First, how are you all, especially those of you on the east coast? I hope Tropical Storm Elsa isn’t treating you too badly. I spent eighteen years living on Florida’s Gulf Coast, so I know what it’s like to deal with tropical storms and hurricane warnings. I still have friends in that area of Florida, as well as Georgia, North Carolina and New York. You all take care of yourselves.
Back on track, although I did tell Jeff Meyerson that sometimes the diversions are the most important part of Thursday’s discussions. I’ve just started Jackie Fraser’s debut, The Bookshop of Second Chances. I never know, though, when I’ve only read a chapter if I’ll get distracted by the next book that comes into the house. This one is about a newly divorced woman who inherits her great uncle’s home in Scotland, along with his large antique book collection. She finds she loves the small village, and enjoys the locals, except for the gruff bookshop owner.
What about you? What are you reading this week?
Stay safe!
Hello, all! Leaving my comments Wednesday night so I don’t have to rush to do it before going out to my walking group tomorrow morning.
I received an ARC of Jane Cleland’s JANE AUSTEN’S LOST LETTERS. The Josie Prescott Antiques Mysteries is one of my all-time favorite traditional mystery series. It’s the intelligence with which the stories are written which make it “a cut above” for me. Prescott Antiques and Auctions in New Hampshire is a thriving business, chosen as best small antiques house for five years. With Josie at the helm, aided by her hand-selected, highly skilled staff, they’ve even been able to add a small TV studio, where Josie’s show is in its sixth season. In the middle of filming the latest episode. where two experts debate as to whether a particular antique is authentic, there is a murder. One of the experts, a former supermodel who has built a highly successful career in her current business, is found strangled. And soon a second murder occurs. Persons of interest inevitably include the victim’s assistant, the other expert and his bulldog mother, and others looking for financial gain. At the same time, Josie is visited by a mysterious stranger who hands her a box and hurries away. Inside is a note from Josie’s long-deceased father, along with what appear to be two previously uncatalogued letters from Jane Austen to family members. How can Josie locate the woman to find out more about her father and about the letters’ provenance, while keeping her business running smoothly? Although her husband works for Homeland Security, it falls to the local police to try to keep her out of danger and solve the murders. The author has written books and lectured on writing craft, and her expertise is evident in her excellent series. To be released Dec. 2021.
I also read an ARC of Catriona McPherson’s upcoming standalone, A GINGERBREAD HOUSE. Catriona excels at creating cleverly plotted, tense stories with just the right amount of creepiness. Three women are looking for something that’s missing in their lives. The oldest, Ivy, who has never had a family or friend she could count on, becomes involved in a community of cat lovers. Martine turns to genealogy to figure out where she came from and who her father was. Laura just wants what it seems everyone else has–a husband and children–and she puts her hopes in a unique dating service. Their desires eventually lead them to each other, and to a situation that seems more hopeless–and dangerous–with each passing day. Tash has been a player in her family business for years. When her father, the company’s CEO, is down with the flu, Tash decides to clean up his stacks of paperwork and happens upon something that indicates the company may have ventured into illegal–and reprehensible–territory. She makes it her mission to save the company from ruin and to bring her father to justice. Tash’s quest ultimately involves her in the plight of the other three women in intriguing and dangerous ways. And that’s when the story really picks up in speed and intensity. McPherson’s writing may initially send you to Google to interpret her Scottish vernacular, but you will soon get into the rhythm of the story. Her originally is unmatched, her choices never predictable. If you enjoy a story that is unsettling but (probably) won’t keep you from sleeping at night, this one is for you. It’s actually out in ebook right now, with hard copy coming August 3.
I’m not finished yet, but I am taking my time with IN THE HEIGHTS: FINDING HOME. It’s a big book that covers the musical in its initial Broadway show form and also in the recently released movie version. Since I have seen both, I knew it would be the perfect book for me, and I was right. It’s full of annotated lyrics, behind-the-scenes revelations, essays, photographs,and much, much more about this show. It’s not the kind of book you read in one sitting, but one to savor. Authors are listed as Lin-Manuel Miranda, Quiara Alegria Hudes, and Jeremy McCarter.
I’m currently reading two books simultaneously, because one is fiction and one non-fiction. More about those next week.
