One thing ...Sounds like a delightful book, Gloria.<br /><br />One thing I like about book clubs is that they have me reading things I might not otherwise even pick up.<br /><br />My book club is going on a "field trip" to hear Laura Lippman speak, so we read one of her Tess books. I'd never read any, despite her being a fairly local author for me. Her books at set in Baltimore. I worked in Baltimore for a while, and knew some of the neighborhoods in which she set some of her scenes.<br /><br />I'm now going to work my way through all the Tess books.<br /><br />KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-69723655812349311802017-09-14T19:18:35.733-04:002017-09-14T19:18:35.733-04:00Thanks, Margaret.

I haven't gotten around to reading that yet because I have so many other books to read. <br /><br />Grace, I belong to two book clubs, and yes they do choose some interesting books to read. I seldom am in my car long enough to listen to a book, and I prefer to hold the book in my hands and go back to check on something if I'm trying to remember what happened earlier. I<br />don't have an e-reader, either. It's why my house is filled with books. :-) And I can share<br />my books with friends as long as they return them which they do. I'm sort of like a library that way. I just finished Louise Penny's latest book, and as soon as I see my sister, I'll be giving it to her to read. I always write my name at the top of the title page.<br /><br />Elaine, I didn't want to give the ending. You have to read it to find out, and I'm sure you would enjoy it even if it isn't a mystery. <br />Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-18364374862933788462017-09-14T11:48:39.399-04:002017-09-14T11:48:39.399-04:00No spoiler in your review.

I listen to them in the car, while doing housework, and at night when I can't sleep. It really increases your "reading" time.Grace Toppinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291304815273486038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-65731478943278713022017-09-14T09:48:05.374-04:002017-09-14T09:48:05.374-04:00Gloria, this books sounds wonderful!
