I've noticed that quite a few people (local friends and blogging friends) have made alterations to their reading as well as tv and movie viewing during this past year. <br />I, too, have been drawn to nonfiction. <br />And, thank you, yes, I had a very happy Thanksgiving with friends--We went out to a lovely mountain lodge and it was relaxing and fun. <br /><br />Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-28632834174525158812017-11-25T18:24:20.944-05:002017-11-25T18:24:20.944-05:00Oh, Katrina, if you only knew how I've missed ...Oh, Katrina, if you only knew how I've missed you and your thoughts and blog! This has been the most dismal, discouraging, and (let's say it like it is) depressing year with POTUS. <br /><br />I really need to remind myself that staying in touch with my book-leaning, politically sympatico friends is so very important to me.

We had our first smattering of snow yesterday. It's only light reading that's keeping me going this awful year - what with the craziness of Brexit and your new p. <br /> too.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-16278376760276947132017-11-25T13:07:06.980-05:002017-11-25T13:07:06.980-05:00It's good to see you, Judith!

Thanks so much for your thoughts!
I have v...Tracy,<br />Thanks so much for your thoughts! <br />I have vowed to finish Mansfield Park before the end of the year. On other Austen notes, Ken and I have watched Sense and Sensibility once again (1995) and Pride and Prejudice, the multi-episode BBC production w. Colin Firth. We enjoyed both tremendously, although that P&P production I could easily watch once yearly. <br />I will go back and read your reviews of others of Austen's.<br />And so good--I'm glad I'm not alone in wanting romances in this darkest of years!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-23640139991491507442017-11-24T18:38:45.144-05:002017-11-24T18:38:45.144-05:00I hope you are back too.

I don't read romances per se, but I am reading Jane Austen books right now, which are romances (and loving the romance part) and the Patricia Wentworth book I just finished had two romances (which I enjoyed), so I don't think you need to worry about taking some time to read romances.