Oooohhh. Jane Austen’s Lost Letters. I love Jane Cleland’s books and that series. Now, I’ll really look forward to readint that one.
I can see why In the Heights: Finding Home is right up your alley. I never saw it, but it sounds perfect for someone who did. I can’t wait for live theater again.
It’s pretty warm here, but not too bad.
This week I read:
A Year of Shorts: Flash Fiction by Babara Venkataraman; Stories of 100 words each. The Hallowe’en stories are usually the best, but some of the others are pretty good too. I think Horror lends itself to shorter fiction better than some other genres.
Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney; A psychological thriller about a troubled couple that goes to an isolated Scottish resort…during a blizzard. Just the first of a great many bad decisions.
Aym Geronimo: Tall Tales by Jonathan Morgan Neal; Tales of a female Doc Savage. Pretty decent, but the author is a friend of mine, so take it for what it’s worth.
A Warrior Still by MC Thomas; A former marine with wounded hands and PTSD, becomes the bodyguard for a Shakira like pop star. Believable as a Fast and Furious movie.
Diary of a Rich Kid by Malcolm Mejin; Sort of a Diary of a Wimpy Kid type deal. Made me want to get out the torches and pitchforks.
Aikido Anaconda by Daniel Linden; An Aikido expert goes to Montana to find out who killed his father. The only time he uses Aikido it doesn’t work.
Oh, Glen. I really think you should be writing Flash Fiction. Your final lines are killers. I love them.
We survived tropical storm Elsa scraping right by us in Sarasota. Lots of rain and wind but no damage.
I bought the book you recommended Lesa … Razorblade Tears. I keep hearing wonderful things, but it was your five stars and rave that convinced me it would be worth a listen. We’ll see!
First, I’m glad you survived Elsa, Sandie. I was worried about you, and other friends up and down the Gulf Coast. Thankful you had no damage!
We’ll see. That’s quite a burden that you bought the book based on my recommendation. I did love it, though.
We’re getting some relief from the heat for a few days before going back into the 90s for the weekend and beyond, but it’s so nice to wake up to cool air and enjoy coffee in the garden, where everything is budded or in bloom: Roses, Daylilys, Oriental Lilies, Hydrangeas, Geraniums, Coneflower, Foxglove and the rest.
Amidst this, perhaps the hot weather is a factor, my eagerness for reading has wained, yet the library has begun making my holds available at an alarming rate. Suddenly I have a dozen books in hand or soon to be. A good problem to have, but slightly overwhelming just now.
I finished A SIEGE OF BITTERNS by Steve Burrows, the first in his series of Birder Murder mysteries featuring police inspector Domenic Jejeune who is new to the Norfolk coast marshlands area. A prominent environmentalist is found hung from a tree outside his home and there are no obvious clues to who committed the murder, though several people have motives, especially the landowner of a wind farm near the edge of the marshland. We’ll written with an interesting mix of characters, I liked it and have the second in the series on hold at the library.
THE KASSA GAMBIT by M. C. Planck is a science fiction novel I came across on my shelves whist looking for another book, and, since I had no memory of buying it, was curious, I read a couple of pages and then kept going. It was at about the one-third point that my reading ennui struck, and it has been set aside, for now, though I like it.
In hand from the library and awaiting my attention are THE KILLING HILLS by Chris Offutt and MOONFLOWER MURDERS by Anthony Horowitz, the latter being a follow-up to his MAGPIE MURDERS, which I liked very much. I’m eager to start both, especially the Horowitz, even though it’s over 350 pages.
Yet, I can’t get started, so I’m reading a short story here and there, and spending hours drinking iced tea and watching the Tour de France.
Meanwhile, Barbara finished A LONG SHADOW by Charles Todd, which she especially liked.
In William Shaw’s series featuring Inspector Alexia Cupedi, THE BIRDWATCHER is identified as book 0, followed by SALT LANE as book 1. We both have read SALT LANE and Barbara has just started THE BIRDWATCHER. I’ll read it once through the library books, which always come first.
Be well. I hope you enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.
I hate those periods when nothing holds my attention, Richard. It’s tough to get going again. I’m sorry. I don’t even have any good suggestions unless you can find some sort of Flash Fiction book – maybe not horror as Glen read. But, maybe that would jumpstart your reading. Or, for me, sometimes, it’s a nonfiction book with lots of pictures. I just finished Old Ireland in Colour. Lots of photos, along with the history. Perfect for me. But, that’s the kind of book I’m thinking of.
