I...Col, I am definitely having good luck this year. I am reading my second book by Keigo Higashino right now, am close to finishing, and I am liking it a lot. The countries I have mixed results with are the Scandinavian countries. Sometimes the books are too dark or too too violent, but sometimes I find a series that I really like.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-36043554194007344042021-02-15T10:49:58.396-08:002021-02-15T10:49:58.396-08:00Good luck with this one.

I suppose I should try again, I do have some candidates in the tubs.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-39671440611673964632021-01-17T19:43:22.377-08:002021-01-17T19:43:22.377-08:00I always enjoy this challenge.

My husband likes Japanese mysteries and I have a few of my own.<br /><br />Regarding vaccinations, the latest I hear from our provider in the area is that they are eager to start giving the vaccinations but they are dependent on getting supplies, which is a problem here. That is the simplified version, but I am not expecting them to be available anytime soon. And when they are, I don't look forward to being line forever, so I hope they schedule appointments. Anyway, I will be glad when it can happen, but not fretting about it at the moment.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-1509398968138826542021-01-17T15:59:39.605-08:002021-01-17T15:59:39.605-08:00This sounds like it will be a really fun challenge...This sounds like it will be a really fun challenge! I will be so interested to read your comments on these books. Enjoy!

These look really interesting, and I'll be looking forward to hearing what you think of them.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
