After reading your post I have added it to my list. Hopefully I will get to it this year. <br /><br />Wonderful to read your blog post.

I've actually been back blogging since May 2018, but only once a month (all I can handle) and then I skipped December because there was just too much going on in the Fritz household! It's actually been more than 12 months since my second aneurysm rupture in Sept 2017. Hard to believe! <br /><br />I hope to keep up with book reviews for MMGM, but also to eventually talk about other things, and not limit myself to book reviews only. <br /><br />Hope you've been well.

That definitely pubbed in 2018, so it's eligible. <br /><br />I read it back in the spring, after getting home from the second round of hospital/rehab center, so unfortunately I remember very little of it! I should read it again. <br /><br />The other two you mentioned came out around the same time, May 2018. Thanks. I'll add them to my TBR. Joanne R.
