Hey Bookworms, happy almost Friday. This is the second installment of Something Old, Something New. Two books. Something I’ve read (old) and something I haven’t (new). I have way too many books. I’m not complaining at all, simply stating a fact. I only keep what I’ve...
• Thank you #RandomHouse #partner for this copy of Live a Little by Howard Jacobson •☠️ Have you ever thought about what age you might live to be? Is there a natural assumption or idea within yourself that you’ll see seventy, eighty, or beyond? What I...
