These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently
reading?The Meryl Streep Movie Club by Mia March. “A novel of love, family and movie night.” I really like the protagonists and appreciate how clearly they are drawn. But the story telling is pretty predictable and, while I will finish it, I'm very sure I already know who will live happily ever after and with which man. It's just Ms. March's first novel, though, so I think it shows promise and I enjoy how she ties in the magic of the movies.
• What did you recently finish reading? Robert B. Parker's Lullaby. It was an engaging mystery that was true to Spenser/Parker's unique voice. Also, it has me longing to go back to Boston.
• What will you read next? Anne Frank's Family by Mirjam Pressler. It's been 70 years since Anne breathed free. I think she deserves to be remembered, and this scholarly book fits the bill.
Please note: If you have a WordPress blog, I can't return the favor and comment on your post unless you change your settings. WordPress hates me these days.
I've added Maryl Streep to my reading list. I think I need something light after the two intense books I've finished reading.
