Great job on your progress. I love the idea of starting each day with a hug and counting your blessings! That's a great combo and will go a long way in boosting your mental health.

Three new books! At once! Impressive! Which books if I may ask?

Mamatigerj · Nov 6, 2023

@Anek, thank you!
It really isn't too impressive; i have a lot of time to myself for one thing. Also, i am a mood reader, so i often have 2 or 3 very different books going at once. The three i started yesterday are:

All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy
Jane of Lantern Hill by Lucy Maud Montgomery,
Holy Moments by Matthew Kelly (which is sort of a devotional/inspirational/self-help? book that i found at a Little Free Library, and i am just reading a short section each day.
