    What a big stack of books and I’ve only read one of them - “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. It’s one I didn’t think I’d like but I was pleasantly surprised.

Thank you for visiting and taking the time to comment. It means so much.

I apologize for word verification, but as soon as I changed the settings from only users with Google accounts, I started receiving a ton of spam comments...within one hour of changing the settings. The bots are on high alert apparently.
