My parents have gotten theirs, though, and so has one of my in-laws. The other one isn't quite old enough, so she'll have to wait a little bit. Soon, though.<br /><br />Glad you had a good reading month!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-10443234070129312452021-03-04T19:21:07.739-05:002021-03-04T19:21:07.739-05:00As always, I am in awe of how much you read!!

FL doesn't seem to be big on planning or communication. <br /><br />A great month for reading, too... so many good books!

I got my second one the week before last and it was such a relief. My husband has to wait while and who knows when my daughter will be able to get one. My mom is getting her second dose this week. She's planning a visit out our way the end of March. It's been over a year since we saw her. <br /><br />I am glad your February was such a great reading month! Sounds like you read some good ones. I hope you enjoy your March reads!

I love the fact that you are hitting your own shelves so hard; I'm really, really bad about remembering to do that. A quick check shows me that only 3 of the 22 books I've read this year are from my own shelves. 14 of them, on the other hand, are library books, so at least I'm not adding to my bookshelves right now. :-)Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-80567215487326133732021-02-28T17:56:03.948-05:002021-02-28T17:56:03.948-05:00Jane, glad the teachers in your family have been v...Jane, glad the teachers in your family have been vaccinated - not here, no game plan yet for them sadly.
