In reply to Naomi. Hi Naomi: I think I missed your comment back in July but I wanted to respond. I think I know of FreeWheeling Adventures -- as I've seen their advertisements in bike magazines. I would love to go on one of their bike tours there in NS. I will check into them. thanks for the info. I'm sure your husband loved that life, fun.

Your bike tour sounds fun! My husband used to work for a bike touring company out of Hubbards NS, called FreeWheeling Adventures. I think it’s still going. They take groups of people on tours all over the world now. When my husband worked for them years ago they were just starting to scope out locations outside of Atlantic Canada. He loved it.

In reply to Ti.

Ohh I didn’t know that, interesting. I still have yet to read one of his books. I think I started his last novel but then got sidetracked. I think if he’s a jerk — it probably does make a difference — about whether people will like to read his works or continue to do so.

I have mixed feelings about Colson Whitehead. I think he’s a pretty good writer but he’s kind of a jerk. I’ve read things on Twitter but one LA Time’s Festival of Books he was really rude to so many. I am not a fan of that at all.

So many shiny new books here, but the two I’m most excited about are The Lager Queen of Minnesota and Lady in the Lake. Sounds like your trip was a huge success!

In reply to Judy Krueger. Thanks Judy. Prime summer now, love it! Hope you're juggling the earthquakes all right there. One of my brother lives in Pasadena / works in L.A. so he has told us that they've been big. Hold on tight. Poor Ridgecrest. The books this month look good but I have a lot of stacks everywhere so who knows what's next. Montana was awesome; and I guess I was surprised by how it exceeded my expectations. Beautiful country where we were. We are not too far from the border so we will go again another time.

Yes, for sure on the first three books you mentioned. I loved Kitchens of the Great Midwest and I loved Sunburn. Colson Whitehead can do no wrong in my opinion (I was going to say book, but too corny.) I also do want to check out Helen Phillips and like you will likely read her previous novel first.
Your Montana trip sounds so great. I love Montana for visiting anyway. I don’t think I could do the biking you did but I can still hike.
Wishing you lots of great reading on the deck!
