Hi Stargazer, thx I don&#039;t think I will be able to top that sky photo. It&#039;s my fav so far. And I&#039;m glad to hear your thoughts on Ali Smith&#039;s books ... her Winter book would be good to get to during this very cold season here. I just got the library audio of her novel Gliff, so I will try it out. It seems pretty short ... 5 hrs on audio. I&#039;m a complete newbie to Smith so I will go in blind, lol. The language and wordplay she uses might outweigh some other things. We&#039;ll see.  Cheers.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I love the colours of your sky photo, such a vibrant winter picture. There certainly seems to be a lot of new releases coming out. Ali Smith is a bit hit-and-miss for me. She can be a bit heavy-handed with her political messages, but her creative play with language is second to none. If you want to give the Seasonal Quartet a go, I would recommend Winter, which is my favourite in the series and the only five star. Will see what the reviews say about her new one before deciding.]]></description>

Hi Ti -- I agree with you. These are all so troubling and dangerous - what the new regime is doing. And the crash was a terrible accident - preventable ... I just wish there weren&#039;t military helicopters flying near the airport so much -- that makes me nervous. When I lived there -- they were in &amp; around there ... too much congestion in that narrow strip.  
I hope the scourge in office doesn&#039;t mess with Canada ... people are fearful and pulling away from the U.S. and its products.  Enjoy your books.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[First off, the DC crash all on its own was just horrible. To think those folks were so close to being home, too. And all the young people. Some families entirely wiped out. And then you have the orange pop tart laying blame on the female heli pilot and chalks it up to DEI even though she was highly decorated. People makes mistakes. 

Oh, the tariffs. He really has no clue how they work. I mean, how many times has he been bankrupt? And his sweeping tariff threats now messed up deals for both Ivanka and Jared. Oh well. 

Do I even mention Elon and his band of child hackers?

Ok. Sorry. I couldn&#039;t help myself. Books. I need more books. I just requested Gliff from the library based on your mention. I have a book that was sent to me for review. It&#039;s a memoir about travel and a house and I think it will be good as a distraction. Oh, and Butter is so good!! The book and the dairy item.]]></description>

Thanks Jane. Glad you like these preview posts. Yeah the Brooks book looks pretty sad .... so hold off on it if needed. The Didion one was one of the saddest ever, argh. And I agree a Bridget Jones movie without Mark Darcy is like whhhhaat?  There&#039;s probably no point to it really. Hmm. 
But I&#039;m hoping too The Americas might do the trick this month. Have a great month.]]></description>

Hi Haze, thanks. It might be the best pic I&#039;ve ever gotten of the sunset, Lol. Things here have been freezing the last few days. So cold. I have to take our dogs for walks but I don&#039;t want to. I hope you enjoy these new releases .... Yellowjackets seems wild and different. Stay indoors! But happy reading.]]></description>

Hi Carmen, sorry for my delayed response and thanks -- glad you like the photo. How are you doing and what&#039;s been happening?  We had a cold patch come through, ouch. And I think I&#039;ve been on the wait list for Stone Yard D. for a long while - still don&#039;t have it. But I finally got a copy of The Safekeep from the library. I have a couple books going but things are moving slowly. Hope your reading comes back. Enjoy the week.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I didn&#039;t realize the new book by Brooks was about her bereavement--much as I like her writing, that sounds like it might be too much for me. I remember reading Joan Didion&#039;s Year of Magical Thinking and it wreaked me emotionally for awhile.

I loved Bridget Jones Diary (book and movie), but not so much the sequels, and I definitely don&#039;t want to read about life after Mark Darcy&#039;s passing :(

Really looking forward to The Americas--I love stuff like that!

Thanks for a great post--I love your previews of stuff.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wow, that sunset picture is gorgeous! I can never get my pictures to look as good as what&#039;s really there. You&#039;ve gotten me really excited about all the new releases to look forward to this month. And also Yellowjackets and Reacher! It&#039;s been really cold the last couple of days, I hope it warms up soon, but if not at least I&#039;ll have lots of books and movies to cuddle up with. I hope you&#039;re keeping warm too!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi, Susan! It’s been hectic the last few days so I didn’t realize there’s a new post from you. Great pic! You’re getting lucky with those sunrises/sunsets shots. They’re beautiful! I’m intrigued by Gliff and Stone Yard Devotional; the latter was the only shortlisted Booker title I couldn’t read last year. I saw White Lotus S1 and S2, but I preferred the first season. The Americas docuseries is calling my name; hopefully I’ll watch it. I’ve hit a snag with reading. Wishing you a great week!]]></description>
