Do y’all ever read books and then weeks, years later, you hear about a book that sounds good; so, you add it to your list of books you want to read - not realizing that you’ve already read it? Or is it just me?
It’s November! And I mean, it’s two weeks until Thanksgiving! Time is passing faster than my hair is growing around here. I have such a list of things to do, but here I am at the beach as if I haven’t care in the world. I’m acting like there aren’t only six weeks before Christmas. Yes, you read that correctly. Six weeks!!!
I won’t think about that today. I’ll tell you about the books. I read in July instead.
