We booked a week at the Jersey shore. Our niece is getting married, so it was the perfect plan. Wedding Sat, then the beach for a week and all the kids and their families are coming! Congrats on the weight loss. Hope this week is splendid!

I haven't been to Williamsburg, but I do want to get there one of these days. My mom and I have been to DC a few times to do the DC 1/2 marathon (we walk it) and always end up doing some sightseeing while there...I love going to all the museums and memorials - seems like you have similar interests :)<br /><br />I have Britt-Marie Was Here, but still need to read the prior book, too. I knew those 2 were connected, but what about his 1st book, A Man Called Ove? I still haven't read that one, and am wondering if I need to fit that one in first? Is it just the last 2 that are connected?<br /><br />I really enjoyed Winter Garden - I listened to it and thought it was great on audio...I do you end up liking it!<br /><br />Have a great week!!!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361326880689146372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964015410047284973.post-83581634779925521092016-04-24T10:51:10.535-04:002016-04-24T10:51:10.535-04:00Oh, I loved Winter Garden...hope you enjoy it.

I love Emma and I think Knightley is a bit of a prig and wish that she ended up with Frank instead - I'm not sure they are going to be all that happy together... <br />As for your latest acquisitions - I'll be fascinated to see what you make of 'Everyone Brave is Forgiven'. Have a great week.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
