Sweet and to the point. I like it!
I’m intrigued. Always have another book on the shelf to read!
Thanks for sharing . It’s a good thing when women out number men😉
Ya Covid shutdown got me reading lots too. Might look for this
Listen to Mother. This was another very good micro-critique (& good use of those COVID-19 days/weeks/months/years).
Great work! 🥶
