There are more but those are the highlights, and all these are "new books" the only kind I ever read. So I have to choose something to start. I know it is crazy to have this many books to choose from at once, but I am very eclectic and promiscuous in my reading tastes. Right now I have several books going at once.
We ate pizza at Sbarro in the mall. I bought Mom a chocolate ice cream and myself a cookies and cream one. You should have seen her face with ice cream all over it. I wish I had had the camera with me.
I thought of a story to tell you all later. I made notes at the mall, so I would remember it.
Well, I could not get into my space for a while there. Evidently the server was malfunctioning yet again.
TTYL,

I Love Books… Am not Happy unless surrounded by them. I just have to pick which one I want to read. I know I will find one I enjoy…Smiles, Jo Ann
