Despite so much going on over here between work, house projects, yard work, and just daily living challenges in this pandemic era, I've been able to squeeze in time to read as well, which I'm thankful for, because the news has been abysmal these past few weeks for various reasons and I'm continually worrying about where humanity is headed, even more so than I did before.
A library haul after months...My biggest highlight in books this past week was that the library opened for holds pickup. I'd been checking their website every week to find if next week was going to be the week it opened. So when the notice finally came through last week, I was beyond thrilled. I was also very unsure what books to request from the library since I had gotten very used to reading online. Still, I had a few requested when they called me to schedule a one-hour window for pickup. I did request a ton of books after that though, so I expect a bigger bag this week.

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!
