Welcome 2020! Finalized 2020 Reading Challenge to 20 Books!

Looking forward to another year of great reads!

Life as we know has changed. During these difficult times, let's remember to be kind and supportive. Because once we survive this, we will have to live with how we handled ourselves and pick up the pieces to move forward.

Happy Easter - stay safe and stay well.

Thanks Leslie, same sentiment as we head into September.

So true!!!
But things are not getting better: in Italy two days ago a good boy was mudered by two criminals only because, black, he stepped in a fight to help someone who was been beaten. And he was beaten to death.
I can't understand where we are going...

As we say goodbye to 2020, let's reset for 2021.

Hope all is well!

Finger crossed!
