Shogun hands down. It was his favorite book and quickly became one of mine. Also, Cujo, which is how he convinced me that I would enjoy reading.

Straws can be the best friend of all kinds of back pain. So sorry you’re going through this. I can empathize.

The Binti series is amazing. One of those series that sticks with you for a long time. I hope you love it like I did!

The first time I got COVID the only manifestation I had was a rash. No other symptoms. Weird.

Thanks! We like him.

Love mine! Especially while reading at night.

We had a great time playing that one too!

Grass sounds amazing. It’s on my list to read next. Thank you!

One of my favorites!

It is perfection.

I feel seen.

Day 20: Ender’s Game

My paternal grandmother as well. Her right arm was severely damaged and useless and she couldn’t stand upright, she was always hunched over. She considered herself lucky.

LOVE The Dark is Rising!!

If they will be serving alcohol I like to bring cup/glass tags or identifiers. Most people don’t seem to have them or they lose them and it helps everyone keep track of their drinks.
