Yep Naomi, Washington Black ended up being my pick of the year. I found it had very enjoyable storytelling in it and an interesting story. The novels The Power and Varina were close behind as my picks. The movie of The Wife is worth seeing though it is quite staggering to think about. Cheers.

Ha! But I would also love to see The Wife. Although, I’m afraid it’ll make me mad!
I’m glad you loved Washington Black so much. Off to see if it held up as your pick of the year!

Merry Christmas Catherine! Hope you got a lot of new books to review :-). I’m staying away from news of the WH while here so I’m enjoying life. I got a new stack of books today so I’ll add it onto the rest. Enjoy your holidays!

Please ignore the insane rantings of the unhinged man in the WH while you are here. Oh and the stock market crashing over 600 points in a half day- thanks to him.

Anyway, I haven’t read Kinship of Secrets but have a copy so am thinking about it. Just not sure it’s right for me right now.

As for movies, I would love to see The Wife. I’m ready for On the Basis of Sex- may actually go tomorrow!

Hi Ti: I’m psyched to fly to the OC this weekend. Woohoo. At least I’ll be shopping on Christmas Eve day so I still think I can cope. 🙂 I’ll be curious about the new Mary Poppins with Emily Blunt. Looks pretty good. Have a Merry Christmas!

They like the thrill of it. Me, not at ALL I don’t even like it now.

You are so good with your movie watching. I have heard of the movies you mentioned but have I seen them? Nope. I do hope to see the new Mary Poppins movie on Christmas Day though.

I think you will have some good weather when you get here. It’s drizzled a little yesterday and the air is so clean right now.

JoAnn: I still need to read Pachinko. I’ve been saving it for forever! And I really think you’d like the audiobook of Washington Black. Very engaging …. as well as the movie of The Wife. Find it if you can. Merry Christmas to you, too. I am certainly getting pumped up about our travels and the holiday. Enjoy!

I love audiobooks, too, so will try that route. The Kinship of Secrets sounds fascinating, too. After reading Pachinko, I’ve become more interested in stories about Korea. We’ll see if I can get to it.

I read The Wife earlier this year before the movie was released and loved it. Unfortunately I never did get to the theater to see the film… will try and borrow it from the library.

Safe travels and happy holidays. I think the Christmas Eve shopping would stress me out, lol!
