Fresh new book opens wide and swallows me whole! As plot thickens, my heart pounds, I catch my breath Focusing on characters as scenes unfold Instilling memories of their length and breadth ... Completing one book a month a fine, firm goal Consider subjects even outside your depth Reading encourages to take life in stride— Back to my book! See you on the other side! *** November 7, 2019 F T I series 21 books Brian Strand, sponsor

Lol... Nice observation about pre-VCR and NetFlix days, Andrea. I did a lot more reading years ago too. One short story each week in the sauna sounds like you’re making good use of your time! ~Mark
