I would love to get the shingles vaccine but I have to wait a few more years. I'm terrified of getting shingles, it sounds wretched!

I did manage to finish a book recently, even while in Vegas with Nan, Andy, Zac and Brandi Cakes for Brandi's birthday. I was reading Palisades Park by Alan Brennert. I really enjoyed his previous works; Molokai, Daughter of Molokai, and Honolulu and this one was pretty good too.

Another writer I've been binging lately is Kazuo Ishiguro. I loved Remains of the Day, I read it while traveling in France and then quickly followed up with Never Let Me Go. Now I'm reading Klara and the Sun and really liking his style of writing. Do you do that too? Find a writer and go "oooh, that was lovely.... what else you got?" Thankfully with my Kindle and Libby app I'm always loaded up with books from the library so that even when I'm on vacation I never run out of something new to read!

Hope you're feeling better soon Aunt Verna! You were in our hearts and thoughts this trip and sending you so much love!!!

Verna, so sorry to hear you have shingles. When my mother had it (decades ago), she said it was more painful than childbirth, and she had seven children! So a good kick from you to get my shot.

I just finished reading Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. I was impressed that she could sustain a character, so different from her, for 500 pages.
