Miss Maple is the smartest sheep around, and her thought processes have been impressive I was reading it while waiting for my daughter to finish a physical therapy session, and there was a young woman sitting next to me, reading on her tablet. She asked me what I was reading, so I showed it to her, and explained about the upcoming movie. She asked if she could take a picture of the cover, then looked it up and saw it was the first of a series. I'd forgotten that; I'll have to check if we have the next one.

I'm not a huge fan of eBooks, although I have a kindle, and it's fine. I find it hard to concentrate on eAudiobooks; people love to be able to do other things while you're listening, but I tend to lose track of the story if I'm doing something else. My daughter used to have a long commute to work and listened to audio books all the time, but I have a 7-minute commute, so that's not a lot of time for a story

definitely cannot focus on ebooks! lolll

Just finished a book called Let it Burn, by Allison Montclair (actually Alan Gordon), the 9th of a series about Iris Sparks and Gwendolyn Bainbridge. Set in post-war London, the series follows the adventures of the two women who open a marriage bureau when they realize the end of the war brought the unexpected challenge of men and women trying to navigate rebuilding not only the physical aspects of the city, but also the more prosaic ones such as finding potential partners. And then somehow, they end up solving crimes, too. Actually, the first several books were well-written and interesting, but I haven't found the last few to be up to the early ones. But now I have to start the book for our non-fiction book club in a few weeks; Christopher Finch's Jim Henson: The Works- The Art, The Magic, The Imagination. Quite a change from post-WWII London.
