BOOKS READ IN 2023

What can I say about 2023? It was cold and snowy at the beginning of the year. In June, I fell off a stool into the corner of an entertainment center, giving myself a concussion that turned serious. We had a garden and I preserved the produce by freezing it or canning it. I found a therapist at the end of 2022 who helped me deal with some of the grief from losing Mom. I'm still recovering.  I wish I could have gotten there in time.  I am still having trouble making friends, though I try to talk to my neighbors.  So when loneliness hit, I turned to books, of course. The end of the year was snowy and cold. Weather to snuggle up to the fire with a good book.
