Hey, hey, hey!  How you feelin’?

BOOK QUOTE: “So many books, so little time.” — Frank Zappa

What’s up, beautiful people? Welcome or welcome back to the blog.  I hope you are doing well to begin this 2024 year, staying hydrated, caring for your body, and being gracious to yourselves.

(adding the rest mid-year)

This list “literally” changed while I was create this post because as I was adding the books, I went to Amazon to make sure the books were available, and some of my previous titles were so obscure (horror novels from the 80s) that they were priced over $100.  Where are we doing that because it won’t be me…I don’t need to read it that badly.  So, I made some adjustments, and between what I was gifted for Christmas and what I hauled for myself as a gift, Libby and Audible, I should have most of these titles covered.

Now you know I have to do a graphic, right?  So here’s a quick snapshot of the first 24 books. 

I know to some these list are silly but honestly I’ll take silly over any day of Teams meetings and bullshit.  Books area an escape for me, and I can read whatever genre I like, when I like with no judgement.  It’s absolutely the best actitivty to keep my brain busy.

Thanks so much for hanging with me today, as I know you could be doing other things with your time, so appreciate each and every one of you.  Don’t forget to subscribe and like as it really help my site.  Many thanks, Peace
