And, I talked to her tonight. She made it to my sister's just fine. Was a little worried about roads. So, she's part way here! <br /><br />I should talk to you about that mystery angle, considering how many of my favorite books were NOT mysteries this year! I'm sure your book club readers might still enjoy some aspects of my blog since I don't always cover mysteries. Thank you for giving them my list, and suggesting the blog!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-80967674486195806962010-12-14T18:55:17.507-06:002010-12-14T18:55:17.507-06:00Thank you, Elizabeth!

BURY YOUR DEAD just blew me away. Truly. That Louise. Such a massive talent. <br /><br />By the way, my afternoon book group was most appreciative of receiving copies of your post about Book Club Suggestions. They were thrilled to have so many books to check out and some to look forward to. I pointed them at your blog as well, but most of them are not mystery readers. :-)<br /><br />I hope that you and your Mom have a wonderful time together and that your vacation is restful. Hugs to you and my wishes for joy in this holiday season. I know that it will be bittersweet at times, but there's always those "silver linings" - like your Mom!