Let me make clear that while I felt the horror stories were the most effective in A Year of Shorts, they also had stories based on New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and Christmas, which were definitely not horror stories.
Good morning. We’re supposed to get some rain from Elsa tomorrow morning but hopefully not much wind.
This week I read ANOTHER MAN’S GROUND by Claire Booth, the second Sheriff Hank Worth book. I just got the fourth book yesterday so I’m looking forward to that.
KITTY’S MIX-TAPE by Carrie Vaughn. It’s a book of short stories featuring characters from her series about Kitty Norville, werewolf and radio DJ. I liked most of the stories but I wish that more of them had been about Kitty.
Oh, I like the Sheriff Hank Worth series, Sandy. I like the stories and the characters.
I hope that’s all you get from Elsa, the rain, not the wind. Stay safe!
Rick, “The Birdwatcher” of the title is the same character who turns up in DEADLAND.
Got back last Friday from our four day trip to Boston and environs (Cape Cod – Hyannis, Barnstaple, Dennis – and north to Salem and Newburyport). It was too hot and we had too much rain, but the trip went pretty well and it was fun seeing my cousins for the first time in two years. Hot here the last two days, and we are supposed to get the remnants of Elsa overnight tonight into tomorrow.
Obviously, I did not get much reading done while we were away – a short story or two a day. Jackie read Lara Adrian’s FALL OF NIGHT and is reading yet another Christine Feehan, this one a rare stand alone serial killer novel, MURDER AT SUNRISE LAKE, which she says she is enjoying.
I did finish Nathan Englander’s collection of stories, WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ANNE FRANK, when we got home Friday, Also finished William Shaw’s above mentioned DEADLAND. I agree with Rick that Sgt. Alexandra Cupidi is not the most likable character, but she is a pretty good detective. I didn’t like this as much as the previous one in the series. The new one is on the way – again, I had to buy it as the library didn’t.
I’ve mentioned my displeasure with finding books I really love lately, and that hasn’t changed this week. I know some people have raved about Antoine Laurain’s THE READERS’ ROOM (as well as his earlier books). I wasn’t exactly disappointed, but I wasn’t over the moon about it either. This French book about the readers’ room at a publisher, where the books are chosen to be published, is a short (200 pages) easy read, but…maybe it’s just me, but it didn’t pull me in the way books like THURSDAY MURDER CLUB and MEET ME AT THE MUSEUM did. If you’ve read Simenon, he last section will seem very familiar to you. At least it did to me.
Much the same, so far, has been my reaction to another highly praised book, Jim Shepard’s PHASE SIX, about a new pandemic, this one triggered by kids playing in western Greenland. It’s well written and interesting but… so far there is something a little distancing about it for me. I am not emotionally involved. Again, maybe it’s just me.
I’m also reading a Shepard short story collection, LIKE YOU’D UNDERSTAND, ANYWAY (great title), as well as Antonya Nelson’s collection SOME FUN. Shepard does a lot of research for some of his stories, but sometimes it shows as a glop of facts (as in “Hadrian’s Wall” here) rather than something that involves the reader. His story about high school football in Texas, “Trample the Dead, Hurdle the Weak,” was actually more involving.
Oh well, maybe something better (S.A. Cosby, I hope) will grab me next week.
Now, I’m feeling the pressure, Jeff. I hope people like Razorblade Tears.
I enjoyed hearing about your trip via your email. As I told Sandy, I hope you get just rain and not wind. And, I’ll repeat, stay safe.
Sounds as if you’re pushing yourself to read some not-so-great books, too. Good luck with the next week’s books!
And yet I both THURSDAY MURDER CLUB and MEET ME AT THE MUSEUM were DNF for me. It’s interesting, as often we like the same books, Jeff.
I really enjoyed The Bookshop of Second Chances.
This week I finished A ROGUE’S Companion by Allison Montclair. This 3rd installment of the Spsrks/Bainbridge series was a little darker than the first 2. Lord Bainbridge is back from Africa and things come to a head between Gwen and him. Not too much on the marriage bureau but the storyline moved things along nicely. I liked it a lot.
