I LOVE her books! She is so not my normal type of read but I love them. I do the audios and she narrates them all. Makes it even better because then she can do their voices the way she hears them in her mind while writing. That makes it so much better.

message 46: by Teri (last edited Oct 24, 2020 11:30PM) (new)

Teri | 2 comments Finished the last 3.5 hours of "Go Tell It On The Mountain" on audiobook.

Read "The Joy of a Peanuts Christmas: 50 Years of Holiday Comics" Loved it and normally wouldn't have taken the time to read it, except that we were encouraged to read FOR FUN, and "comics" was a BINGO square.

I was blessed today by an adult daughter who came over with her saxophone, and between that and a flute, piano and viola, the 2 of us "read" music for about 3 hours! It wasn't a lot of words, but it was reading notes! I don't know if that counts or not, but I wouldn't trade that time for anything. :)
