This is a great post. I’m not usually a weekly geeks participant but I’ll have to go back to the original and check out others’ highlights. Thanks for the spotlight!

Insert Twilight Zone music. I *just* picked it up this afternoon. Probably around 4:30 (my time)!

So far, it’s put a lump in my throat on several occasions. Lots of weird coincidences. The daughter’s name was Amy. That’s our daughter’s name (but not the one who died). Her middle name was Elizabeth. That was Rachel’s middle name. I know there are other things, but I can’t remember right now.

So sad for that family, but how wonderful that her parents could move in and help their son-in-law with the children. I’m tempted to buy a copy and send it to Rod’s ex-wife (who is raising our granddaughter), but I think it might be too painful to read, even after almost 5 years. Have to think about that for a bit…

Care: Your Sunday sounded just lovely!

Pam: I like seeing the books on others’ shelves too

Molly: I’m still loving The Children’s Book! I have yet to read Possession – but I will eventually because it won the Booker

Melissa: I expect to really like Ellen Foster – glad you did!

Gavin: Not only last week, but this week too with the snow! Although it only stuck around for a couple of days. I hope you’ll like Lippman – and as for The Children’s Book, I am really enjoying it still!

Frances: I am especially glad to hear you liked The Lacuna – it has gotten some mixed reviews and I want to love it!

Jenners: You got that right!

Andi: What did you not like about the Byatt books you’ve read?
