In reply to Vicki.

Thanks Vicki, our yellow Labs sort of match the fall trees right now. And yeah I’m hoping that Ticket to Paradise with Clooney & Roberts is fun. We could use some comedy about now. Five Days at Memorial is a really good series, though a bit intense. I was glad to see you liked The Swimmers – so I picked it up. You might like On Animals – there’s quite a wide variety of all sorts of animals in the essays in that book. See what you think. Have a great week.

Beautiful dog and I love all the trees!

I loved The Swimmers but agree her writing style was very diffirent.

I am a huge animal lover so I’m adding On Animals to my lst for ’23.

I want to watch Five Days At Memorial. We didn’t have any serious damage during Hurricane Katrina but the winds were rough.

My daughter and I plan on seeing Ticket to Paradise when it comes near us. Clooney & Roberts both are among my favorites.

In reply to Literary Feline.

Hi LF, thanks for stopping by, good to hear from you. Yes Celeste Ng’s new novel – I think -maybe looks even better than her first two books so I’m interested to get it. It’s a bit dystopian so we will see. And the nonfiction book of Five Days at Memorial must be very powerful (I have not read it yet) but the TV series was really compelling. Sad too.
I better get on the spooky books soon. October is flying by! Hope you have a great month.

I don’t know when I will get a chance to watch Five Days at Memorial since it’s not on one of the streaming services we get, but I have wanted to read the book since it first came out.

It sounds like there are some great books coming out this month. I haven’t read anything by Celeste Ng although I keep telling myself I will. Her new book sounds just as good as her others. I hope it will be.

I hope you are able to fit in some great spooky reads this month! Have a great week and October!

In reply to Deb Nance at Readerbuzz. Yeah the library wait lists have been pretty long too. Good luck finding those two.

In reply to JaneGS.

Hello Jane. I too knew Aspen once. I lived there after college for several years so I snagged a copy of the new Irving book too. But have no time to start it yet — so much else on the platter. I’m curious how much Aspen figures in the book — I know in the first pages he talks of the Hotel Jerome which is also where I spent some happy hours, LOL. Happy October to you!

In reply to mae. Hi Mae, You're right I should edit that sentence as that is a long time Kingsolver as since moved. Thx for the correction. I still see her in Arizona but no longer! Much coming out this month. Happy reading.

Such an abundance of new books. I am excited to read The Last Chairlift–Aspen as I knew it!–and Our Missing Hearts and Demon Copperfield. Where to begin!?!

In reply to Susan. It seems like my libraries have been slower to order books since the pandemic, so I hope I am able to find the Barbara Kingsolver and the George Saunders books.

That’s a great list — October really does promise some good reading. I wonder about that statement about Barbara Kingsolver moving to Virginia — makes it sound like it was recent, but it was in 2004 and she has written more than one book about it.

Happy reading to you!
