Response: Thank you Colleen. Things are all uphill from here, I think. :)
Response: I have a spreadsheet and I also track my reading on Goodreads. :)
Response: Sorry for the slow response! I keep my TBR on Goodreads, so I can see the date I added books to my shelf.
Response: Thank you! Happy reading to you, too!
Response: Thanks; happy reading to you!
Response: Glad the PC (and extras) arrived safely. Happy reading in 2023!
Response: Thank you! At first I thought it was a terrible week to do the swap for me, but it really turned into a blessing. Glad all the cards arrived safe!
Response: No worries, glad it arrived safe!
Response: Yup, it's a bit of a toughie! Enjoy. :)
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: So glad you like it!
Response: You're welcome, thanks for rating! An American Marriage is definitely a great read.
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: Haha! Yes, that one will have room for lots of signers!
Response: You're welcome! That IS a fun postmark!
Response: You're welcome - glad you like it!
Response: I take it nice and slow. :)
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: Glad you like it! :)
Response: Thanks! My favorite books are classics and experimental fiction, though I enjoy lots of "regular" literary fiction too! I definitely read less genre fiction than most people I know. It's wonderful that there's SO MANY books in the world -- we can all read whatever we want and never run out. :)
Response: Glad it arrived safely!
Response: Me too -- thank you!
Response: Thank you, and so glad you enjoyed the note! I love those ants too.
Response: Thanks so much!
Response: It's a super fun place -- called Sylvia Beach. If you're ever in Newport, Oregon, it's worth a stay. I did enjoy The Trial. Some dark, twisted humor, for sure. My November favorite was definitely In the City of Shy Hunters. Hope you're well!
Response: Now that I've finally read Brave New World, you might be officially last! Thanks for the rating. Oh, and if no one else said already, I'm happy to take over the TBR progress swaps. I don't really do the Unread shelf project so might drop that part, but I like the monthly check-in for my TBR list!
Response: You're welcome! Glad you like the postcard!
Response: Hard to choose! I think my favorites of these 10 was the short story collection What is Not Yours is Not Yours by Helen Oyeyemi -- These are super experimental stories, which is right up my alley.
Response: I have the same degree and never read Proust in school either. It's too long for even a semester, I'd say!
Response: I really enjoy them! But I don't usually enjoy the mystery genre -- for me it's all about the character of Maisie.
Response: Sorry, I've been neglecting to respond to ratings! For Jury of Her Peers, I totally recommend just reading about the authors (or time periods) that interest you. No need to read straight through necessarily.
Response: Sorry for the slow response, but yes, I did! It's a classic and also a mystery; very entertaining! Not to add too much to your list... but if you like it, try The Woman in White too - I thought it was even better than The Moonstone.
Response: It is! It's wonderful -- and I look forward to it all year. :)
Response: Oh no! Glad the card still made it!
Response: In this case! I tend to get more 'zen' out of tangling if I don't adhere to patterns and just move my pen.
Response: So glad you like it! The marbled paper was really pretty - and easier to make than I thought! I took a class at my local community college.
Response: Not just hard, impossible! I may institute a remove one to add one policy.
Response: Glad you liked it! Sorry (not sorry) for potentially adding to your TBR though. :)
Response: If only I could find time to read everything! Since you want to go through a little more closely, here's the link to the list on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/2164930-bucket?shelf=to-read
That way you have more information at your fingertips.
Response: Hope you have a great year of reading!
Response: Thank you - hope you enjoy your reading too this year!
Response: I think you'll make it! And if your library has a good network and interlibrary loan system, you really can get virtually anything you want to read. It's awesome!

Response: Glad you like it! It's fun to test and try something new -- and if you had fun that's what matters. And you probably got some ideas for next time too. :)
Response: Glad you enjoyed the letter! The New Yorker publishes a great short story each month too. I often find new authors there, though they definitely have their favorite authors they publish all the time. And I highly, highly recommend Alice Munro to all short story lovers!!
Response: You're welcome!
Response: You're welcome!

Response: I hadn't even noticed it hadn't been rated yet - shows how on top of things I am! :) Thanks for rating and I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! I'm not sure what happened with his father, but I think that the trapeze artist being caught at the end is a hopeful sign.

Response: Thanks! When I do this type of writing (where I'm given random words/plots to start with) I always think about it that way. It's pretty fun to start with a goofy situation and then back your way out of it, trying to figure out how anything like that could have happened.

Response: You're welcome - glad you liked it!
