Did you read this?

PatH
I love Little House. No, I did not read By The Shores Of Silver Lake.
Where can I find it online? What is your favorite Ingalls story?

No I haven't Bluebird. It sounds interesting; I'll have to see if the library has it. I've got Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews in my library wish list and Len Deighton's City of Gold on my TBR pile here. Haven't gotten around to reading any Graham Greene or John Le Carre either.


I'll be back later. Right now I am drawing a blank on what I want to offer up.

My library has it and also has her previous book, The Spy Wore Red; My Adventures as an Undercover Agent in World War II.  Sounds interesting.

I want to read John le Carre's A Most Wanted Man after recently seeing the movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Also want to read Graham Greene's Ministry of Fear (2005).

Okay!  (And I still have not gotten to the author's (Peter Matthiessen's) In Paradise)

New puzzle.  Nonfiction.  Adventure goes bad in the 1800s.

Bluebird, I don't have a favorite Ingalls story, I like them all.  I own them all in paperback, so haven't ever looked for them on line, but I bet they are there.  Your internet searching skills are better than mine anyway; I'm sure you can find them.

I don't know the book, though.  I just got it from the words.  What ill-fated adventure does it describe?

I was going to guess it was about Sir John Franklin's attempt to find a Northwest Passage, but I looked the book up and see that I'm wrong.  Right part of the globe, though.
