I just ordered my t-shirt for ALA’s Banned Books Week, Oct. 1-7. I’ve read many but not all, having gone to a rural high school in the 70s. Many of the books on the shirt I did go on to read as as an adult. However, I’m embarrassed to admit there are a few I haven’t read. Right now I’m reading The Catcher in the Rye.

I finished Hello Beautiful. I gave it 4/5 stars. Enjoy the rain, we could use some, but as with you, be careful what you wish for!
