I'm glad you are enjoying Sea of Tranquility. I did too, as well as Station Eleven. I still need to get to Glass Hotel. Happy reading this week.

Sadly (well, maybe not that sadly), we're an artificial tree family. Real trees tend to spark allergies in our house, so our Christmas tree hunt is just pulling it out of the garage. - Melinda @ A Web of StoriesMelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495163041946836018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-34681232239293346752022-12-06T06:55:09.739-05:002022-12-06T06:55:09.739-05:00I seem to go straight from the the too-early-to-th...I seem to go straight from the the too-early-to-think-about-Christmas stage to the panicky stage these days, now that I'm older and don't have any little ones to prompt me to be more mindful of how little time there actually is between Thanksgiving and Christmas!<br />I have started to think about what I want my First Book of 2023 to be,though, and hope that Sheila is putting together her annual collage of photos. I had just settled on N-W by Zadie Smith, which I purchased quite a while ago and never read, but now you've gotten me thinking about Sea of Tranquility as a possibility!
