I’m with the other commenters - I really love your Reads as much as your fiber podcasts. It’s such a nice treat to now have a new episode every week!! Thank you for all the time and care you three put into these. You are all such amazing, talented women. My librarian heart could talk books AND fiber all day long - if only.❤

Good book discussion. Thanks. As a retired librarian I really “appreciated” when a patron thought my job was great because I could sit and read books all day. 😂

So when you mentioned the Netflix series I immediately watched the whole series. I cried and was amazed at the whole drama. Thank you for sharing.

I've been rewatching season 1 of Annika on PBS. Each episode references a work of classic literature, and epi. 1 was Moby Dick - thought of you! All the Light We Cannot See is an outstanding book - highly recommend.

This is great! I just discovered Harmony Reads when looking for the "regular" Fleece and Harmony podcast. I watch and listen as I quilt. My book club just reviewed The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Flanagan. We all recommend it (not a usual thing to get a group of ladies to agree on something like this! lol) Reading/knitting/quilting...some of life's best gifts! 😊

You know, I love these book episodes. Thank you for making them. Herriott’s books: NO SERIES can compare to the books. Both series are excellent, but the books are magic. They are old friends of mine; I probably have first editions, with pages falling out of the binding. There’s no book like an old book, and if I can buy a used one, I am giving a book a home. Coincidentally, I had toyed with the idea of listening to Nicholas Ralph’s recording - he narrated all the Herriot books for Audible. Also - please check out Leslie Booth’s lovely, vintage knitting pattern modeled on the modern series scarf knitted by Herriot’s mum. It’s on Ravelry and is called “All Creatures Great and Small.” This was my first foray into knitting colorwork with J&S and oh my goodness. I fell in love. It is a work of art and I love my scarf so much.

Thanks for another great 'book club' event. Betsy, I can't wait to hear what you think of The Night Stages. I just finished it and enjoyed the Irish background a lot. Have fun!

Can’t wait till you finish ‘Moby Dick’, Kim. I read it awhile back and can’t recall how it ended very clearly! Just reserved ‘The Spoon Stealer’ at my library. I’ve been wanting to reread the James Herriot books but I’m struggling with first-time reads let alone a second read! 😊

My husband who is not a reader has been reading James Herriot; we plan to listen to All Things Wise and Wonderful on a road trip tomorrow. He likes that each chapter is basically a short story. I've read All Creatures Great and Small soooo many times. The chapter where Herriot gets called out to a poverty stricken dwelling where an elderly man lives with his only companion- his also elderly dog causes me to ugly cry EVERY TIME I read it.

I so appreciate your recommendation of Annabel. It's not a book I would have ever read, but I'm so glad I did. So much to think about and to develop empathy for people who have a different life than yours. I have read very few books by Canadian authors, so I love getting new ideas.

Mastery is an excellent book! So good and recommended to student musicians as past of their practice. Worth reading for anyone looking to become more proficient in anything they are doing.

Loved your chat! I just finished "Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt, the title my book group will discuss in February. I recommend it! I admire the way you give such thoughtful comments about your books. 😊

The Yorkshire Dales are surprisingly still the same as James Herriot describes his beloved Dales. I’ve vacationed there (from Ontario) 9 times, never disappointed. ❤

I really love Harmony Reads. I'm reading Annabel now, I'm about 70% through the book. I can't help but recommend the series of books by Ken Follett starting with Pillars of the Earth.

I am enjoying the book chats. I have added some to my list. I have decided to order The Spoon Stealer and read aling with Kim. I am currently reading The Tatooist of Acshwitz. I recently finished the final book in The Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. I enjoyed the series, and the final book, Atlas, The Story of Pa Salt, was so finely crafted.

I have enjoyed both the original and the new version of All Creatures Great and Small....and my husband actually watches it with me. I do have to say the knitwear/wardrobe is captivating. I have the book set aside for a future read but now will have to look at the list of other books James Harriot wrote....I hadn't realized he was such a prolific writer. I can't believe it just dawned on me when Kim said lightening rod....eureka...I kept thinking I'd read Moby Dick and how could I not remember a whole chapter on 'white' but alas I read The Old Man and the Sea...I guess I got caught up with the whole whale subject. Thanks for the lightening bolt...lol.

Kim - I just finished listening to The Christie Affair. Continuing on your Agatha Christie theme, you might enjoy. It was a Reece’s book club pick.

Thanks for the reminder about All The Light You Cannot See. It's on my list and I should bump it up for February now that you've talked about it. I finished The Personal Librarian in January and I really enjoyed it! Again, thanks for another episode today :)

I had to laugh when you raled about Kirby. The first real fight my husband and I had was because I came home from a meeting and he was reading my book! We agreed that we would never do it again.

You ladies should read Canadian Alan Bradley”s “ Sweetness at the bottom of the pie”. It’s the first book of the Flavia de Luce series. I also am into Victoria Goddard, ( another Canadian author) Greenwing and Dart series.
