i really don't know where i would be without her friendship
{especially these last few months}
`
i finished "the goldfinch" book

i won't say more
i respect the many readers who love this book
`
i bought the reading chair

{with a quilt draped over the arm of course}

Aw, hello sweet Christina! I'm so happy you are enjoying the tea towels! I chose not to read the Goldfinch just from the reviews I've read, and now with your words here I think I made the right decision…just not for me. I am currently enjoying a book by Peter Donahue called Madison House. It's a fiction but this novel set in early Seattle was based on historical events. Lovable characters, and a familiar setting is making this one a great read for me! Let us know how you liked the Orchardist…it's one I've been considering!

I loved seeing your picture on Our Collective. Sooooo much fun.

I just finished reading Daddy Long Legs....never read it. Loved it. Give me more epistolary novels and I will be a happy girl. Now I am reading Longbourn.

Like your Goldfinch review. I briefly scanned the second half of the book and then set it down. Let us know what you read next and how you like it.
Tea towels are a delight when received from a special friend.
Plums and chicken, oh yummm!
Happy Springtime!

Hi! i read the Goldfinch as well and I understand your thumbs down. I would think you might like "The Book Thief" bu Markus Zusak - lovely week for you I hope!

Margie said...

Ah ha!!! I felt the same way. Won't say any more either. Remember the comment I left you when you announced you were reading it? Really enjoying your Instagram missy. Boy, you have a sweet tooth, LOL! You drive me crazy with all those pastries and such. xo
