Fellowship Point was a very good story (again I liked the older women like in We Spread. Fellowship Point took me quite a while to get through as I didn't want to rush through it. I started The Last Chairlift a few days ago on audio and the narration and story has me very invested in the story thus far so I highly recommend it. Here's to a great month for both os us.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-77991744020810914122022-10-05T12:00:12.392-04:002022-10-05T12:00:12.392-04:00You did much better this past month than I did! I ...You did much better this past month than I did! I only finished one book! I've only read (on audio) one book by Eskens, so I'll probably catch up on the rest one I finish with my Deborah Crombie marathon. I've downloaded Reid's book and can't wait to start listening. Like you, I enjoy books about aging women. I have Kingsolver's book (ARC) on my nightstand, ready to go. It's huge!Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-27047869006468939412022-10-04T18:36:54.820-04:002022-10-04T18:36:54.820-04:00Hi Diane,
I thought, I thought, for sure I comment...Hi Diane,<br />I thought, I thought, for sure I commented on this post, but I guess not! Funny how the mind works! I hope this one works out. As I think of it now, I, too, am looking forward to We Spread. I'll be intrigued to learn what you thought of Fellowship Point. I really liked it very much--I think it spoke to me on many levels, especially the aging aspect and all the things one needs to think about as the later decades speed by. I have also put The Last Chairlift on hold from the library, but what I'm expecting, (since I can't expect myself to read a 900+ page novel in 2 weeks), is to get a good sense of it so I know if I should purchase it. The plot sounds very interesting. <br />I am sorry your September might be classifed possibly as a "mucktember," but I'm glad October is looking good for you. October is an energizing month for me, too. (But I will confess to you, Diane, that I am a sorry customer if life throws wrenches into my beloved Septembers, so I sympathize.)<br />Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-18695350770739213522022-10-02T12:35:18.332-04:002022-10-02T12:35:18.332-04:00I'm surprised that you haven't tried Esken...I'm surprised that you haven't tried Eskens as I know you enjoy good thrillers/mysteries.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-46739969848491553512022-10-02T12:34:00.581-04:002022-10-02T12:34:00.581-04:00Thanks Cath - yes so far OctoberThanks Cath - yes so far October(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-78391542774439024152022-10-02T12:33:23.784-04:002022-10-02T12:33:23.784-04:00Yes, Katherine, let us hope October is a better mo...Yes, Katherine, let us hope October is a better month.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-30151661022583266652022-10-02T12:32:39.425-04:002022-10-02T12:32:39.425-04:00Helen, Allen Eskens is such a great author.
