Hot chocolate or tea by the fire place in the winter. Snapple raspberry iced tea or iced cold water with lemon or cucumber on the porch in the summer and fall.

Hi... I am so glad to hear that somebody else didn't like Gone Girl! I didn't like a single character in that book. I don't understand how this book got the reviews and hype that it did. Your description of 14 sounds interesting. I will look for that book. I just finished, THE DINNER by Herman Koch. I don't know how to describe whether I liked this book or not but I can't stop thinking about it.

Someone was asking about a children's book from the child's point of view. The name of the book is Can You..."Maureen, Hello! Thanks for clearing up the mystery, I am sitting here writing this reply and laughing at my inability to realize that you were talking about a book title! I am usually not that dense...I promise. I think I would enjoy reading that book. Thanks...Best, Judy

Hello! I have just recently read two books. THE MAYTREES by Annie Dillard. YUCK! THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATOE PEEL PIE SOCIETY, I loved this little book and have bought five copies for friends for Christmas. I am on to Edgar Sawtelle, next.

Thanks, I haven't read, BLOOD MERIDIAN, but will do so soon!! Judy

I feel the same way about this book. It was chosen by my book group and I had no interest in reading it even though I am a huge fan of McCarthy's. I read this in one sitting a year ago and I still think about it every week. The conversations between the father and his small son were heartbreaking and so sweet at the same time.
