As we race towards the end of 2023 I’ve realized I need to take a break and reset so I won’t be posting again until next year. This year has been more challenging than expected with my health so I need to adjust my routine and schedule, meaning there are likely […]

On both platforms I try to read and review not just entertaining books, but those on […]

I’ve been remiss about keeping everyone up-to-date about what’s happening so decided the new year was the best time for a quick, but important update. And it’s not about the fact […]

Here it is the middle of September and I haven’t shared anything about the books of fall I want to read. Quite honestly, I’m still struggling with my vision. The cataract surgery in my right eye did not go as expected. The cataract is gone, but so […]
