Me, too! I'm excited for all of these, so it definitely should be fun reading. We'll see.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Deanna!

Right? I'm so interested to see how the sisters' lives compare and contrast being raised in such different circumstances. The book just sounds fascinating on so many levels.

Thanks for popping in, Peat!

I know! I definitely won't get to ALL the books I want to read before the end of the year, but I'm going to try to hit my goal which means 46 more books by December 31. We'll see how it goes.

Nellie Bly really was a fascinating woman. I can't wait to learn more about her.

I loved THE MAID and STILL LIFE (if you're referring to the Louise Penny book). I also want to read THE THIEF OF BLACKFRIAR'S LANE and THE PRISONER'S WIFE at some point. I hope you get to all your books before the end of the year!

I'm getting closer and closer to having HESTER in my hot little hands! I'm still 3rd on the list, but the line has actually been moving pretty fast so we'll see how long it takes me to get it. PROJECT HAIL MARY I actually have on my Kindle. I just haven't gotten to it yet. I'm planning to read it in the next couple weeks so I'll have it finished in time for book club. I hope we both enjoy it!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Leah!

Me too! We'll see how it goes. My 200 book goal may have been too ambitious for this year. LOL.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Carla!

I guess you'll have to go on another road trip so you can finish it!

Thanks for stopping in, Kel!

GR really comes in handy for TTT, although I'm beginning to think I need to keep more themed lists instead of just TBRs.

Thanks for popping by, Emily!

I will! Do you do a lot of reading challenges, too? I'm not sure which I'll do next year, but I'll post about it when I decide.

Thanks! My blog got a makeover about a year ago and I love it.

I'm curious about that, too, with SOMEWHERE SISTERS. I've wondered before how similar/different my adopted daughter would be had she been raised by her birthparents or different adoptive parents. It's an interesting thought (although I'm incredibly grateful I get the privilege of raising her).

Oh, and I commented on your blog with no problem. It hasn't been all the WP blogs, just some of them. So weird.

Thanks for popping in, MBM!

Yay! Thanks for coming by. That's very interesting about your daughter too. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology, so i love to ponder on people's behavior and overall personality development. :D

Luna @ Mysteries by Moonlight

I agree! I just need to get them read already.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Louise!

Snape and Ebeneezer Scrooge are the only two who popped right into my mind for this topic. They weren't enough for a list, so I twisted the topic.

That's what I've heard from others about PROJECT HAIL MARY as well. I'll try to be patient :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cath!

I adore A CHRISTMAS CAROL! Since it's a novella, it's easy to re-read every year. I also enjoy watching film adaptations of it. My favorite might actually be the Muppets version :) Which is yours?

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Meezan!

I have heard that PROJECT HAIL MARY is more exciting than THE MARTIAN. Like you, I find all the science-y stuff tedious. Just get on with the story already! I might have to do some skimming, too, so don't feel bad :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Terrie!

I'm so sorry! It's kind of hidden as it is and I changed the "comments" to "readers said" just for fun. Maybe I should change it back so it's clearer where to comment. Thanks for the feedback.

I've encountered several different errors at different times with WP blogs. Not all of them, just some. It's very strange.

I'm glad you enjoyed PROJECT HAIL MARY. Most people seem to, although I've heard several people say it takes some patience to stick with it. We'll see how it goes for me.

Thanks for your well wishes. I received some harsh words from one of my kids, which has left me feeling heartbroken and raw. I'm feeling a little better now, but I tell you (even though you're a mom so you already know), parenting can be rough sometimes!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

Thank you! I'm feeling a little bit better, just worn down from parenting, remodeling, and life. Escaping into books definitely helps :)

Thanks for popping in, Taylor!

I'm not much of a re-reader, but I make an exception for A CHRISTMAS CAROL. It's one of my favorite all-time books and it's short, so it's an easy one to re-read. I listened to it on audio last year. Maybe I'll do that again this year. We'll see.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marianne!

Me, either. I re-read from time to time but usually fewer than five books a year. There are SO many new ones out there.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is such a good, classic story. I love it. No matter how many times I read it, it never gets old!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kami!

Since I've been a huge slacker with reviews, TTT is about the only thing I've been posting on my blog for months now, so I REALLY hate to miss it. I also just enjoy talking books with everyone. It's a good time!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Wendy!

My plan is to finish PROJECT HAIL MARY before book club. It's in just a couple of weeks, though, so I better get moving! I hope we both enjoy it when we read it.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Nicole!
