"Guys like Joel Wentworth weren't meant to fall in love with girls like me. He could have had his pick of the girls on campus but somehow the laws of nature were defied and we fell crazy in love. Straight after graduation, Joel left for New York and despite him wanting me to go with him, I refused, unwilling to disappoint my parents and risk the judgment of my friends. I never saw him again. Never even spoke to him. I've spent the last eight years working hard to put my career front and center in my life, dodging any personal complications - I have a strict no dating policy. I've managed to piece together a reality that works for me. Until now. Now, Joel's coming back to London. And I need to get over him before he gets over here." -- back cover.

@Littlewolf1 Hi! I hope I‘m not spoiling the surprise, but just hoping that you received my #JolabokaflodSwap package. USPS says it arrived, but I worry about porch pirates!

Littlewolf1 My mail box is not in front of my house and I did not get to check it yesterday on my way home… I will check it today and let you know ASAP 2y
Readergrrl Oh dear, USPS tracking said it was delivered on the 16th at 2:30pm. Please let me know if you didn‘t receive it!! Yikes! 2y
Littlewolf1 @Readergrrl I got it… thank you so much 2y
Readergrrl Thanks for checking, @Littlewolf1 !! I had some packages stolen last year and, ever since, I‘ve been anxious when sending/receiving items. Hope the season is treating you well! 🎅🏼🎄📚 2y

Andrew65 Especially at the moment! 3y
Cuilin @Andrew65 had a rough few weeks. I miss being in the classroom. Zoom teaching is not the same. Hopefully it will be better in 2021! 3y
Andrew65 @Cuilin In England all schools have been fully back for 3 months now despite the Lockdown and second peak. Although having to operate very differently I do think it is better. Attendance high at 96.7%. Tricky thing is when isolating if have symptoms being able to support children out of school as well as teaching children in class. That is challenging and exhausting. Also challenging working out if we have enough staff! (edited) 3y
Andrew65 @Cuilin I‘m end of school year tired and beyond. 3y
Cuilin @Andrew65 Yes my all my teacher friends are exhausted whether in the classroom or not. We‘re advised to self-care. Lol. How?? We‘re short staffed too. 🤦🏻‍♀️ (edited) 3y
Bookgoil I feel you on remote learning. I miss my library and my students but trying to stay focused. 3y
