Thanks for the lovely comments. Life is slowly getting back to normal here. Amanda will need a further op and is on a slow road to recovery. We had booked a trip away, which we still did, but had to take it easy and came home early. It was just lovely to spend some time together after all that happened. We were in Northumberland, a place we both love, and, of course, we made a small visit to Barter Books, where I picked up a few books that I will add here at a later date. I hadn’t read much the few days after Amanda had her Heart attack, as my mind was a whirl of emotions and just wasn’t in the mood to read. I have since read a few books, including the recent book about Erik Satie and Hisham Matar’s book. A month in Sienna, which had been on my TBR a while. I am currently on a Latin American kick with The Shipyard by Juan Carlos Onetti and A Question of Belonging by Hebe Uhart, one of the most unique voices in Latin American writing. This is a collection of memories from the writer’s life. Anyway, this is just a quick check to thank everyone. I’m intending to return to reviews by the end of next week. I return to work this week, so I will be posting reviews at the end of the week. Hope everyoneios well and has been reading loads recently.
