It is interesting to read other people's book lists. Sometimes I'll borrow them from the library and find they just don't do it for me. <br />I liked News of the World well enough but, like you, I loved A Gentleman in Moscow and count it as one of my all-time favorites. I'll have the check out some of O'Farrell's other books.<br />Do you have a blog?Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-18381922664621744912022-01-17T16:58:21.492-05:002022-01-17T16:58:21.492-05:00Thank you, Lizzy.

I do sometimes watch movies. I find myself wanting to do but just not having the energy or focus. I'm sure this will pass.<br />I hope you and Mo are staying warm and happy.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-46096120457400200392022-01-17T16:45:11.035-05:002022-01-17T16:45:11.035-05:00You're right, Katie, it's probably not too...You're right, Katie, it's probably not too late now but by the time I get to feeling like I want to do one, by then it could be the end of January (at the rate things are going). <br />I'm so glad you tested negative for Covid before Christmas, though, like you, I would still wonder (especially after this experience). And so glad you were able to get a booster before year's end.<br />I hope you find a good book that you love with your gift card. <br />Thank you for the good wishes. I hope you and yours have a healthy 2022.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-57961201475136696312022-01-17T16:37:36.161-05:002022-01-17T16:37:36.161-05:00Thank you, Julierose.

I think News of the World was one of my all time favorite books. I started Lincoln Highway and was disappointed in the story. I did not finish it. I have read two books before by Amor Towles, and his The Gentleman from Moscow is also one of my all-time favorites. I love to read lists of people’s books read. I am impressed by how much reading you have gotten done! I too loved Hamnet, but I also love other books by O’Farrell. Thanks for your lists.

January is a nice time for rest, recuperation, reading. Do you enjoy watching movies? or interesting documentaries on YouTube?<br /><br />The sad unopened giiiifts. That has happened with me too.<br /><br />I love a book list and yours is very good.

The hubby and I both developed something that acted like a sinus infection after a covid exposure before Christmas. We both tested negative twice and recovered in a few days, but I still wonder. I wanted to get boosted earlier, but trying to plan around my random work schedule (the boss would give me time off, but that's not my style) ended up finishing up 2021 with a noontime booster. The list of books is impressive! I've been given a gift card to a book store, so I might have to peruse your list. I hope you continue to feel better and regain your stamina. Here's to a healthy rest of 2022!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515254293191853580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-18710626126506597972022-01-14T13:28:46.059-05:002022-01-14T13:28:46.059-05:00Oh that is good to hear that you are recovering--a...Oh that is good to hear that you are recovering--anyone who says covid is over is crazy!!
