Also, I picked Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant a few weeks ago from the library but I haven't read it yet. Now that I see it on your list, that's just the push I need to read it! Maybe I'll start it tonight.Athirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366654538383603004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-40747089333049149272017-01-14T10:09:30.510-06:002017-01-14T10:09:30.510-06:00Yes, indeed, another great year.

Plus, listening to books as I drive places. And do things. Kate Morton - probably an acquired taste. Wouldn't be for everyone. I did have one of her books that I started and then set aside - can't remember which - Secret Keeper maybe. I'll likely pick it up again at some point. Hope you are feeling better.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-33443557025661998002017-01-13T16:22:07.980-06:002017-01-13T16:22:07.980-06:00Well, I noticed that you read well over twice as m...Well, I noticed that you read well over twice as many books as I did! :) <br /><br />I need to give Kate Morton another chance.
