry. I actually thought it was the best of her three mysteries so far … but you might like those as well.

Hi Catherine, so glad you liked Benediction. Yeah his work is quite touching. I found it sad they couldn’t find their son in the story. ugh. I’m curious what you’ll think of Moonlight. It’s a bit potent and sad.

I haven’t seen Lion, but am going to try and see Moonlight this week. I saw Hidden Figures last week and it was so good!

Hi Judy, just got back from SF, good times! A short but sweet trip; blue skies there too. Yeah I sympathize with how the coyotes took your cats! We had that growing up there. Ugh. So painful. If they took my dog, I was ready to wage all out war on them. It was broad daylight, just a lone coyote that I saw but it ran right at my dog. She got away though, thankfully. I hope you get to see those films. I still need to see a few others before Oscar night.

Thanks JoAnn. Yeah I wouldn’t mind reading all of Haruf’s books in order. It’s been so long since Plainsong I don’t remember it. I think you’d like Benediction, if you liked the others.

Hi Anne, thanks. San Fran has been fun. 3 clear days down here, no rain! I wondered the same thing about Lion, but I’d go ahead & see the movie then read the book! I usually do that in opposite order but there’s no time. ha.

Thanks Deb, Yeah I heard such good things about Our Souls at Night and I think I will get to it this year. I enjoy his writing.
