Thanks you for all the book recommendations and wonderful recipes over the years and best of luck adjusting to a new routine.

When I read a serious book, I'm never quite sure how to review it without offending someone because I'm not an expert and usually just give my overall reaction. I don't go into depth about the politics or social commentary that might be presented in the work. My blog has always been more for my own benefit; an online journal, if you will. Like you, I prefer to have f2f discussions about deeper issues. I am happy that you didn't take this moment to announce that you are leaving the blogosphere. I enjoy your cooking posts so much and would miss those, as well as your book recommendations. We're all adjusting to this new world, aren't we? Be well.Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-69034492076356839892020-07-10T18:52:03.834-04:002020-07-10T18:52:03.834-04:00I have weeks when I'm all excited about readin...I have weeks when I'm all excited about reading and reviews and then other weeks when I just want to read and not review.

Good to know what you current plans are. My reading/blogging has been up and down and who knows how it will be in the future. I hope we can all engage now and then - just to keep in touch. However, our current situation has affected more than most of us ever dreamed it would and will continue to do so I suspect. A new 'normal' - what does that even mean? LOL<br /><br />Whatever you choose to share, I'll be delighted to read.
