We were leaving for my son's graduation and would be gone for a week. I was worried about my little green monster. We have Allen, a college student, staying with us and he assures me he will play with Hercule, but I worry that he will be lonely. I decided to do something about it.
Meet Lt. Foyle:
How will little Foyle and Hercule get along? So far, Hercule is less than thrilled with his little friend. We'll have to wait and see.
And now for something fun, but first, if you like vocal music, here is Renee Fleming singing Five Venetian Melodies by Gabriel Faure.
I got the idea from Travellin' Penguin's blog. She spelled out the name of her blog with the titles of books from her TBR pile. Ironically, with as many books on my own pile (or mountain) I could not spell out my blog's name with the titles so I used the name of the authors. This list is from my fiction TBR pile. I may make another with my non fiction.
G is for Graham Greene. Of this collection, I've only read the Quiet American.
E is for Enrique Vila-Matas: Never Any End to Paris
N is for V.S. Naipaul: The Mimic Men
T is for Anthony Trollope: Can You Forgive Her from The Palliser Novels
L is for D.H. Lawrence. The whole collection.
Y is for W.B. Yeats: Irish Folk and Fairy Tales
M is for Thomas Mann: The Magic Mountain
A is for Louis May Alcott: Jo's Boys.
and D is for Charles Dickens: Martin Chuzzlewit
Are there any on my list you like? Dislike? Curious about? I cannot promise when I will get around to reading any of them, much less reviewing them. They are only nine books and I own 700 that I have yet to read. Whew. That was my big confession. Anyone else as bad as me? Please don't tell me that I win the longest TBR queue award.
