Hope you get to read Miller's Valley soon. I think Quindlen really nailed this one. My family would have been watching the Yankees in the late 60s... they were all quite shocked when i jumped ship for the Mets during the 80s. Not quite halfway through Nobody's Fool yet, but I can already imagine what a great Sully Paul Newman would be! Will watch the movie soon.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-14087660454492192062016-06-21T21:21:46.962-04:002016-06-21T21:21:46.962-04:00Mariela - I hope you enjoy The Nest!Mariela - I hope you enjoy The Nest!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-47254419943414075492016-06-21T21:19:55.910-04:002016-06-21T21:19:55.910-04:00Kathy - I was thinking I wouldn't be able to c...Kathy - I was thinking I wouldn't be able to come up with ten favorite, but once I got going it was hard to stop.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-66790833112797742382016-06-21T18:58:29.853-04:002016-06-21T18:58:29.853-04:00I always come away from your lists with so many ne...I always come away from your lists with so many new books/authors to try.
