10. Love that library!

I know what you mean about drives to the library. The nearest one of decent size is 2 hours away. We live on the gulf coast so not a lot of permanent locals, and the digital pickings are weeks and months out to snag something. The part time residents and tourists bring their books from wherever they’re escaping from.

Gotta get the next 2 Newman books. I read Falling, she’s one of those who writes what she knows. I’m reading My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell. It’s about a much older teacher grooming a 15 year old student. Very readable, but obviously not for everyone.

I hope everyone is enjoying nice spring days and cool nights! 🐬🌴☀️
