I enjoyed this novel loosely based on a real person. The protragonist is an 84-year old woman who looks back on her life all the while walking over 10 miles on New Year's Eve in 1984.

#ItTakesAllKinds #Roadtrip I think it said that they took these signs down in 1963 ,but at its height ,there were 7000 sets in 43 states. Fun car game to look for these on your travels back in the day.Found this little gem ,at the big book sale I went to a few weeks ago . Published in 1965. So six signs spread out a ways , you get a poem!

pickFirst,I‘d like to thank Goodreads for picking me as a winner to receive a copy of this book.Second-I‘ve decided to try really hard to never read the book reviews before I read a book.The reviews on this book almost had me convinced not to read it.I‘m so glad that I took a chance,because I ended up really enjoying it.It‘s a story about growing and leaning.Its about hitting rock bottom and bouncing back.This author did a great job on her first novel
Because books, the good ones, the ones you hold on to and come back to, they never disappoint. They're the best kind of escape because, instead of leading you away from your-self, they end up circling you back to yourself, nice and easy, helping you see things not just as they are, but as you are too.

As of 20 minutes ago I am now officially in my 40s! My reading & Litsying so far this summer has been much less than usual. There has been a lot going on, including prep for a huge house party we had on Saturday to celebrate. But things will be quite big down now and I‘m looking forward to sinking back into my reading and checking in here. Im currently reading The Guncle and really enjoying it.
so-soThis was OK, but it was first published in 2009 and parts of it therefore feel dated.
I read this a few years ago and think it's about time for a re-read. #ArtfulAugust #TitleWithPersonsName @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Day 252.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
