Some list! But I simply can't read Hemingway!
Sundays arrive too fast!
You've got some interesting books there. I started Under The Skin but had to return it to the library as it was due. It was getting creepy but I had no idea what was going on. lol I must get it again. I read the Hemingway book when I was sixteen, over forty years ago now. I will definitely be reading The Sea of Poppies. And I have written up my Notable Challenge list and really should get it posted. Thanks for reminding me. The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a fun read and The Zookeeper's Wife is really good. I'm sure you'll enjoy them. I'm doing Sunday Salons now and it's a lot of fun finding out what others did all week.
