Hi Judee: that’s wild that you had bear sightings there! And snakes. Large snakes on my porch might make me squeamish. I’ll be interested to hear if you like Parakeet. Hmm. Enjoy your week.

Guess what? A few days ago we had bear sightings in some of the neighborhoods! In addition, my friends saw 3 large snakes on her porch. Less pollution= more wildlife sightings! I’ve got Parakeet on my reading list for summer reading.

Hey thanks Shelleyrae. Yeah my tentative plan if they open the border here later this month … might be to fly to Calif. and then to self-isolate once I get there before seeing my folks. Hmm. But it’ll take awhile. We’ll see. You always have a lot of review books! Enjoy.

Thanks Athira, nice of you to say: June had more new releases than I was expecting to see. As for The Falling Woman, it was a suspenseful, enjoyable read. Not too heavy but thoughtful. And The Morning Show is available on Apple TV. It’s worth checking out if you get that. Enjoy your week.

I’ve had enough review books to keep me busy.

Wishing you a great reading week

I’m very curious about The Falling Woman – something about plane crashes and stories about survivors is very compelling. I haven’t heard of The Morning Show but want to get in on it. Let me check how I can catch the first season.

Great to hear, Susie. Thanks for letting me know about The Margot Affair … it definitely caught my eye …. so I’m glad you have liked it. I will see if the library has it? I hope Friends & Strangers will be good … I liked her last book so-so but I’m thinking this might be better.

I didn’t request an ARC, but if I hear good things about it, I might try it on audio. I’m three quarters of the way through with The Margot Affair right now and I’ve really liked it. I love the voice of the 18-year old narrator. Enjoy your week!

Hey Jane, good to hear from you. I hope Friends & Strangers will be a good read. And I think Little Fires Everywhere is on Amazon Prime and My Brilliant Friend is on HBO, but check those. I haven’t started either yet. I sympathize with trying to get your family together. It’s tough! Who knows if there will be spikes with all the re-openings etc. Still it’s good that June has arrived. We are liking early summer. I hope you have a good one too!

Friends and Strangers appeals to me—I am still waiting for my library to start offering curb-side service, and this is a good libraryish book for me.

Travel anywhere is dicey right now—my son in NYC is talking about wanting to fly out to CO for a summer visit and my daughter in CA is talking about driving out so we can all meet up, but no one wants to bring anything with them.

I didn’t know Little Fires Everywhere was coming to TV—I thought it was a really good book, and would work well as a series. Will have to look for it. Likewise with My Brilliant Friend.

Best wishes for a calm, lovely June with lots of time for reading, watching, and finding bears. Seeing a grizzly is really cool.
