We get a lot of snow due to our proximity to Lake Ontario... one of the "Great Lakes". Last year we spent most of the winter in Florida and I am hoping we can do the same thing again. I'm pretty sure I've read a book or two by Joanna Trollope... have heard she might be related :)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-34013170598695248222015-10-19T15:50:36.447-04:002015-10-19T15:50:36.447-04:00Kathy - I think Trollope may be an acquired taste ...Kathy - I think Trollope may be an acquired taste ;-)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-9944329401712674152015-10-19T15:50:12.978-04:002015-10-19T15:50:12.978-04:00Vicki - I hope you decide to join Nonfiction Novem...Vicki - I hope you decide to join Nonfiction November.

We have been using the hashtag #6Barsets for most of out twitter conversation. If you put that in the search box, you should find our conversations.

In addition to her early novels, I remember reading Back When We Were Grownups, The Amateur Marriage, and Digging to America within the same year or so, but I haven't read her last two (now three) books. I will be sure to read A Spool of Blue Thread before too much longer.<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying The Story of the Lost Child as much as I did.
