But, here we go. It’s December. just 18 days until January 1, 2025.

Mary Anita And The Second Liberation In Kenya Consider reading this book full of African passion, flavour, social life and politics.
Pleasure to meet you, Ed. Look forward to sharing a love of literature with you.
Thanks for accepting my friend request, Lorina. You seem like an interesting person, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's.Regards, and have a great day, Ed

Hi Lorina,Thanks for befriending this fellow author on Goodreads!
You're welcome, Lorena. 'Blind Assassin' makes 'Handmaid's Tale' look like a novice's work, IMO. She's in top form with this one.
Lorina,Thanks for the recommendation, I have read one book by Atwood (the handmaid's tale) and truly enjoyed it, next time I am at the bookstore I'll make sure to look up Blind Assasin. ;o)

Hello Lorina, I hope you are having a good day! =)http://www.cardshark.com/content/view...
