In reply to susan. We're fine here, but watching the numbers in Michigan jump by over 1,000 every day is sobering. Plus the feeling that we have NO leadership and have been misled from the beginning by the person in power. Gretchen Whitmer is great- very proactive. She was considered, but even before this said no- which I appreciate. She is a first term governor and wants more experience. Stay safe, my friend. Any chance spring is on its way? We had sunshine today and it was lovely.

In reply to Laila. You, too! We definitely need to be kinder to ourselves. I read and write when I can and when I want to knit or watch TV I do that.

In reply to Janie. Thank you so much for continuing to stop and read my book (non-book) thoughts! It is a scary time, especially here in Michigan. Sadly, I don't think we're unusual and every state is going to go through what we are depending on when they start really testing.

In reply to Brittany Block.

I think the audio of Untamed would be wonderful because she has a lovely voice. Very soothing.

I just looked at my stats and I had the same experience! I would have said I didn’t read much at all, but I did. Maybe it didn’t stick? Nothing is normal anymore…

Been trying to keep the anxiety in check by not watching endless hours of daily news. We’re cooped up inside in Western Canada where the weather this week is freezing. My husband is able to work from home and we’ve done some Zoom chats with family & friends around the States and also in town which helps. It’s a weird & somber reality everyday to wake up to. Anyways I hope you are keeping well in Michigan. I heard the Governor there made Biden’s list for possible VP candidate. Hmm. It sounds like Adrienne Miller indeed needs an editor …. and my interest for it … is not there. stay well. ps. the situation makes one feel helpless for sure ….

You’ve read a lot in March despite less ability to concentrate! Well done! I have Untamed on my bench right now, and will get to it sometime soon. My reading pace is slower than normal but I’m giving myself grace about it! Sending good thoughts your way.

It is wonderful to have your reviews and comments all the time but especially now when we are so lost from each other!
Thanks for keeping up your good comments!!

March has been a strange month for me but oddly I think I’ve read the most I’ve read all year. Oona Out of Order was an option for me to pick as an early audiobook through in February, but I skipped it thinking it wasn’t for me. I may try it on audio just as a different read because it sounds interesting. I can’t wait to listen to Untamed (or maybe actually own?) now that I’ve listened to her first two. I wanted to know more about her and her writing before I jumped into her newest one and am so glad to have read her earlier ones. There are people in my family that I think would benefit from reading both of those but unfortunately they aren’t readers (which I will never understand)! Still may try around the holidays.