Then I finished FIRST Course by Jenn Bouchard. I nearly finished it in one day. Janie an her sister are having a bad couple of days. Lost job, lost boyfriend, imploding marriage, and losing their parents. They retreat to family home in Maine to regroup. It wasn’t as depressing as it sounds. I liked the writing, the setting and the characters. Another good book for me.
Happy Reading!
I’m glad someone had a good week of reading, Sharon! And, thank you for telling me you enjoyed The Bookshop of Second Chances. As I said, I only read one chapter so far. Instead, I finished a nonfiction book that I own. I have a whole pile of library books, but I finished that one instead.
I hope you have another good week of reading ahead!
I liked the setting of the Fraser book and the fact that the main character was a 20 something. I hope you enjoy it too, Lesa.
Sorry. The main character was Not a twenty something.
Good morning. I hope you all had a wonderful July 4th weekend. I am currently reading Under the Southern Sky by Kristy Woodson Harvey. This is an emotional read. It deals with a lot of trigger points cancer, grief, IVF, moving on after the death of a love one. The author explores it all very well. I like this author very much. She writes the Peachtree Bluff series. I highly recommend both this book and the Peachtree Bluff series.
I am also reading Plantation by Dorothea Benton Frank. It is too early to tell how I feel about this book.
Enjoy the lazy, hazy days of summer with a good book.
Exactly, Kathleen! For me, a good time of year to enjoy a good book. I really don’t want to do anything else on the weekends.
I can see why Under the Southern Sky might be a tough read for a number of people. My mother likes her as well.
Enjoy your upcoming books!
I just started the Tricia Fields first book in a new series, Young Blood. I’m still waiting for that Josie Gray book from the library but I suspect that will be the next read. I, too, lived in Florida for a time and found waiting for hurricanes to hit to be a very stressful way to spend a summer. I’m happier in Colorado.
I know. I was much happier in Arizona, Patricia, when I didn’t have to worry about tropical storms or hurricanes. Let us know what you think about Young Blood. I just read the synopsis, and it’s not for me.
My current read is Mickey Finn Vol. 1: 21st Century Noir.
I recognize the names of some of the contributors to that collection, Kevin. Another dark one.
It is. I expected dark though I did not expect how far some folks would go in that pursuit. While a good book, it got to me a bit as it triggered some of my grief stuff. Finished it late yesterday afternoon. Still have the review to do, but gotta clear the brain a bit.
Moved on yesterday evening to A GOOD KILL by John McMahon. Enjoy the series and I am a couple of chapters in this one and good stuff so far.
By the way, the publisher of the Howard Owen/Willie Black series reached out to me this morning with an eBook ARC of the new one coming in November. After I explained that I was still waiting on the local library to get the one published last February, he sent that as well in eBook. Not quite as good as getting books by mail, but pretty damn close.
Supposed to storm here Sunday so gotta make sure I am ready reading wise. 🙂
I love it when the publisher or the author sends an earlier book so you can catch up. You’re right, Kevin. Pretty good. Enjoy your weekend reading!
Good morning!
I like the sound of The Bookshop of Second Chances and will look forward to your review, Lesa!
This week I read:
Murder on Gramercy Park by Victoria Thompson – the third in the Gaslight Mystery series. Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy is called to a residence on Gramercy Park to deal with an apparent suicide. He quickly realizes it was only made to look like a suicide. Midwife Sarah Brandt is called to assist the wife of the deceased who is about to give birth. Great addition to the series.
Night Fall by Nancy Mehl – This is the first book in a new series by this author. The FBI has been called in to assist with a string of murders in the Kansas City area. The killer is leaving the bodies in train cars along with messages that appear to be verses from a book. One of the main characters in the story, a behavioral analyst with the FBI, was raised by an aunt who would read to her from The Book – the source of the verses on the train cars. This story was a bit creepy for me. Had I not read several books by this author previously, I might have abandoned it. As it was, the author handled it well, not delving too deeply into the evil.
After very hot, humid weather last weekend, we didn’t even reach 70 yesterday. It is supposed to warm up a little over the weekend, which will be just perfect.
Hope you all have a good weekend!
I’ll let you know, Gretchen.
I haven’t read any of Nancy Mehl’s books, but that one sounds interesting.
