    Loved The Time Traveler's Wife though I read it years ago. Enjoyed the series too.

      Yeah I was very behind the times with it! Despite my hearing it was really good by a lot of people.

    Oh the snow! I still need winter boots. Chinooks are welcomed.
    Loved The Time Travellers Wife. Glad you enjoyed it. I haven’t seen the newest adaptation yet. 😊💙

    I read Time Traveler's Wife as a child and really liked it. I really wanna read Silence of the Lambs sometime.

      I probably would have liked it more had I read it back then, but I did like it! I’d be real curious what you make of Silence of the Lambs!

      I finished the whole series these days and it’s definitely the best one.

    I read TTW many years ago and I remember ripping right through it. Little Brother sounds good. I read Silence of The Lambs a long long time ago but I really only remember the movie.

      I put off Little Brother for a while because his other books didn’t blow me away (and it’s YA) but it was way better than I thought!

    I had to turn my AC on yesterday for my dog because it looks like we are back to summer for the rest of this week! I don't envy your snow, but I do wish it were more fallish and brisk here. I love Doctorow so much, I need to get to Little Brother but never have.

    Great to see you back! I know it is an easy thing to say, if you are not in that situation, but I would love to get some snow this year. Autumn barely started over here finally.

      Thaaanks! I try to do one a week at least, didn’t realize it’d had been a while. Snow isn’t the worst, but followed by -20 and colder suuuucks

    I never had any desire to read silence of the lambs but it sounds great!
    So jealous you have snow! I'm in NB and we've had a very warm autumn. Going to be 18 this afternoon. I saw bumblebee yesterday... in November!!! Bring on the snow 🌨️

      It was way better than I expected! Ohh I wish it was 18… I hate winter. It’s like close to -20 in the 14 day forecast.

    We got snow today - but it will be gone by the end of the day. North Idaho snowpocalypse is late this year.

    My total enjoyment of Little Brother surprised me too. I’ve read 5 of his books and given 4 stars to all of them, but Little Brother is more like 4 1/2.
    Unlike you, I didn’t get on with the Time-Traveler’s Wife. I couldn’t get over the creepiness of the husband meeting his future wife when she was a child. And hated the ending. Woman will wait years for her man. Barf.

    • @SpringboardThought

      It was such a good book for what it was trying to do! Time Traveler’s Wife it is a bit antiquated, in that respect, but the epigraph was about that so I was prepared for the whole woman waiting for her husband the seaman lost in time aspect. They meeting at different ages is pretty weird, I found it novel though, and plausible in the whole big moments he has to return to like his mom’s death, etc. I could see why it’d bug you though. I wonder what my reaction would have been without knowing most of the story from the show first.
