Oh no. Your poor mother. How awful and unexpected. I hope you all can keep going.
Of these books, I like the looks of Greenwood …. and glad you’ll be reviewing it for us. He’s a Canadian author right?

Sunriver truly is gorgeous. I’ve been here many times before, but not for such a long stretch. It’s been great to be with Lori and Brian for the last few weeks, even if it was longer than originally planned.

Glad to hear you liked Vivek as much as I did. I’m at about the 50% mark in When These Mountains Burn and I like it, but so far it’s not quite the heart-wrenching story that the Line That Held Us was.

Thanks, Angela. Everyone is going through a lot this year. It’s the year that just keeps on giving!

Thanks so much, Les. Stress just seems to be the “it” feeling for 2020! I’m heading home on Friday and after being gone for a full month, I’m ready to be home.

I ended up really loving The Death of Vivek Oji. Thanks for the good wishes.

I bet it felt good to see family though! And isn’t Sunriver gorgeous? I think Lori was very smart to move there!

I’m just about done with Vivek Oji and am right there with you – so very good. And I can’t wait to read David Joy’s new book! I loved his most recent one as well!
Take care!

I’m especially interested in John Boyne’s latest. I loved The Hearts Invisible Furies and A Ladder to the Sky. I need to start following you in Instagram!

Your time in Sun River sounds delightful and I’m sorry life turned upside down with the sad death of your mom’s partner. I can only imagine how stressful things have become, as you try to help her navigate the challenges ahead. Stressful days ahead, so take care of yourself, too.

Glad you had fun with your grandkids, but so sorry for your mom and her situation. That will be tough on her … and will certainly impact you as well. Good luck.

I’ve heard Annie Jones praise The Death of Vivek Oji and look forward to hearing your take!
