glacier_kitty1. Which book made you cry? Mrs. Chippy's Last Expedition..I had to hug Abby after reading it lol
2. Which book would you like to see adapted for a television series? The Running Grave (CB Strike mysteries)..The Ink Black Heart was released this year (I still need to watch this week's episode!), so hopefully the next one will be released next year. It'll give me time to read it lol
3. Among books you’ve read, which was most recently published? The Mistletoe Mystery (pub. Oct 2024)
4. If your personal January 2025 were a novel, what would be its title? Uhh.."The Fairbanks Bookstore"??
5. When reading a physical book, how do you mark your place when you set it down? A bookmark, or open upside down if I'm coming right back to it
I had to call the doctor back about the CT scan/bloodwork, because he obviously wasn't going to call. The nurse said there's fat on my liver, but it's functioning fine, and I'm anemic, so I should take an iron supplement or multivitamin..I'll have to look next time I'm at the store. Of course my new glasses aren't right either..the doctor forgot to put in the progressive (reading) part! I'm about ready for laser eye surgery, it's ridiculous how complicated and exact my prescription has to be..I'll have to ask next time I see him..
I think I mentioned last year the building at work is for sale..I think we have a potential buyer and have to be out of the building by June. Lucie said she and the board of directors have been looking at buildings, hoping to find a good one. After 16 1/2 years of working there, that'll be weird! I hope I can still walk to the new building. It's definitely going to be hard work moving, we have SO many books and other things stashed away! Hopefully the new building will have lots of space and the ceiling won't drip every time it gets warm haha
