You did great with a total of 20! I'm hoping to finish one more before the end of the month, but I still won't hit 20. <br /><br />I'm interested in the books you've chosen for your fall reading. I am drawn to novels with senior protagonists, too. We Spread sounds very good! The Kingsolver and Irving books are high on my list, too. I need to catch up on Allen Eskens books. I think I've only read one.Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-22588939890862344582022-08-28T19:11:48.337-04:002022-08-28T19:11:48.337-04:00Yes, my eyes need Audio, LP or eBooks lately as my...Yes, my eyes need Audio, LP or eBooks lately as my eyes get too tired.
