Hi Jane: thanks for your input. Indeed so much to read out there! We are missing Season 3 of the Crown since we no longer have Netflix (argh) but are onto Season 8 of Homeland. I hope an early warm spring might slow the virus all over the world?! We can only hope. take care & happy March to you.

The Night Watchman is on my TBR list after hearing an interview with the author on NPR.

And, of course, the new Hilary Mantel is a must read.

I’m eager to see Milan—I never saw the animated version, but my daughter loves it and made me promise to see the live action when it comes out.

The Booksellers sounds terrific—maybe after I finish season 3 of The Crown…

Happy reading and watching! Hooray for spring.

Hi Carmen — thanks for the good info. Yes there are a few popular books that I didn’t mention such as: A Good Neighborhood, My Dark Vanessa, Code Name Helene, and You Are Not Alone … all of which I’m still mulling over for quick reads. I likely will get to Fowler’s book though I’m on a long library wait list for it, sigh. I’m still catching up on last year movies too. I’m way behind on that especially since we’re about to start Homeland Season 8, which should consume me for awhile. Mantel’s book could be slow — beware, and thx for letting me know about Moutains Sing. Have a great week & March too!

Thanks Susie. Ketchum was fun and we’re already considering it for next winter? I’m glad we have reads in common this month (as usual). I also want to see what you think of My Dark Vanessa (is the subject matter too disturbing?) and A Good Neighborhood. I’m on lists at the library for a lot. I’m enjoying The Second Sleep on audio right now by Robert Harris …. you might like it. Happy March to you.

Hey Jinjer. I’ll send you snow in the mail, ha. I’ve chocked this post as full as I could …. much to see & do in March. But will I get to very much? I don’t know.

Hi JoAnn : You likely need time to adjust. You’ve been busy there. You might like the Lily King one. I’m reading Forty Autumns now which you touted and I’m really enjoying it. Great book! Happy March for you.

Yeah I agree Dorothy. Many new ones to read. I will let you vet the new Mantel book for me. I did read the 2nd book but don’t think I can fit in her new one this month. I think you will like it if you liked the others.

Our March reads have quite a bit of overlap including The Glass Hotel, Writers & Lovers, and Valentine. I think I’ll listen to The Glass Hotel, but read the others.

Hope March brings you an early Spring!
