Still my favorite novel, although A Gentleman in Moscow has become a close second. Speaking of novels, are you still working on a novel set in Russia?

Is your favorite novel Crossing to Safety? Sorry, I can't tell in this format whether you're replying to my previous answer :) I do love that book, have read it three times, and take away something new each time.

I didn’t know if I’d find them alive or dead. The temperature is -5 when I walk down the path behind our house cupping a small tub of meal worms. It had been -16 during the night, and the hens had never been in temperatures so cold. My husband had wanted to bring them inside. But I dusted off the radiant heat panel, the one we use for chicks and kittens, and had faith it would be enoug
