Yeah Harvee, I’ve been seeing several of your reviews and the memoirs look good. I’m glad you are spotlighting these books for us to check out. Enjoy.

Hi Stargazer. Unfortunately the wildfires in the province have grown: now 92 fires, 27 out of control, Ugh! All are to the north a few hours away but we have much smoke now. I hope this isn’t all summer.
I am reading Demon Copperhead right now but I have a long way to go. I will be curious if Kingsolver wins the Women’s Prize as well. June 14th is the announcement. Enjoy your week.

Good to hear JoAnn that you liked DC and Trust so much. I’ve started DC. I must get cracking on it for my book club at the end of the month.
Sigh the wildfires are not looking good for summer … right now there’s 89 fires in the north of the province – of those 23 are out of control. Luckily we are in the south of the province and a bit under 3 hours from the Montana border. No rain in sight which is unusual for this time of year. Cross fingers.
The Covenant of Water looks good. But not sure when I’ll get to it. Cheers!

I was thrilled to see both Trust and Demon Copperhead get Pulitzers. Absolutely loved Trust, both the writing and the unique structure. DC is exactly the type of novel that should win a Pulitzer. It will be one of my favorites this year.

The Covenant of Water is one of my most anticipated reads this year… can’t wait to sink into it. And I want to give The Postcard a try, too. So many great books this year!!

Thanks Jane. I’m glad you all have gotten rain in CO. Next week looks like an early heatwave here – so we will be in need of any moisture. I just started Demon Copperhead – so far my head’s not really into it but we will see if I get hooked.
I hope you are enjoying your travels! And other reads.

I got Demon Copperfield for Xmas and have still yet to crack it. I think I will in June. My husband read my copy and said it takes focus, or which I don’t have in abundance at the moment.

Hope your May cools off and happy reading!

Thanks Lark. Glad to hear you are liking A Small Light. We plan to watch it after a couple more episodes drop. It looks good. Apparently a heat wave is headed our way for the next week … which will not be good for putting out the fires. Hmm. It is so early for this. Hope you are well.
