Hello again! How is everyone?
This feels like the longest week ever, which is why it took me a minute to remember what happened during the past few days. I went wedding dress shopping with my sister at the beginning of this week. David had an early dismissal on Monday and a snow day on Tuesday, even though we didn't get that much snow. Then it was a pretty usual couple of days, including a lovely and lazy Saturday. What were you up to this week?

Wondering what you thought of Lost & Found? I really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteDeb
I loved it. The characters were so wonderful and I appreciated that we got such unique perspectives on life, love, and death.
DeleteLost and Found has been on a few lists this week. I hadn't heard f it before.
ReplyDeleteI found it on Netgalley. It's delightful!
DeleteI'm sort of interested in West of Sunset, but I've heard mixed reviews. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI liked it, but I don't think it's my favorite O'Nan book.
DeleteLost & Found was sweet - I even have a pair of red gumboots thanks to a window display at work :-)
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I loved Millie and her boots. :)
DeleteI read the first book in Alan Bradley's Flavia DeLuce series and liked it. I need to catch up on the series sometime.
ReplyDeleteI adore Flavia. She's a lot of fun.
DeleteThe first book in Alan Bradley's series is on my 'I will read it this year!' type list, so many good things I've heard about these mysteries. I've seen some good reviews about Lost and Found, look forward to your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm always happy when people join the Flavia fan club. I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteLost and Found sounds very good. I hadn't heard of it before. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great read!
DeleteI have yet to read the Alan Bradley series, but glad you are enjoying it. Lost and Found looks very promising to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm a long-time fan of Stewart O'Nan, especially his earlier books. This new one doesn't appeal to me because I'm not a Great Gatsby fan but I see you read one of his other books also this past week. I recommend Snow Angels, The Night Country, The Good Wife among others.
Thanks for the suggestions! I love knowing that O'Nan has such an extensive backlist to read.
DeleteI haven't seen these before, but am intrigued by Lost and Found, I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Monday Post
I hope you read it! I really enjoyed it.
DeleteI read West of Sunset a couple weeks ago and will be curious to hear what you thought. I loved Last Night at the Lobster!
ReplyDeleteI liked it but it took me a while to really get into it. What did you think??
DeletePretty much the same as you. An okay book, but definitely not my favorite O'Nan.
DeleteWe had a lovely, lazy weekend as well! Don't you love it when things work out that way?
ReplyDeleteIt's very exciting. It seems like we had packed weekends for months and now they have suddenly cleared up!
DeleteI have my first snow day of the school year today, and it's been wonderful so far! An unexpected day at home is always a nice surprise. I may need to jump on the Alan Bradley bandwagon. Everyone seems to enjoy his books a lot.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your day off. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Girl in a Mirror looks like it will be interesting. I think I'll add it to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! So many readers seem to enjoy her books, so I hope we both join the fan club. :)
DeleteSometimes the weeks that just seem to pass are some of the best... I think anyway!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a fair bit about Liza Palmer and her work but I haven't actually got round to reading any of it. Enjoy all your upcoming reads!
:-)

I've heard great things about Liza Palmer as well and then her newest book showed up in my mailbox! I think it was a sign that I should read her work already! :)
