Happy New Year coming in a few days! Wishing everyone the best in 2019 and hoping it will be full of good surprises in books and reading and gardening, and, and......
I haven't been reading much over the holidays, what with decorating, visiting, sending cards and packages, and so on. I hope it was an equally festive time for you.
The library is my greatest source of books these days, though I still welcome the galleys from publishers who wish for reviews. My TBR pile is waiting.
I bought Michele Obama's book,
Becoming, and am reading it slowly but enjoying reading about her growing up in the city I lived in for so many years, south side Chicago.
I started the ebook of Murakami's
Killing Commendatore, which I am enjoying even though it has magical elements. I don't always like these in books, but Murakami makes it work,
Then there is Harry Potter in French from the library, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, to improve my reading in that language.
I finished
The Museum of Modern Love, based on fictional characters surrounding a real life art event at MoMa, when for 75 days
Marina Abramovic's The Artist is Present was presented. It confused me a bit as it was both surreal and true to life.
I am also in the middle of
American By Day, a book whose title and author caught my attention. The novel is about a Norwegian woman who sets out to find her long lost brother in the U.S.A. and who confronts differences in culture and habits when she arrives here.
I have more than enough reading for the rest of the year and beyond. How about you?
