Very impressive.<br /><br />I got my mother into reading the Jess Montgomery books. My mom is from Ohio and the combination of history and mystery is a good one. We are just waiting for The Stills to come into paperback next year before we get it (I haven't been able to convince her to try ebooks from the library so buying is currently our best option LOL).Ruthiellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871834571645928819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-2390347568018287792021-12-07T10:17:38.431-06:002021-12-07T10:17:38.431-06:00There are so many pandemic stories because it hit ...There are so many pandemic stories because it hit the world, not just one area, and everyone of us has thoughts about it.
