I am just finishing up Sisterland (which a friend recommended to me almost 10 years ago and I'm just now getting to it -- out of guilt!!).
And the other day our librarian was reading The Boy, the Mold the Fox, and the Horse. I had heard about it but didn't know anything about it and decided to give it a try. I did the audio version (even though I know it's a picture book!) and it is absolutely beautiful! Very soothing, comforting. I loved it!
Also, I plan to read Moonflower Murders in the near future -- but so many other books keep getting in the way!!!! But I can see you don't let any books get in your way -- YOU JUST MOW THEM DOWN!!! ;) hahaha!!!

I am just finishing up Sisterland (which a friend recommended to me almost 10 years ago and I'm just now getting to it -- out of guilt!!). ..."
Readers are just always on such similar brain waves that it feels like "stalking" behavior!!!
Believe me...books are always in my way!!! I've owned the book The 19th Wife and wanted to read it forever...I'll be starting it tomorrow and I'm so excited (hope I like it). But the funny thing is, I keep thinking...I could have read it anytime I wanted to but I had too many picked out ahead of it and couldn't just go off track and fit it in!!! Sometimes I'm just a little too OCD for my own good!!! Hope you like the Moonflower Murders when you read it. He also wrote the Magpie Murders, which is also very good!!! Wish we could get together when it gets to be springtime!!!

I think I will enjoy Moonflowers Murders. I have read Magpie Murders and enjoyed the mini series on PBS recently. So now I want to get to Moonflowers Murders before it comes out as a mini series!
We'll have to see about some kind of springtime get-together -- some of these nicer days are making me anxious for SPRING!!

Yeah!!!! Looking forward to it!!
