Did you enjoy The Thorn Birds? I loved the mini-series back in the day and have often thought about reading it.

Also...I noticed you read an air fryer recipe book. Do you have one? If so, do you like it? I've been thinking about getting one, but I'm on the fence.

Parts of The Thornbirds I really liked and other parts I had to make myself get through but when a book spans that much of a time period it is hard to make it all exciting. Overall i liked the writing but there were a lot of characters I didn't like.

I love my airfryer. I was suprised how many things I could make in it. It is great for making something quick since it is just 2 that I am cooking for. I do a lot of burgers, bacon, and chicken in mine. But I just found out you can do pastry to.
