Bel Canto

My current read is Bel Canto by Ann Patchett - it's been on my "to read" list for a while, but am just getting to it while on a brief trip to Charleston to visit friends. It's a wonderful book, but I'm wishing I were reading it with a long stretch of time to read without disruption. Picking it up and putting it down between sightseeing juants is a challenge!



Recently finished the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - delightful and probably would have been a better choice for a travel read.



Count me as an Ann Lamott fan....she has a way of speaking to our innermost thoughts, doesn't she? And in the somewhat spiritual vein I recommend To Bless the Space Between Us, by John O'Donohue - wonderful, poetic blessings for all of lifes occasions from a former priest who recently died much too soon. It's on my bedside table and I have been dipping into it every day.

Hi Kathy,
I took your recommendation and ordered it for my sister Kathy in Portland. She just got it the other day (it was her birthday). Since she is a devout Catholic, I thought she would like it as well.
