Everything here is green and the trees are shedding petals already ( 😮 )! Hour of the Witch ended better than I was expecting, a bit unpredictable too. I will start The Guest Room, by Bohjalian too, since I’ve had the ARC for a few years and I want to improve my review rating. I’ll let you know how it goes if you have not read it yet.

Sounds good Carmen. I like to hear what you’re perusing and listening to. And what books are you looking at next? I’ll send the vibes to Stella …. we still have a ways to go to get her back but I think she is a bit happier. The weather here is crazy too … but the grass is finally turning green! take care.

Let’s send good vibes to Stella. Fingers crossed she’ll be fine soon, poor thing! My spring is going well. The temps have been all over the place, though. Hour of the Witch slowed a bit after the second half, but not terribly. I’ll be rating it four solid stars, if there are no out there twists in the last 10%. I’m not too much into country music. I discovered Blake Shelton back in the infancy of Google Play, when they offered me his greatest hits at a discounted price, and I have remained a fan. I like Carrie Underwood too, and I have Miranda Lambert in my wishlist to explore in the near future.

Yeah Carmen … Stella has had a challenging road lately but we are hopeful she will recover. I will keep all posted about this. & Glad to hear the report about the Bohjalian novel … I’ve read a bit about it. It seems it hasn’t lagged for you. The Weir novel indeed sounds like it has a similar formula to his first one. Not sure when I will get to it. I didn’t realize you liked country music … I like a bit of country too … perhaps I like more country rock … but I think Blake has some good songs… and will on the new one. I hope you are having a good spring there!

Hey thanks Diane …. May should get better here. I didn’t realize your granddaughter is Stella too, that’s nice! We did watch the whole series of Your Honor …. it was good and anxiety inducing! Now we are to Mare of Easttown which is also pretty crazy & good. What are you watching? We liked The Undoing too. The Woman in the Window is a movie instead of a series … so we will look for it. Much to do & see this month. Enjoy your reading.

Hi Ti, Stella gets her bandages off today after 6 long weeks! Fingers crossed. I can relate to being angry about the two ladies letting their dog poop in your neighborhood … that’s just super frustrating. I would be ticked. What’s the date of your kids’ move? Is it August? Just be methodical … and organize, you’ll be all right. Try not to fret too much. It’ll be a change.
The Weir book looks good … I’m like #118 at the Library! Much hope for the movies. Take Care. will check back over the wknd.

Thanks Rachel, I will send Stella your regards. Good to know about Bohjalian’s witch novel … I do like the Salem subject matter …. so glad you liked it. Fingers crossed about the Amazon Railroad series … the trailer looked pretty good.
Enjoy your May!

thanks JoAnn: I’m looking forward to May. And I probably need to check out Joan Silber’s novel Improvement. Glad you mentioned it.
Today is the big day for Stella when she gets her bandages off, fingers crossed big time. I’ll report next time. Hope all is well there. Enjoy your week.

Have a great May!
