Pam Saylor grew up in the landlocked Midwest, reading books and dreaming of travel. While on a year-long trip visiting nine countries and two continents, she managed to control her Type 1 diabetes and reconnect with her husband. A former paralegal turned contented retiree and travel addict, Pam lives with her husband Dave in Colorado. Pam and Dave are currently busy trying to agree on their next adventure. Braving the World: Adventures in Travel and Retirement is her first book.

What is it lately about sappy writing? I like Ann Patchett. I appreciate that her books don’t cause a lot of drama but tell a full story. This story doesn’t feel full to me. It feels dialed in, a lightweight beach read, full of unlikely situations bu ...more

I got hooked on PBS’s series The Durrell. Then read Gerry’s book My Family and Other Animals. This was a nice finish to my mini obsession with this family.

So many words. Some of the people who joined the author were interesting, in their short cameo, but it became a book of short cameo appearances of people who talked and talked. In the end I felt it was disjointed.

Celine by Peter Heller

I love Peter heller but I don’t think this is his best book. It is a slow main story but the side angles and stores are interesting. It is just slow. And then suddenly it is over. I don’t think the plot is very believable.

“For years, in between our short trips overseas, my husband Dave and I started talking about a different kind of trip, a long-term trip. Both of us loved the food, wine, and people of Italy, and we began talking/dreaming about someday living in Italy for an entire year. We named this dream our Beautiful Dream—our “Bel Sogno.”

“By hook or by crook, I hope that you will possess yourselves of money enough to travel and to idle, to contemplate the future or the past of the world, to dream over books and loiter at street corners and let the line of thought dip deep into the stream”
Virginia Woolf
