Thanks for the compliments about my reading volume - ha! It helps that about half of them are audiobooks.

I found the writing fresh.<br /><br />Might I add that you read an incredible amount of books?! I am most impressed by how much you are able to put away, while I putter around here in my own slow world. ;)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-85669663898559962482018-11-11T16:10:55.428-06:002018-11-11T16:10:55.428-06:00I did find things to like.

By the time I got to it I lost interested because for me to read a series or follow-up books it has to be pretty good.
