1) I cannot choose.Before the clocks moved back, I witnessed the sun rise on the way to work- starting my day that way made me feel such gratitude for our planet. Now that the sun sets so early, I have mixed feelings- I walk after work so I have to get out of the house immediately! Yet witnessing those sunsets are such a lovely way to say goodbye to the day. I cannot choose!
2) NYC books Paris

Finished 6 NONFICTION books in October. The tagged book was my favorite. I love biographies, especially when they are about fascinating people I didn‘t know anything about.

pickEllen Jovin has taken her Grammar Table around the US, answering grammar questions. Here she compiles answers along with anecdotes of the times people asked. It‘s fun but information heavy, so even though Ellen is delightful in the audio, I think print would be a better way to go.
pickI didn‘t know much about legendary editor Judith Jones, but after reading this book I‘m intrigued by her life story. Over her long career at Alfred A. Knopf, she nurtured the fledgling works of Sylvia Plath, John Updike and Anne Tyler, and became the go-to editor for cookbook authors —including Julia Child. Along the way she dealt with gender discrimination in the workplace. She was a fascinating woman.
Reading about Oct. 6, 1948 on Oct. 6, 2024. It‘s always fun when these calendar coincidences align!
So many different shades of yellow 💛📚💛

pickWhat does John Updike, Sylvia Path and Julia Child all have in common? Judith Jones! These authors and many more all worked with Judith on their books. “The Editor” is a wonderful look inside the publishing world and Judith Jones‘ amazing career in it. Highly recommend to any non-fiction readers who would like to peek behind the publishing curtain, especially those who enjoy cooking and poetry.
pickThis was a fun book filled with stories from people all over the country about grammar. The Grammar Table is such a unique idea, one that connects many people in so many different ways. This book had me laughing out loud or groaning at the personal stories people shared and listening to the audiobook—which is narrated by the author—made the stories better. 4/5🌟
