Without Alex making the game show what it was, where would Ken be now? <br /><br />I loved The Underground Railroad too. I thought it was really cleverly constructed. "Dazzling and brilliant" is right!

Now- he seems kinda saccharine to me. I have a thick book all about his art and style and life, haven't turned the pages once. I like the sound of Hamnet. I'm sad to say I don't know anything about Loretta Lynn- though she sounds like an amazing woman, and I've probably heard some of her songs! My kids were always kinda freaked out by Alice In Wonderland. One of them refused to see the animated movie, ever- she found it frightening! I read nearly all the Oz books when I was in grade school. Didn't realize that about the Nazis and drugs, but I'm not surprised. Mentioned it to my husband here and he said Oh yeah, Hitler's doctor would inject caffeine directly into his veins. The man never slept! No wonder he was such a psychopath. Would be glad to see your book posts more often. The short reviews really get to the heart of the matter succinctly.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-17766585807807459832021-07-09T20:14:31.846-07:002021-07-09T20:14:31.846-07:00Omg Sam!

When I went ...Omg Sam! You met Loretta Lynn! Wow. <br /><br />When I went to Nashville with my mom a few years ago, we also went to Hurricane Mills. What a huge piece of land, and so far away. How did Doo ever find it in the first place??Bybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061186489010154661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-433243400876599542021-07-09T11:10:41.529-07:002021-07-09T11:10:41.529-07:00Interesting choices, Susan. I guess I shouldn'...Interesting choices, Susan. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised that the Germans fought much of WWII while high on drugs, but I was. After all, the North Koreans, Chinese, and Vietnamese have used the same tactic to make their armies seem almost superhuman at times. I'm curious enough now to start looking for this one.<br /><br />Your take on "All the Light..." is much like mine. I did read a physical copy, and I often had to force myself to go back and pick the thing up because it seemed to take forever for the two story lines to finally coincide. I ended up disliking the book...a lot.<br /><br />The Loretta Lynn reading sounds like fun. She is a special entertainer and we want see the likes of her ever again. I had the good fortune of meeting her a couple of decades ago through a mutual friend and was very impressed with her friendliness and sense of humor.
