1. I have but then I celebrate Hanukkah….and it‘s over.
2. I finished the tagged book last month. The main character goes food shopping alot and I loved to read what she bought from the high end shops she visited… cheeses, wine, olives.

The story of an Admissions counselor at Princeton…whose life gets turned upside down. I saw the movie first so I knew the storyline and really liked reading the book.

Apparently when my brain needs a rest, this is what I go to. A 1965 biography?/study?/hagiography? of Princeton basketball star Bill Bradley. Bradley would go on to a Rhodes scholarship, an NBA career with the Knicks, a long period as a US senator and a serious president candidacy. But that all happened after McPhee‘s awe-filled exploration of a then young mr. perfect. What weird? It works. It‘s a terrific book.

Currey I have loved many a McPhee 12mo
Graywacke @Currey yeah…he‘s such a great writer. I picked this up at the library $1-a-book shelf last week…along with 3 others by him. ☺️ 12mo

Pretentious and sexist, I bailed on this book after chapter 3. I like the idea of a book based mystery that is not a cozy mystery, but I don‘t have time for a bunch of bros.

Mehso-so

I‘m not sure what I just listened to, lol. It was strange and at times hard to follow. At the end it made sense but until then it was annoying to be honest. It was a unique-ish story being that it was based at Princeton and had fictionalized real people for characters.
I wish it had been better organized and easier to follow.

Started this one. I feel like I should start it over because I feel lost and confused. I‘m well over an hour into it though. Maybe I‘ll catchup and things will click.

A light read. And I'm proud of myself for solving the murders. ☺️
