My dad grew up in Wisconsin so we always followed Greenbay when I was growing up.<br /><br />I have a few pages left of <i>The True Memoirs of Little K</i> which I liked. It was much more fiction than a lot of the historical fiction I read usually is but I liked. I don't think the narrator was very reliable although she was a lot of fun!<br /><br />I completely missed my scheduled TLC review day for <i>The Grief of Others</i>...I thought it was tomorrow when it was Monday! Oops! I hope I can make it up and post it a different day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-43901743880288947942011-09-28T16:25:37.743-04:002011-09-28T16:25:37.743-04:00ERIN: Bob is very entertaining and sweet!

The Jets can be an aggravating team but I love 'em! I'm sometimes a Packers fan (my dad grew up in Wisconsin!)<br />Knitting while watching football is a great idea. I used to knit. Maybe I should take it up again!?!<br /><br /><br />I'm almost finished with <i>Sea of Poppies</i> and I'm really enjoying the last section. I understand why you couldn't sleep before you finished the last 20 or so pages!<br /><br />I haven't read the Maughm book you're reading now but I love some of his books. Enjoy The Trembling of A Leaf!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-91235554727585321922011-09-28T16:20:21.966-04:002011-09-28T16:20:21.966-04:00DIANE: I agree about Bob moving.

I am hoping he'll tire of thisd spot soon...he tends to rotate around the rooms, changine places every few weeks!<br /><br />I think you're right about a lighter read and that's a good idea!

I like the book but parts are a little tiring and there is a lot of detail about thinks, such as ships, that I'm not very interested in as well as alot of language/dialects I don't completely understand. I am almost finished with the book and I think this last section is the best and I'm enjoying it a lot now!<br />Are you interested in the sequel that was recently published?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-57472340650844430362011-09-28T13:02:40.248-04:002011-09-28T13:02:40.248-04:00Sounds like Bob wants to try his paw at blogging!!...Sounds like Bob wants to try his paw at blogging!!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-19801398437867812172011-09-26T17:11:39.448-04:002011-09-26T17:11:39.448-04:00I haven't hit a slump yet but I always do righ...I haven't hit a slump yet but I always do right before the time change. <br /><br />That Bob!

I love when that happens! <br /><br />I need to start THE TRUE MEMOIRS OF LITTLE K. I don't think that I will finish it before Tuesday, but I can at least start it! I did finish THE GRIEF OF OTHERS today, in time for a blog tour on Tuesday. It was interesting. I need to digest it for a while before I write my review. I will be curious to see what you think of it!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160951421693455864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-43593258864184347232011-09-25T19:11:10.007-04:002011-09-25T19:11:10.007-04:00Haha, I'm having fun picturing Bob.

I'm a Bengals fan, but I lived in New York state for a while and will root for the Jets as long as they're not playing my (terrible) team. There are very few things I enjoy more in the fall than watching a football game and knitting.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your reading slump! I hope it picks up soon. I can say I got within the last 75 pages or so of Sea of Poppies last night and had to stay up to finish. The momentum, which seemed so slow to build through most of the book, really started building at the end. I'm looking forward to discussing the rest of the book with everyone!<br /><br />Hmm, I'm mostly watching football today, but I did start The Trembling of A Leaf by Maugham for my book group's October meeting!

This was after I had given up trying to read the book.
