Hey, bartender!

Do you have a bucket list?

After 2018, mine is more like a shot glass.

Last year, I crossed off two big items on my personal bucket list: vacationing in Hawaii and becoming a grandmother.

My pleasure! I like to connect with other readers who read a wide spectrum of books. I'm a big mystery and biography fan myself, along with all types of drama and nonfiction. When I write a book, it seems like everything I've read comes into play and is useful. Happy reading!