Finally, after a period of reading but not loving (and often not finishing) the books I’ve been reading I stumbled onto a couple that I did love.
The Magic of Found Objects by Maddie Dawson (ARC)
Our Woman in Moscow by Beatriz Williams
A Woman of Intelligence by Karin Tanabe (ARC)
I wasn’t familiar with Maddie Dawson or Karin Tanabe but will now go look for more of their work.
Kaye, I really liked Maddie Dawson’s Matchmaking for Beginners as well as the sequel, A Happy Catastrophe. I have her new one on my Kindle.
Oh, good, Kaye! I’m glad you found a couple books to love.
The frustrations at work are getting to me again. When are they going to stop asking us to analyze all the numbers to within an inch of their lives? We have other work they’ve also told us to do.
In reading news, I am just starting MURDER AT THE FORTUNE TELLER’S TABLE by Janet Finsilver. It’s the third in the series, and I enjoyed the first two, so I’m expecting to enjoy this one as well. The books are set in Northern California an hour and a half from where I grew up, which is part of the fun for me.
I’m sorry, Mark. You’re right. That sounds like a waste of your time.
Oh, that is fun when you’re familiar with a book’s setting. I always like that. I hope this one is as enjoyable as the earlier ones.
This week has been slow reading for me. I did finish FOUNDATION by Isaac Asimov. I don’t know why it took me so long… it isn’t very long. It is essentially five long short stories. I did like it a lot, after a rocky start.
Now I am reading two books. USS SURPRISE by Patrick O’Brian and A KILLING SPRING, a mystery set in Saskatchewan, Canada, by Gail Bowen.
It has been beautiful here and I have gotten some gardening done.
Tracy, will you continue with the Foundation trilogy?
Rick, I will be reading the next book in the Foundation Trilogy. Later in the year probably. I think my son has a copy but he hasn’t found it yet.
That’s okay, Tracy. We all have those slow weeks now and then. And, really, most of the time, what’s the hurry. I’m glad you were able to get out and enjoy the weather!
I am reading Three Girls From Bronzeville by Dawn Turner, I am really immersed in this book, I s was reading it this morning, I was sobbing over the death of one of the main characters. There is an older and a younger sister and the friend of the older sister from when they were very young to adults. They grew up in Chicago in what was a wonderful area with lovely parks, flowers and clubs and it deteriorated to having gangs, drugs, robberies and everything bad that you can imagine. Almost finished.
Also listening to Clock Dane by Anne Tyler. My son told me that I was just like a woman in Accidental Tourist! I read the book and could not figure who he meant. LOL But I am very much like the main character in this book, Willa Drake. A lot of times, I do things differently than others do. Now, I really want to listen to as many of her books as I can!
Oh, one of those tearjerkers, Carolee. Sometimes, those are the best. I’m glad you’re enjoying both of your books.
Hello everyone,
This reading ennui (as Richard so rightly describes it) must be catching, because I have not finished a single book this week! I am still trying to get through Ian Stephen’s A Book of Death and Fish – I have got to the point where I have invested so much time that it would annoy me to drop it, but I will be delighted when I get to the end. It’s a good book, but so impressionistic, and jumps about so much in time, that I get muddled. Also rather a lot about fish!
I do have a bit of an excuse, as unfortunately our son has been ill (not with covid or anything catching, the GP thinks it was a bacterial infection.) Our lovely daughter in law had to go to London for her brother’s wedding last weekend, so we went over to stay with him while she was away. It was a bit of a stressful weekend, though I think things are gradually improving now. Aviemore was not really at its best either, as it was hot but muggy and cloudy, and the town was absolutely milling with holidaymakers. In the winter most are climbers, walkers, skiers – people with a purpose. At the moment there are just so many people who would never nornally come to the Highlands, and Aviemore isn’t really the kind of place they want, so they just mill about wondering wht they came. I love the Highlands, but to be honest it was a relief to get back to the distinctly less touristy East coast! And the drive over the hills was beautiful in both directions.
One piece of good news is that Madeleine (age 23) has at last had her first vaccination. The admin seems to have struggled with the records of the numerous students returning from university – they told her she could not have the appointment she had booked for next week as it was ‘too soon after your first vaccination’ – when in fact this would have been her first, she had not had any. In the end she decided to go to the drop-in centre in Edinburgh, so now that’s done, hoorah. Both of my daughters still need to have the second dose, but at least they are in the system. I can see, though, that all these students moving around the country must create a bit of a headache for NHS Scotland.
This week David has been away in Nottinghamshire, going to a cricket match with some friends (no I don’t know why either) which should have meant I had more time for reading, but somehow it hasn’t worked out that way. On Tuesday I met up with a very good friend at the Finzean Farm Shop (Finzean, as I’m *sure* is obvious, is pronounced Fingann 🙂 ) We had a great catch up. Finzean is in the heart of posh, estate-owning, South Deeside. The shop clientele are usually in Barbour jackets and Hunter wellingtons; the women wear Alice bands and carry wicker baskets. Labradors. Land Rover Defenders. You get the picture. As well as having a good cafe, the shop sells a lot of smart groceries. None has a price on – because if you have to ask, you are clearly Not One Of Us.
We just had coffee. It was nice.
The ennui has even affected my TV watching. I finally finished Smiley’s People (good even if dated – Alec Guinness and Bernard Hepton were never less than brilliant), so yesterday evening I spent at least 15 mnutes flipping through channels – then the TV wouldn’t let me access any apps until I had agreed to its mandatory update – so i agreed, whereupon it said this was impossible as it ‘couldn’t connect’ (even though it clearly was connected) but it still wouldn’t let me access the apps (eg Prime). Back to Netflix, and by then too late to start anything long…..
Madeleine has recommended What We Do In The Shadows – she says it’s light and funny – has anyone else seen it?
Like many of you I have a stack of books from the library sitting here looking at me, and I really want to start them, along with some of my own TBR, but I need to get shot of Death and Fish!!! I really do need to get on with it.
Lesa, I am curious re The Bookshop of Second Chances – I would like to know how ‘a small village in Scotland’ is portrayed, as in some books one does start to wonder if the author has ever set foot in the country. I’m also getting a bit tired of people inheriting properties – does this ever actually happen to anyone?! But I’m prepared to be persuaded. And in fact I have just now read an interview with the author, Jackie Fraser, (https://todaysauthor.com/2020/11/30/interview-with-jackie-fraser/) and I am already revising my totally unreasonable prejudices, as she comes across as very interesting and sensible, so I take it all back and now I do want to read the book. I will see if the library has it. Because as you know, I am so short of reading matter…..
Have a good week all! I hope no-one has any more storms.
Rosemary, yes. I’ve watched (and mostly enjoyed) WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS. For those who don’t know, it is a comedy about a group of vampires living in Staten Island, of all places. It is a bit uneven but at its best it is quite amusing. But you need to be in the right mood to appreciate it.
Thanks Jeff – I’ll give it a try. I’m not usually into vampires, but I feel I should broaden my horizons!
Honestly, Rosemary? I just feel bad that you’re stuck with Death and Fish, but I can read your writing even when it’s not about books. I loved your description of the women of Finzean. And, I never would have guessed that pronunciation!
I agree with you though. I read that first chapter, and I wanted to write to my sister to say, why don’t we have any distant uncles or cousins who left us a house or a bookshop? Everyone seems to inherit a house or a bookstore!
I hope your son is better! And, it’s good to hear that both of your daughters have their first vaccines!
Sending hugs!
Forgot to say I am also listening to Richard Mabey’s Nature Cure on BBC Sounds. Mabey is a nature writer who suffered a nervous breakdown in the early 2000s, followed by a very severe and protracted bout of depression. He moved from the Chilterns, where he had been born and lived all his life, to Norfolk, and the book is about his gradual recovery, his meeting with his future partner Polly, and his exploration of the nature and local history of this area, so different from his birthplace, and with so many stories of its own.
Mabey wrote this book some time ago, and has written many others. He writes for magazines, has won awards, sat on the Nature Conservancy Council, made TV programmes. He reads the book himself, So far I am enjoying it.
I have Bookshop of Second Chances on my tbr. probably starting it this weekend. Just finished Grounds for Murder by tara lush. listening to the therapist by B. A. Paris
Sounds as if Bookshop of Second Chances is on a few of the lists. You’ll have to let us know what you think, too, Katherine.
As to The Bookshop of Second Chances, a gruff bookshop owner sound good to me.
We’ll see.
