So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.
The last few years have been busy and … challenging:
- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)
- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...
- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?
I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.
So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.
Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Auntie Nettie Reads A LOT - 4th Quarter
Also, although I could really use the revenue, and as a librarian by training, I'm used to doing readers advisories, I am staying away from making too many recommendations or providing links to major on-line catalogs or retailers.
This is just a list.
Got it?
That being writ, do go forth and read ... I don't care if it's chick lit, the comics, a "How to" or "Dummies" book, the back of the cereal box, or a magazine. Just read something!
