Had a great “staycation” binge watching on a few series I had to finish: Billions, Better Call Saul and Ozark. This pause from blogging could be yearly happening in August! I read anything…made just a few notes for 4 weeks and still guilt free!
Battery is recharged…read to read again and visit other blogs!
I really liked Everything Flows, although I don’t remember much of it now. He’s a fantastic writer, everything I’ve read by him has been great.
Good to hear from you…it’s been a long time since I visited your blog! I read a few NF this summer about the current political climate in USA…some good…some not so good. Grossman’s “Life and Fate” better than “Everything Flows”. Thanks for your comment.
I have a couple of Grossman’s books on my TBR but I’ve read so many chunksters this year, I think that novellas will be the go for a while!!
I’m searching for some novellas for #NovNov as we speak! – novellas in November!
I just posted a review of 2 new release novellas on my blog 😊
