But even without the kids, my husband and I like to give baskets to each other :) It's gotten a bit challenging since my son and I can't have sugar, but we managed.<br /><br />The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey would be a GREAT book club selection - so much to talk about re: family, memory, and aging. As our All-County Reads selection, it is being used for all the library's book club discussions this month.Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-1749231221381737022015-04-11T14:40:19.746-04:002015-04-11T14:40:19.746-04:00I haven't heard of Age of License before - who...I haven't heard of Age of License before - who's the author?Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-18433463553049681922015-04-11T14:39:48.553-04:002015-04-11T14:39:48.553-04:00Sounds like a wonderful way to spend Easter!

I do have a few more of Zafon's novels, and I can't wait to read them. Sounds like you have a lovely Easter celebration with your family. I hope your son has fun at the Bahamas. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-27446767597442893632015-04-07T17:46:50.850-04:002015-04-07T17:46:50.850-04:00You still do Easter baskets.

Sigh. <br /><br />Anyway...books. I am so glad you liked The Shadow of the Wind better second time around. I listened to the audiobook and was captivated.<br /><br />Now I want to listen to Mosquitoland after your review but I don't think my library has the audio version yet. Maybe I will request it and see if they will purchase it. I hadn't heard of the Ptolmey Grey book before but it does sound good. Do you think it would make a good book club selection?<br /><br />Happy spring.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-65636740563077002912015-04-06T22:41:38.707-04:002015-04-06T22:41:38.707-04:00I've got An Age of License sitting in front of...I've got An Age of License sitting in front of me.

I honestly can't remember if I ever read the entire book in either language though. I may have to read that one again!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339046013754121975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-69397007156834178462015-04-06T12:31:54.658-04:002015-04-06T12:31:54.658-04:00Lots of reading!
