LauraT’s comments from the All About Books group.

Really looking forward starting it!!!
In a week time!

I've finished it this long tripp I made to Milan, to see my daughter.
A really good book, complex. I still would like to know how is it accurate in the description oa India of a century ago; I'm waiting for Dhanaraj to enlighten me.
Who has managed to read it?
What have yout tought about it?

Not really - the working problems I mean. But, as usual in life, you sort of get used to them, and learn to cope...

For the book, I totally agree with Nidhi!

Voted!

Good! A nice homely week end for me... hopefully I'll have time to read to my content!

Not really thought about it: this cpming year I've decided, for myself clearly, to take it easy with my readings: less in number, more in thought...
Could we do something with colours? As many colours as you can: in the title, in the cover, ...

I've read a book I deem fundamental in a period like this: Colum McCann Apeirogon . Probably the best of the year - if something else doesn't turn up this month or so!
Here's my review, if you're interested
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm at the moment listening to the seventh book of the Poldak saga The Angry Tide - liking the whole series quite! - and reading Alice Walker The Third Life of Grange Copeland. This one has to catch me still!

Here is raining cats and sogs, and has started to be chilly indeed!

I'd like to start reading this Sereis by Stephen King; the first title that I've been told to read is: Mr. Mercedes

Updated my message 14 with my totale of pag 1820

Same, I always read it around Christmas Eve."

Always and forever!!!

Finished a couple of days ago Lessons by Ian McEwan and liked it quite.
