A friend of mine read Wolf Hall just before Christmas - she thought it was a wonderful book, so it's going to be on my reading list sometime next year.<br /><br />I got <i>The Birth of Venus</i> by Sarah Dunant (to remind me of my recent holiday in Florence) <i>Our Choice</i> by Al Gore, <i>In Cold Blood</i> by Truman Capote and <i>Einstein, His Life and Universe</i> by Walter Isaacson.<br /><br />Wishing you a Happy New YearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-89649356053762037452009-12-29T14:28:21.364-07:002009-12-29T14:28:21.364-07:00I love jigsaw puzzles too but just like you we usu...I love jigsaw puzzles too but just like you we usually only do one a year at Christmas/New Year. Last year it was a vintage 1938 Empire Exhibition one (Glasgow). This year, no jigsaw puzzle to do. Had to make do with watching Laurel and Hardy doing one from the great boxed set which I received. Your puzzle looks great.<br /><br />KatrinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-41677270197443410282009-12-29T13:37:26.025-07:002009-12-29T13:37:26.025-07:00It seems you've been having a very pleasant bu...It seems you've been having a very pleasant busy time and it sounds like you have several good plans,too, Jane! NYC and the Morgan Library? How much I'd love to go ... but it's just a dream! Have a nice evening.

I started 'London' and then had it whipped off me by a 'friend' who 'had' to take it on holiday and then never returned it. I suspect his work has never made it onto audio book - just thik of the length! - but I must have a look and see.Table Talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132815228630780151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-71256687459698835222009-12-28T22:23:03.527-07:002009-12-28T22:23:03.527-07:00Very jealous of your Christmas books!

It will probably be full of wonderful recipes but there are none of those glorious pictures real cookbooks have.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-29822080290312493692009-12-28T18:13:47.116-07:002009-12-28T18:13:47.116-07:00When do you think you will go to NYC?
