I also put a small stuffed puppy named Scruffy where I can see him. He reminds me to play a bit. Put any words down and they can be fixed, however awful they are at first. Put nothing down and you don't get a book. LOL(less)

But probably the best has been all the wonderful folks I've met since starting on this trek. Romance authors are incredibly supportive. I've been overwhelmed with their helpfulness. In the same way, I've tried to help others. (less)

Happy Holidays

Whenever you celebrated,I hope you had a great Thanksgiving . We did. Family, good food, games, football, and lots of laughter. You can’t tell that from this picture. Everyone was focused on eating the meal. LOL Bob supervised Kathryn again on making the turkey, and she took notes this time. At any rate, it was the traditionally wonderfully moist Bob-Kathryn turkey. My plate is more full than I in Read more of this blog post »

Brilliant writing

I'm constantly amazed at the author's phrasing and word choice. The plots are twisting and complex with a satisfying resolution if not a conclusion. I'll buy the next book as soon as I finish writing this. Penny's books are addicting

Great characters. They struggled with real life issues . Loved the intergenerational aspects of this story. Descriptions were well done. The bad guys were really bad, but they were understandable. Recommend reading this book

Marc Chernoff
“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”
― Marc Hack

Lisa Genova
“And I have no control over which yesterdays I keep and which ones get deleted. This disease will not be bargained with. I can't offer it the names of the US presidents in exchange for the names of my children. I can't give it the names of state capitals and keep the memories of my husband.
...My yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for? I live for each day. I live in the moment. Some tomorrow soon, I'll forget that I stood before you and gave this speech. But just because I'll forget it some tomorrow doesn't mean that I didn't live every second of it today. I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today doesn't matter.”
― Lisa Genova, Still Alice
