Are you really going back & planning to review all the ones from early in 2020? wow that'll be a lot right? funny perhaps we will be bored on Christmas day : snowed in, isolated, closed down, & not in California. It's a sad state of affairs.

Anyway, we don't want to do anything that makes us want to stop blogging. Reading is priority with me. The rest is random with no rules! I wonder how I will do with my quest.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-7207769811611614112020-12-20T17:14:44.537-08:002020-12-20T17:14:44.537-08:00It was a pretty incredible story, such fine writin...It was a pretty incredible story, such fine writing. I get you wanting to review all you read in 2020. I have this "self-imposed" mindset of having to write something about every book I read. I used to force myself to write it immediately after finishing the book and before beginning a new one but, it eventually made me want to stop blogging.

I just don't think I can read about the loss of a child yet - so I will pick this up when I'm feeling content in general. Very very good review!
