January 1, 2021 IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND

 Happy New Year. So glad it's 2021. Although 2020 was a tough year, I learned many  lessons. All I really need is a good pair of running shoes, yoga, books, paint, cocktail hour, health, family and friends. LIFE IS GOOD. It's really that simple. Looking back over the year--I read 55 books and reviewed 46. I've been everywhere--Germany, Italy, Aleppo, England, Malaysia, California,  New York--even on a cattle drive in the Old West. Good times. Without further ado-- I'd like to announce my favorite books of 2020:
