Current read reflecting on the financial aspects of a life well lived. I'm glad it acknowledged very early on that globally a privileged few actually have disposable income with which they could take on board his viewpoint.
Already this is starting to feel like a lot of padding to get his central idea to book length though.....i think this will be a skim read.

I handed in my retirement application - so I see more time to respond to some #litsylove after Dec 6! 🎉
so-soThere has not been enough hammock time this summer, but today I finally got a bit with Gandalf for company. I found this book an interesting examination of character and commentary on aging alone, but it was a rather slow and melancholy read for me. I was glad that it ended with a bit of hopefulness.

I read a few more pages of Quartet in Autumn today while filling the overhead bin (upper right photo) and found this unfamiliar word. Apparently, Marcia is having a tin of sardines originally for the cat.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

I read about one-third of Out With the Tide (#18) and set it down. Meh. I may pick it up again in the near future. I'm about to start The Third Chapter (#4).
I've also read Nick of Time by Cathi Stoler. I'm also part way through Out of Time by the same author.

My school year is off to a good start. I'm already 3 books in on a 3 day rotation. The Library Dragon is still a favorite. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been too busy to enjoy much social media.
so-soThis was an interesting take on financial freedom and retirement. It made me think i‘m a lot of ways but it was also a little repetitive and longer than it needed to be and the narration felt uneven. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
