It was just the right amount of fun and tension.

I’m jealous you’ll be able to get library books soon. I keep hearing ours are working on it, but so far nothing definite.

I finished the Boyne book and enjoyed many aspects of it, but I don’t think it will be a book for the masses like The Fates Invisible Furies was.

Sunriver has been great. Because of some family issues, I’m actually still here. It feels very safe and I’m mostly just staying put and enjoying all those long bike/walking paths. Depoe Bay is a beautiful place to live…lucky you!

I just finished Vivek and definitely think you’d like it. I thought the audiobook version was great.

You too, Diane. I’ll be interested to hear what you think of Florence.

It is nice to know what I’m teaching this fall and that it’s online, but there are still a lot of questions as to how it will all work. Hope all is well with you.

Thanks! It’s been a strange vacation, but lots of good times in it.

I finished The Boys’ Club- what a wild ride that was. I really enjoyed it, even thought it veered close to over-the-top. She held it together.

Maybe I’ll opt for a blacklist of his I haven’t read yet.

I put The Dragons The Giant The Women on hold. Will be interested in your thoughts.

I recently finished The Golden Cage which you liked. Great read!

SF Public library will be starting sidewalk pick soon. And my branch is one the first on the list of those opening. (There are 28 branches in SF and many librarians have become contact tracers.) I can’t wait to read a “real” book!

I love John Boyne and am sorry to hear this one might be a DNF. It does sound a bit ambitious and I’m not sure I’m up for something quite so heavy.

I’m envious that you get to be in Sunriver. We had planned to visit Sisters and Bend this past spring, but COVID messed with our plans. Now, it sounds like Bend is asking all visitors to stay away. I understand that. We live in Depoe Bay and have far too many tourists, which makes us all very nervous since we’re seeing a lot of folks without masks. Stay safe and enjoy your time in Sunriver. I’m sure it’s beautiful this time of year!
