Not reading it yet BUT........
The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop by Fannie Flagg
I'm thinking about asking Santa for it, but if I can't wait that long then I'll get it myself! “The Wonder Boy of Whistle Stop” focuses on Buddy Jr., Ruth’s son, who lost an arm in an accident. “He winds up in a retirement home in Atlanta, and he wants to go home, so he escapes from the nursing home,” Flagg said. “The town of Whistle Stop is closed down and he can’t find it, but he reconnects with Evelyn Couch and they bring the town back.” IMHO this sounds like a perfect escape from Covid, Holiday hustle and bustle and just life in general...... |

The Night Watch by Sarah Waters.
I've only just begun to read this historical fiction novel, but it is a wonderful read. Sarah Waters' book was shortlisted for both the 2006 Man Booker Prize and the 2006 Orange Prize. The novel, which is told backward through third-person narrative, takes place in 1940s London during and after World War II. Spoiler Alert: You can find out more about this book over @ GoodReads (LINK).

Back to one of my favorites french classics by Marcel Pagnol La gloire de mon pere/ the glory of my father and Le chateau de ma mere/ the castle of my mother or my mother's castle ☺ i discovered him through the adapted movies; In fact many movies have been done following his other books. The french countryside through the eyes of a young boy, his views concerning his family and surroundings, his friendship... childhood quoi ☺

_This Year Will Be Different_ by Maeve Binchy
I discovered this little volume of short stories years ago, and after reading it through in one sitting I promised myself that I would read it every year at Christmas. I haven't always kept that promise, but I have most years. I'm so glad I remembered it this year when I was having such a hard time feeling any Christmas spirit. These short snapshots into the lives of mostly Irish women reveal situations that are just not like that happy, perfect Christmas that many of us dream of, and which they dream of too. These are lives that have everyday considerations and choices that impact their wished-for holiday experiences. The endings may not always be like a Hallmark movie, but they are satisfying. One thing I do _not_ recommend, however, is the Audible recording. The production quality is terrible. Get the book - it's definitely worth the read, curled up on your sofa with a cup of hot chocolate or a glass of wine. It will be worth reading after Christmas, too.

I will be reading this soon! I'm on a list. It's going to be a movie. Julia Robert's is playing a main character. Same author wrote, Little Fires Everywhere.
