Thanks Catherine. I’ve been playing tennis in my life way too long (since a teenager) … but I’m still standing. Ha. Yeah I need to put The Wildlands on hold at the library. You might get to it before me so I’ll be curious to hear. I would like to read The Children Act before seeing the movie (if possible) — I’m a pretty big McEwan fan so I think I will like it. I think I’ve read 4 of his novels but there are some I haven’t gotten to yet.

Between you and Susie I’m adding The Wildlands to my TBR. I hadn’t heard a thing about it but it sounds really good.

I loved The Children’s Act- very thought provoking and I adore Emma Thompson so this is on my must-see list.

Sounds good Carmen about Warlight. I will look for On Chesil Beach. I still hope to see it.

Thanks, Susan! I hope I will. 🙂 Two bloggers I follow said Warlight was very good; one of them and I have liked the same books we have coincided with in the past. I hope I agree. I believe On Chesil Beach is already out for rental.

Hi Laila, thanks for stopping by! Yeah I don’t blame you for ordering both books. It’s nice having your own copy. I liked Cormoran in the last book. I’ll be curious about the latest one – so I’ll look for your review. Cheers.

Yikes Carmen — can’t believe it’ll be 90F again this week for the East. Ouch. Interesting that you’ll be reading Warlight — look forward to hearing what you think of it. I had read his last one The Cat’s Table. I will have to see if the movie of On Chesil Beach is on rental soon. There’s too many good books this fall! Enjoy your September.

Hi Jane. Interesting to hear you’ve been to Montreal. Sort of a neat city. We definitely enjoyed it. I too am excited about Transcription …. spying and WWII should make for an interesting read. Happy fall reading to you as well.

Thanks Laurel. I hope to read The Children Act before seeing the movie. Glad to know you liked it. It seems the new Atkinson novel will be good. Looking forward to it. thx for stopping by.

I almost never pre-order books but I’ve pre-ordered both the Atkinson and the Cormoran Strike novels. I just can’t wait on library copies!

I haven’t kept up with new releases in September as I’ll be reading Warlight by Michael Ondaatje. However, Transcription sounds very good, as do The Wildlands, Washington Black, and Waiting for Eden. The movie offerings are good too. I’ll keep them in mind. I have not seen On Chesil Beach yet either, hopefully soon. 🙂
