Looking forward to Wally Lamb’s book and I don’t even know what it is about. I am trying to get back into the swing of my normal reading habits.

I didn’t know much about it either, Nise, but I’m enjoying it. 500+ pages, so I probably won’t finish it today. My eyes blur over if I read too long! lol
Thanks for visiting.

I am glad to be reading it now, Diane, but it’s long. While I’m reading, though, I’m not thinking about that. It is absorbing…thanks for visiting.

I should try Wally Lamb again. I can’t even remember the title of the one I read but I wasn’t terribly impressed. But then so many people love him that I feel like I must have missed something. Maybe someday. Enjoy your week!
