Welcome to Lucy and Linus's spot. Post a request and I'll get to it quick as I can. I'm usually "IN."

NOTICE ~ My husband and I are traveling to San Diego and I'll be "on road" during the day. I'll have wi-fi access at our hotel each night and also at our cottage on the beach.

I'll get to you. I promise. And if it takes too long - Susan will be around!

Congratulations, Pat!

Your silent partner for this enterprise is Susan. Please PM her if you should be offline for more than 48 hours. Otherwise, she will also monitor and respond to requests if not responded to (sometimes real life can takeover), after 48 hours.

Oh, wow! You're really reading up a storm! Double congrats! I didn't look at the whole list, I guess, just at "my" pages.


message 6: by ♞ Pat (new)

♞ Pat Gent | 41 comments Well, it's sort of a thing for me. Get those short term goals done and then relax the rest of the way.

Thanks, Pat. I have East of Eden from the library, and it will be due in a few weeks. I think I will read that one as it is also on a couple of other challenges ending this month.

Ed Lehman | 417 comments Hi Pat...I landed on your property...could you give me three picks please.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

BTW...hope you have fun in my home town.


message 17: by ♞ Pat (new)

♞ Pat Gent | 41 comments Hey, Ed. We arrived at Oceanside just about an hour ago, and we've already been down to the beach and put our feet in the water. I reached down and put my hands in the surf and said, "hello, Pacific Ocean. I haven't seen you in a long time!"

We lived in Oceanside, San Diego, and Santa Ana when I was growing up. My daddy was a Marine.

Here's your book picks. I sorted your shelf high to low rating and picked the top three, so I hope at least ONE of them is good. Thanks for stopping by!

Allusions in Ulysses: An Annotated List
Notes from Underground
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

Thanks.... I think I will go with Notes from Underground.

Enjoy San Diego...even though its a little chillier than usual this time of year...most people from back east won't mind. The days are nice...really mostly chilly at night.


message 19: by ♞ Pat (new)

♞ Pat Gent | 41 comments We already ate an In and Out burger, in honor of Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson . It was good, but ... well, it was just a burger. But it was fun to step into a book if only just for a minute.


message 20: by Katie (new)

Katie Pat! I landed here and need some picks, please. :)

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Oh man...I miss In and Out. The closest we get to an In and Out burger here in PA is a Wendy's burger. Not bad, but it's not In and Out! :P


message 21: by ♞ Pat (new)

♞ Pat Gent | 41 comments Ok, Katie.

Try one of these ...

Reinventing Christmas
Wolfsong
A Kindled Winter

I'm in San Diego as well and have started turning on a space heater in addition to cuddling up under multiple blankets while reading at night! We're so sensitive to anything other than 70 and sunny :D

LOL. We went snorkeling in La Jolla yesterday. Our guide kept telling us how cold the water was going to be this time of year. We kept waiting for it to GET cold. It was 57 degrees. Felt like a heat wave to us! It was 34 at home at the time.

Having a great time. Heading to the zoo today and then, depending on time, maybe to Belmont Park. We want to try the "Escape the Room" thing there.
