My husband and I celebrated ours in August as well - 23 years. Crazy that it's been that long.<br /><br />I liked A TIME TO KILL as well, so I'll probably read the sequel when it comes out. Hope we both enjoy it!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-43954573358196731912020-09-03T10:02:48.077-05:002020-09-03T10:02:48.077-05:00Nise', it seems that a bunch of us are celebra...Nise', it seems that a bunch of us are celebrating the 40th.

Good luck planning a trip. Our neighbors are taking their 3 girls on an extended trip through the West starting this weekend - like 5 weeks or so. The kids are doing school virtually, so the Dad told me they were going to take an opportunity to get an RV and travel a bit. I wish them luck. Their girls are all elementary age. And I bet Jason might like the Memory Man too.

It was our 40th this year as well, I will turn 60 at the end of the month and our big plans for both celebrations were put on hold until next year too. That's okay, the littles will be one year older and that is probably a good thing. Just finished the latest in the Amos Deker series and enjoyed it.

My in-laws celebrated their 50th anniversary this past weekend. <br /><br />I am looking forward to cooler temperatures so we can open the windows again and let the breeze blow through the house. <br /><br />It sounds like you have been reading some great books. The Firm is my favorite Grisham novel. Turn of the Key didn't endear me to smart homes either. LOL <br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful September.

I liked the early Grisham books so perhaps I should try the new upcoming Jack book ... haven't read him in decades ... but I recall one of his about a death-row inmate ... that was intense!

Both are library groups and though some might choose to purchase the books, most want to get them at the library in some form.

Isn't it amazing how some life events get connected with what we're reading at the time. I've found that happens to me as well. You wouldn't need to read A Time To Kill. It's been so long since I read it and I vaguely remembered some of the characters, but not much. I will say that there are spoilers in Sycamore Row, but if you've seen the movie you'd know about them anyway.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-36225404754872291312020-08-25T10:01:25.531-05:002020-08-25T10:01:25.531-05:00Thanks, Melody.
