Happy New Year --Ann--
I haven't read any of these book and will have to add a couple to my list. I have really enjoyed audio books this year and listen to them while I sew or while I'm in the family room in the evening while my husband watches tv. In addition, I always have at least one book that I'm reading. Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the books by Jojo Moyes; I enjoyed a few of her other titles. Happy New Year to you and your family, and thanks for the reminder to count up the books I've read this year!
