In reply to Connie Faulkner. I feel like I would have liked Olive Kitteridge better if a) I was older and b) I had read it versus listening to the audiobook.

In reply to Parker Dawn.

Best November book by far for me was Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. I must have been on a coming-of-age spree because I also read Bud, Not Buddy and Cold Sassy Tree—both also very good. The most interesting non-fiction of November was The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia St. Clair. She has written several articles for Elle Decorator on the origins of various colors, which inspired the book. November also appropriately included November Road, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Beautiful Country, and Station Eleven. I also read We Were Never Here and Last Girl Ghosted but thought they were both meh.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy Olive—I loved that book, but then I’m an aging schoolteacher.

Hope you like Ordinary Grace!

I’m a big McMahon fan, so I hope I enjoy CHILDREN ON THE HILL. I’ve liked some of her books more than others, of course. We’ll see which category this one falls into!

I can’t wait to see how you like Ordinary Grace. That’s all I’m going to say.

Love your Blog. It gives me lots of inspiration for my own Wanna Read pile. I actually read Ordinary Grace earlier this year and found it very good. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I finished a couple books in November!

The first was “Can’t Wait to Get to Heaven” by Fannie Flagg, second was “Still Lives” by Maria Hummel, and lastly was “The Exiles” by Christina Baker Kline. All three of them were good, but my favorite was “The Exiles”, she’s such an amazing writer and I’d highly recommend reading it!

I just started “The Dutch House” by Ann patchett.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are ready for the next holiday! Happy Reading!

I love your back list!

I read The Family & The Lincoln Highway.

Currently reading Go Tell The Bees That I Am Gone, and at 888 pages it will be my main book for the rest of this year.

I was so happy to pick up a copy from my local library yesterday. I did that enroute to an appointment for my Covid booster shot.

So, needless to say, late last night when my arm felt sore, the book was a great diversion & like visiting with an old friend.

I have a signed first edition on order, but that can go on my shelf along with the others from the series.
