Takes the pressure off doing full reviews – I am always so far behind with those.

Susan, I am more relieved every day not to be back at school. It was a good year to retire.

I also haven’t read The Bee Keeper of Aleppo, so can’t speak to it at all, but should give it a try since I really liked Songbirds.

Hope your September is going well.

Good advice on retirement, Les. I’m trying to not put much on my plate this first year to sort of see where I settle in with it. I keep telling people that things they suggest are on my 2-3 year list, but not this year!

Hope you like The People We Keep. Thanks for all the support!

I think listening to The People We Keep upped my enjoyment level. That’s often the case for me with a great audiobook narrator.

I hear Lefteri’s tale is sad. I still want to get to her first one The Beekeeper of Aleppo. Another heartbreaker, right? Enjoy your September & retirement. Aren’t you relieved not to be back at school?! with too much work.

Life felt very hectic afterwards and I filled my days with far too many activities and chores. Now I do what needs to be done and if I have an empty day, I pick one or two things from my To Do list then relax the rest of the day. Quite honestly, I’ve yet to feel bored! You’ll figure it out! 🙂

I’m looking forward to listening to The People We Keep. I love listening to audiobooks read by Julia Whelan, so this is bound to be a winner for me.

The People We Keep was okay for me, I had a hard time getting into that story for some reason.
