As my mother said recently, if we had known in March how long it would last we all would have been so depressed (not that we aren't now, of course). I will have to take a look at my posts now too.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-82934218360300795542020-12-21T18:42:30.107-08:002020-12-21T18:42:30.107-08:00What a clever way to make a blogger think about th...What a clever way to make a blogger think about their posts.

I try to do a mini review on every book just in case I don't really review it later, which often happens. But in 2021 I hope to do more reviews. I too hope that 2021 will be better in all ways.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-6082237605093075942020-12-21T15:23:53.526-08:002020-12-21T15:23:53.526-08:00Cath, I think your posts would be just as interest...Cath, I think your posts would be just as interesting, maybe more so. (I checked a few so I am not just saying that to be nice.) Reviewing my first posts made me reflect on how I do my blog and what I cover (and what the first posts did not pick up).

In 2020 I hardly blogged at all so many months have no post. Hopefully 2021 will be better (all around, not just as far as blogging!). I love the monthly recaps you do of your reading, I may try that in 2021.Mary R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12468537883595941188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-47811190513742458292020-12-21T14:28:17.248-08:002020-12-21T14:28:17.248-08:00Very interesting to read, Tracy.
