Not that I've ever been to Wisconsin to judge, but I did see the river at Memphis and it felt right, if you know what I mean. <br /><br />Reading challenges are immensely attractive things. LOL! <br /><br />Thank you, he's coming on in leaps and bounds... well, not literally as it was knee surgery. ;-)Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-67304694221134954292017-11-02T15:01:31.653+00:002017-11-02T15:01:31.653+00:00I am looking forward to reading Way Station in 201...I am looking forward to reading Way Station in 2018. I am still conflicted about challenges, I love to join but even if I generally keep up with the reading, I don't link up reviews like I should. But I am always attracted to them. <br /><br />I hope your husband is getting better and better.

Way Station is excellent. I haven't done brilliantly with challenges this year either, one is lagging waaaay behind. I may even go challenge-free next year.

Thanks for all your fab recs. *So* useful. <br /><br />I honestly had no idea that they got snowed in in Yugoslavia in Murder on the Orient Express. I've seen it on TV, a couple of versions, but that pertinent fact had escaped me. Brilliant. <br /><br />Funnily enough I was looking for books set in Zanzibar and came across Death in Zanzibar a few days ago. Got a feeling the library doesn't have it though, might be wrong, I'll check again. M.M. Kaye's autobiography was lovely but I haven't read any of her fiction.<br /><br />Oh, Jersey's a good idea, all I'd got as far as was Johannesburg. LOL! And that's a Gerald Durrell I haven't read too. I have a book about a glacier in Norway that begins with J but it doesn't look like very interesting reading if I'm honest. :-)<br /><br />I'll look up the Xanadu one too. Really appreciate the help wqith these difficult letters, was hoping someone might have a few ideas.<br /><br />And thanks too for the good wishes for the knee op. It's Tuesday, creeping up rapidly...<br /><br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-34043755285118516572017-09-22T16:40:46.685+01:002017-09-22T16:40:46.685+01:00Absolutely none ..I found this book for X ..I have...Absolutely none ..I found this book for X ..I have never read it but am now intrigued and will put it on my Library list (How do you manage to increase my tbr pile even when you are not trying??????? )<br />https://www.amazon.com/Way-Xanadu-Caroline-Alexander/dp/0679419004<br /><br />btw hope the knee op goes as smoothly as possible (& that you are still able to fit in a little reading)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003915263556622215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-68019309925411112792017-09-22T16:30:41.682+01:002017-09-22T16:30:41.682+01:00Ha Ha I have no self control ...
