I forgot one very important book....Braided In Fire - Black GIs and Tuscan Villagers on the Gothis Line by Solace Wales. I am hoping to see this book turned into an Opera...it's a very inspiring read and an amazing story of courage and determination on the Gothic Line.
Grazie mille for that great book list! I will certainly be cherry-picking there! Please Don't Eat The Daisies is a longtime favorite as are Horse Heaven (Jane Smiley) and Harpo Speak (Harpo Marx)
Currently reading Lessons in Chemistry that was a Christmas present. Read it before you see it on Netflix or whatever streaming platform it's on. No doubt, the book is better! Sending big hugs from Fog City......
Brava! I started January with Brothers K, and Basho, both now already "old friends". The NYPL online SimplyE has been a wonderful companion when traveling.
Btw, MDI suffered a terrible storm yesterday, and another approaches this weekend, an excuse to read all day.
Brava! Reading has always been a way for me to become centered and explore the world. Libraries now have the e-books that let me roam and still have access to a few books a month. Thank you for sharing this.
Books Are Magic is always on our stop-by list too when in NYC. ❤️ I just finished Covenant of Water and have started his earlier one, Cutting For Stone. So good. And I’ll take your Italian to-read list to Libreria Pino soon. Happy New Year!
So fun to read about your reading! I love independent bookstores (and libraries too). I highly recommend Maggie Smith's memoir You Can Make This Place Beautiful.
Sheila - I LOVE your booklist and am especially excited to read about Lucinella by Lore Segal. I loved her "Other People's Houses" and have actually met her during a dinner on the UWS. Mille grazie!!!
