Getting away to anywhere is always a good idea! <br />Here in Vancouver I finally peeked into the garden only to discover daffodils blooming! <br />I'm not a huge fantasy fan either. It has to be exceptional to keep me engaged. I think I have The Freakling from sync too. I'll look forward to reading what you have to say.

Sometimes a change of scenery is just the thing. <br /><br />Alias Grace is an Atwood novel I've been interested in for a while, and with the Netflix series out now, I definitely want to give the book a read before watching. <br /><br />I've just finished a fun MG title myself, and am now going to move on to an old Diane Chamberlain novel I've yet to read - she has quite the backlist so there are many I have yet to read, but always enjoy her stories. <br /><br />Happy reading to you & the family.Reading with Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776146295033934487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-8038402421097733562018-03-12T14:57:34.710-04:002018-03-12T14:57:34.710-04:00Nothing trivial about those medical issues Sue.
