    So glad you gave the Strout and Paolo books 5 stars. I've just started the Strout and love the writing already. I will put the Paolo book on my radar too. thanks

    A great month indeed! I picked up the Giordano book from the library and can't wait to read it.

    I loved My Name is Lucy Barton, too, and look forward to reading Like Family when the TBR Dare is over.

    I still have to write my review for Under the Influence. Do you follow Maynard on Facebook at all? She spoke of her own concerns over wine and now I am seeing how the character of Helen came to be.

    Yay, you! What a great month with lots of winners! I wish I had enjoyed Like Family as much as you... Glad to know you enjoyed When Breath Becomes Air. I'm reading it today, as I'm home on a Snow Day! I may never leave my couch. ;)
