Sobre a minha bibliotecaI only list the keepers and classics on Library Thing - not every book I own. Many books come and go - once read, off to Half-Price, given, or loaned. My collection of children's books are, for the most part, not listed nor are anthologies such as the "Best of" series compiled each year in areas such as magazine or food writing.

Thank you so much for getting back with me

Mark and I have been discussing the possibility of another group read in November and want your input. We have narrowed it down to two books at this point. "The People of the Book" by Geraldine Brooks and "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield. So chat it up with friends or us and let us know if you are up for it and what you think. Probably the same plan as with "Pillars of the Earth" which seemed to work out perfectly for almost all of us.
Think it over and give one of us a shout.
hugs and looking forward to hearing from you,

I understand your loss and your pain.

I'm simply stopping by to see how you are today. I know the first days, weeks, months after losing a beloved pet are exceedingly difficult. You are very much in my thoughts.
Hugs to you,
Linda

Thanks for your post and comments re. Anna Quindlen. I tried to obtain a copy of the recommended book, but it must be a popular one because my local library has a list of those waiting to check out the book. I'm now on the list.
There are authors that stick with us and it is good to know that Quindlen is one of them. Years ago I met Madeline L'Engle and was in awe of both her and her writing.

I haven't actually got a lot of momentum in the direction of Edith Wharton. I had an opportunity to get a new copy at a fair price, so I did. I like and respect Age of Innocence and hope to read more by her, but I have Henry James, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy ahead of her in fiction. I have a feeling I should get into Cather, too; I believe I read My Antonia in grade school and started Death Comes for the Archbishop in the last decade or so. I am fascinated by how all these folk cluster, James, Howells, Cather, Wharton, Jewett with Twain off to the side sort of.
I have read biography before now, and dipping into this one, I think it will be about right. I could swear that I have read something else happily by Hermione Lee, but looking at her list of works, I think myself mistaken.
Have fun,
Robert

Thanks for your comments re. The Holbein painting at the Frick. About 15 years ago, I found the Frick museum (by accident) after visiting the Met. It is such a gem!
I like your descriptiveness re. the painting. I visited the Museum of Natural History a few weeks ago..took my granddaught to see the dinosaur bones. I travel to New York often (live in Bethlehem, PA) and your comments re. the Holbein painting prod me to want to re-visit the Frick.
