Popping in to say I didn’t end up reading “The Essex Serpent,” what with the wedding and trip to Italy. 
Both were huge successes! Now it’s back to reality.
Currently reading “4 3 2 1” by Paul Auster. This was the October selection for my RL Book Club, although I missed the meeting. I’m really enjoying it; interesting premise, although it’s somewhat confusing to keep the 4 plot lines straight.
Hope to join you all for the December selection.
