Thanksgiving has rolled around. Everyone on Facebook is writing this month about all the things they are thankful for. I have a lot to add to this list. I have a wonderful family, with a husband who has stuck with me through thick and thin for forty-two years and a beautiful daughter in her senior year. My son and his lovely wife have four gorgeous children, my grandchildren. We are all healthy. I also have the luxury of being retired and doing as I please. That means lots of reading which has been my favorite activity since I was a child. Publishers and authors help me feed my habit and I'm thankful for them also. Here's what's come through the door lately:

Great minds think alike, Sandie! I just finished "Banquet of Consequences." I couldn't put it down. Hope you're enjoying it as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ingrid. I'm about 50 pages away from finishing your novel Identity. Great book! You'll see a review here soon.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to hear what you think of The Muralist and also the Shonda Rhimes memoir. You sure read a lot of books at once. I can barely keep two straight. Enjoy your reading.
