More recent fiction is mostly contemporary police procedurals, I think. I have read some of each.<br /><br />We are very happy that we have good news from the retina specialist and his vision should get better over time. It is hard not to be impatient though.<br /><br />TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-35922481852277058102022-03-07T21:07:44.273-08:002022-03-07T21:07:44.273-08:00I love the cover!
