41/30 - Christmas at Sabal Pines by Terry Overton
Four older women enjoy preparing for Christmas by helping decorate each others trees. They help others in the community and give hope to a man whose wife has died. Faith based.
And that’s a wrap for 2022!!

Happy New Year! Just wanted to add my last book of 2022 (I actually read the last chapter on Jan. 1, 2023, but took a long time with this one.
65/60 Becoming by Michelle Obama
I really enjoyed this book, but found it slow to get into. There was so much I did not know about her, and found while reading that I have a lot in common with her. I am impressed with this women, and admire her so much more now then I did before (and I already liked her then!).
Off to join the 2023 reading challenge. Hope to get lots of good recommendations this year!
