Remember, even if you’re going lazy & just reading a trashy, superficial book, you are better than ppl reading the National Tattler type papers. Btw they are still saying Dolly Parton is near death, Harry & Meghan are divorcing, WW 3 comes in the spring, and Jennifer still wants Brad back.

Another book rec. This about 100 pages, free on Kindle Unlimited, and is not your typical romance book! It's more of a mother vs. daughter story, but hilarious.

Another nice review! "This book isn’t just about grit; it’s about hope and defiance, even when grown-ups or society try to stamp it out [with] themes like unfair gender roles, lost childhoods,"

Lena Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Lena Forbes, 14, misses the freedom she had riding wild horses with her cousin Laura Ingalls at Silver Lake. Now it’s a few months later, and Lena’s family has moved to Yankton, South Dakotaβ€”a rough river town where Lena has to work at ...

Don’t get out yet. It sells 80% of all books! I had to do some cheap advertising & stay on top of social media but it’s working.
