Yet another week has gone by with no end in sight for the pandemic. Being able to distinguish weeks became a challenge months ago, so no surprises there. But the weather is getting colder and winter is coming (hopefully not Martin's winter - we had enough of that this year already). I used to love winter, I used to look forward to it. But for the past few years, it has tended to be a very gloomy season. I'm usually just looking forward to it ending. So, this year, it's going to be harder to get through the season, especially since we are all still mostly at home. Mind you, I don't mind the restrictions as they do have a useful purpose, but wish more people followed them well and that we had done a better job when the weather was warmer to keep the virus at bay so that it didn't have to last this long. But that argument probably won't stick anyways, as many countries are now facing second waves. At the end of the day, we really need a vaccine but I hope that isn…

Books on my nightstand
A House at the Edge of Tears by Vénus Khoury-Ghata: This is one of the books I am reading for the Spotlight Series this month. It's very short, but the writing isn't as simple. Still I would like to give it a try one night and see how far I last.
A Partisan's Daughter
by Louis de Bernières: If and when I do hit the gym this week, I'll be listening to this book. With a hectic week ahead of me, I'm not sure how often that will be. What do you think of this cover? For some reason, it makes me feel as if I'm looking at a movie poster.

Nice to see that 'Partisan's Daughter' is on your list. I read that earlier this year. Not like his other books but still, I'm a firm De Bernieres fan. Hope you enjoy the Ghata too. I read 'The Calligrapher's Night' by Yasmine Ghata, Venus-Ghoury Ghata's granddaughter. It was ok, but it would be interesting to know what you thought of it. You might want to check out my reviews of them after you finish.
Happy reading!
