Hope you all had a good week, so much has gone on in a week worldwide it is amazing. What caught my eye was the terrible fires in California, the celebration of 100 years since Armistice Day and of course the USA elections.
What I read last week:
I finished my reread of The Girl in Times Square. I was amazed at how much I had forgotten and I did enjoy it all over again. A Family Recipe – a library book was very enjoyable and the Jill Mansell audio was very engaging and had me chuckling away. Julia Quinn’s book is a review book.
What I am reading now:
Sometimes I just feel like an urban fantasy from a favourite author!
Listening to…
This is for an online book club, so far I am glad I went the audio path as its working out well this way.
Up next:
I think I’ll do a reread, not quite sure what. During November I am wanting to fit in a couple of rereads. Possibly this one – set in England, steeped in the Church of England and with quite a bit of psychology and theology. However I have read the whole series and was fascinated by the characters so I would like to reread the whole series again at some point. No I don’t belong to the C of E, but the character development in these books is what I remember.

You had some good reading this past week. The fires are crazy and even we are getting smoke down here in the lower east bay. My husband had to come home early today b/c he works in the valley in the upper east bay and the air quality level was seriously bad.

For people in the US, last week felt like it was a billion years long. I’m so tired! Those fires in California are crazy. I hope they get under control soon. Have a great week!

The fires are so tragic. It’s just been heartbreaking to watch. I like the look of The Girl in Time Square and I have the Julia Quinn on my TBR. Have a great week!

Sounds like a good reading week for you – such variety! Nice that you are enjoying re-reading some old favorites. I don’t do that as often as I should.

You got in a lot of reading! I’m not much of a re-reader because I have so many new ones that I want to get to! However, there are some on my list that I’d like to read again, especially classics that I read in high school that maybe didn’t appreciate much at that age! Those ones that you’ve featured are all new to me, enjoy!

I’d read The Girl In Times Square, and I’d probably try the Jill Mansell book too, even though I didn’t care for the last book I read of hers.
