Thanks Jane. I’ll keep putting out these Preview posts each month and the Happy animal pics. I can’t stand the news these days. !!
See what you think of those TV series. And I think the book A Marriage at Sea will be a doozy of a survival tale that takes the couple’s marriage to the brink apparently. I’m still on the wait list for it, so we will see. I remembered your husband was a boat builder. I wonder what he’d think of this tale?
I’m glad to hear you liked the sound of the song Tree Birds. It has an upbeat country vibe. And a harmonica!
Enjoy your 4th and take a break from the madness. Cheers.

Hi Joy, I hope you enjoy Fleishman and Washington Black. We just finished Fleishman and it sort of has a twist at the end of the series. See what you think. I’m looking forward to Washington Black premiering July 23.
And interesting to hear about your grandfather’s Shetlands. I agree some ponies are big compared to the miniature horses at my neighbor’s house.
Have a happy 4th!

I put Fleishman is in Trouble on the to-watch list along with Ballard and Washington Black.

A Marriage at Sea is on the maybe read list. My husband watches You-Tube videos of couples who said around the world, up and down the coasts, etc as well as boat-building videos, so a book on the topic would be good…I think!

Tree Birds hits all the right notes (s0 to speak) for me. Love the harmonica 🙂

Hope you have a great week and keep those animal pics coming. We all need a break from the madness.

I added Fleishman is in Trouble and Washington Black to my TBW lists. Thanks!

Yeah it has been moving too quickly …. especially the summer months. We need to slow it down and make the best of summer. Enjoy!

Hi Rachel, thanks. It’s supposed to be near 90 here today too — yikes! Hope you are able to stay cool there. The heat is on. The mini-horses & their foals are cute to watch … luckily they have some shade with the trees.
We took the dogs for a long swim yesterday and they are zonked out now, lol.
I think you’d like the Bosch series sometime … pretty gripping. But summer is too busy. Enjoy your trip to Montana and Happy 4th!

Thanks Tracy, we had a really nice Canada Day. It was a beauty.
I agree with you — the 100 Best Movie List is taking a long while to peruse through.
Good to hear about the Len Deighton novel. I’ve read only a couple alternative history fiction — but critics are saying this Daikon is really worth checking out. It does make you think — these kinds of tales — what if something in history had been different … perhaps we wouldn’t be the same as we are now.
I didn’t realize you were big (Star) Trekkie fans, though I knew you liked sci-fi books. I hope you enjoy Season 3. Many movies and TV shows with it over the years. Have a great week & Happy 4th.

Hi Deb, yeah I hadn’t seen mini-horses before moving to this street. But the foals are almost like toy dolls, interesting to behold. Interesting you saw them there too. I will try to keep going with the happy animal photos. (The news is so bad, sadly.)
You might get to A Marriage At Sea before I get to it …. it looks like a whopper of a survival tale, so beware. But it should be interesting … a real story of this couple in 1972. Their trip seemed a bit ambitious … and risky. Happy reading.
