I also love that Hearts in Trim cover, it's so of its time.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-71487985072696614992020-05-31T00:22:26.373-04:002020-05-31T00:22:26.373-04:00I have only read 2 of the Bosch series by Michael ...I have only read 2 of the Bosch series by Michael Connelly, but I have several more on my TBR piles. We have watched all the seasons of Bosch on Prime except the last, and liked them, but they are very gritty and violent. <br /><br />I do love that cover for Hearts in Trim.<br />TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-76435873252964157262020-05-30T18:09:29.263-04:002020-05-30T18:09:29.263-04:00I absolutely loved The Past by Tessa Hadley, and h...I absolutely loved The Past by Tessa Hadley, and have recommended it to many others. I think it's my favorite of the books I've read by her. I liked how the house was as much a character as the family residing in it. Very memorable as well, always a sign of a wonderful book. I also liked the one that has "Train" in the title. That novel, too, is most memorable. <br />My husband, too, is a big Michael Connelly fan. He's currently reading his debut novel, The Poet, which he says is fantastic. Newly republished, with a forward by Stephen King.

I remember reading Custom of the Country after my sister and I had been to see Age of Innocence when it came out and I began devouring Wharton's books. <br /><br />I put out a stack of classic children's books that I still had left after giving most of them to grandchildren and read The Railway Children last week, hoping my almost 8 year old granddaughter who loves chapter books will be interested in it. Next is The Summer Book, if I have that name right, the author of the Moomin books. Can't remember if I ever read it to my children but dearly loved it myself. <br /><br />Your schedule sounds loaded! Even working from home, or is that even more hectic than not working at home?

I've read a few Edith Whartons and loved them but not The Custom of the Country. I imagine it's worth a read? <br /><br />My husband's a big Michael Connelly fan but I haven't read any. We tried the TV series but neither of us were that keen. <br /><br />You're on Goodreads? I wonder if there's any way I can find you.
