It must have been bitter sweet returning home after walking the streets of your ancestors. Glad you made it back safely.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@@LibroParadiso-ep4zt that’s a good description of it. But I’ve also returned quite sick, so it’s been good to sleep in my own bed and try to recuperate. It was an incredible trip, though.

[@SueJacksonDE]

This is a fun one!! As soon as you mentioned an LA setting, I thought of EZ Rawlins - great minds! And my husband just finished The Big Sleep which I gave to him for Father's Day. Great questions here, and I enjoyed hearing your answers. Hope you enjoyed your trip!

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

It was a great trip! Thanks, Sue!

[@stuartgriffin1001]

Thanks for tagging me Pat. I will do this one soon. Back in 2019, I had an operation. They gave me a prescription for a painkiller. When I picked it up, I was totally shocked that it was Oxycontin. I had heard so much about it, I figured they wouldn't be allowed anyone to prescribe it anymore. Fortunately, the pain wasn't bad, and I never took any.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Wow. I am glad that you never had to use it.

Great responses to the tag. My favorite Dickens is Tale Of Two Cities, fell in love as a student. I love The Great Gatsby. Shakespeare wrote so much dark and disturbing stuff that would appeal to horror readers.

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

Hi Cliff. Oh yes, lots of dark stuff in Shakespeare. Macbeth is filled with horror!

[@Nina_DP]

Welcome back, Pat. I always seem to pick up souvenir cooties while away, too, especially when traveling by plane. Heading to Italy in a couple of days; we'll see if the tradition continues. Meanwhile, I hope you are feeling better very soon. I *knew* Gatsby was gonna be your party book! 🎉

[@BookChatWithPat8668]

@@Nina_DP oh Nina! Have a wonderful trip to Italy! The plane ride to Ireland was brutal. An overnight flight that was jam packed and lots of people coughing and sneezing. I was really sick by Wednesday of the trip. Ugh. I hope you escape the cooties!

Oh! A new video! click the thumbs up button. Next watch video. I am sorry you are under the weather! I hope it is nothing serious and that you start to feel better soon. What a great tag! I have only read a handful of the titles but am interested in them all! So that being said... I have been a little bored lately and so... Commenter plays along with tag. 1) Now in November by Josephine Johnson 2) ? 3) The Shack 4) A Little LIfe by Hanya Yanagihara 5) Rising Sun Michael Crichton 6) Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller (not much of a romance reader any more! Had to think waaaay back!) 7) Shiver by Allie Reynolds (reunion, had to think outside the box on this one) 8) The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson 9) Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man by Mary Trump (best I could come up with!)

Hi Pat! Welcome back! I’m a bit sad that your trip is over already, but I hope you had a great time and I’m so happy to see you back at it again! Take care of yourself though, there’s no rush!

The book about the Sackler family was also a good pick, I have only seen the dramatization of it on Netflix. The audacity is right.

Hi Nicole. Oh, I have definitely read Demon Copperhead, and I loved it. I think that was a book that I had pre-ordered before it was even published. Definitely think it deserved every award it won.
