I really like the way you did this with the photos of the book covers. I am trying to recall if I've asked you before ... Do you ever "listen" to books, aka audio books? I enjoy it from time to time and with all the recent hot weather it has been nice to sneak off to some cool place and listen to a good book for a while. I just purchased a new one, "The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey" by Rinker Buck. It is the story of how some younger folks tried to find and go along the original Oregon Trail in 2010. I will let you know how it goes. Your photos of the sunset on Monday are excellent. I always enjoy your sky photos. I will add Eunice to my prayer list. Hope you are having a fine week, enjoying the cooler weather. Correspondence on the way! :-) Best regards to you from Seattle!John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-31867124727995214272015-08-06T04:02:14.239-07:002015-08-06T04:02:14.239-07:00I enjoyed your review on the books.

The sunset sky with rosy clouds is so beautiful. Best wishes to Fidelis and your friend's mom.

Tried one or two titles but just cant get into the "mood" . Maybe try again few years later. <br /><br />Have read "Go Set a Watchman". For me it was ok. Maybe my expectation too high. <br /><br />I like Mambo in Chinatown and Girl in Translation.<br /><br />I wonder if your local library have Kevin Kwan's books. Titles are "Crazy Rich Asian" and "China Rich Girlfriend". Those two book really had me in stitches. The way he exaggrate the lifestyle was so hilarious.<br /><br />Am totally in love with A Tiger in the Kitchen: A Memoir of Food and Familycby Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan. Do try it. <br /><br />Small Kucinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420461345191241920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-74754992233314847692015-08-04T03:59:43.472-07:002015-08-04T03:59:43.472-07:00You have quite a lot to read.
