It seems that as soon as I finish a book, another...or two...come in!
Surprise book mail from Sourcebooks is The Engineer's Wife by Tracey Enerson Wood. I entered a giveaway and won it! When engineer Washington Roebling became too ill to work on the Brooklyn Bridge, his wife Emily took over his work.
- Miss Kopp Investigates by Amy Stewart, the seventh Miss Kopp book
- Letters to a Young Poet: A New translation and Commentary, Rainer Maria Rilke's classic
- Americanon: An Unexpected U.S. History in Thirteen Bestselling Books by Jess McHugh
- Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy whose Migrations I read last year
- After the Fall: Being American in the World We've Made by Ben Rhodes
- That Summer by Jennifer Weiner whose Big Summer I read last year
- Eternal, Lisa Scottoline's first historical fiction novel
I also signed up for a blog tour of A Theater for Dreamers by Polly Sansom; I was a little late and am waiting to hear back from Algonquin about it. It is a novel based on Leonard Cohen's time in Greece.
This week the library book club discussed Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney, who kindly stopped in via Zoom to talk to us. She is a lovely person. My second reading of this book left me more in love with Lillian than ever. One book club member said she didn't want to leave Lillian, and listened to the audiobook again!
I found some lovely tea cups to embroider through the DMC website. Here are two of the six, minus the gold thread embroidery still to come.
Next week we get our second Covid-19 vaccinations! Our later April calendar is filled with missed dentist, eye doctor, and other appointments we put off for a year.
But this last weekend, we got to puppysit our dear Ellie for a day! She is so sweet and gentle. Also, more sociable and less skittish than she was when our son brought her home from the rescue society.
Here is Ellie with Gus at our son's home. Gus loves to rough house with Sunny who is just as rough and playful.
My brother posted this post-winter pic from his cabin pond, which he called 'carnage at the frog pond.' Perhaps this spring we can visit the cabin again. Once the carnage has been cleared up!
