What's on your Monday menu?
Judy Blume's "Forever". We'd all heard of it, but none of us had read it (it was published in 1975 - and we're all over 60. I'm the youngest at 61, so I guess it's conceivable that I could have read it, but I didn't...and the others in the group would have all been in college - or already out of college - when it was written). Anyway, even though we all agreed that we were so glad we weren't teenagers anymore, and a couple of the older ones were surprised the kids in the book were having sex in high school (I sure wasn't surprised....half our high school was having sex then, I think - at least), we liked the book.
next up is "The Graveyard Book" (Neil Gaiman). Never heard of it - so not sure what to expect.

I am not the biggest Judy Blume fan (I read them all at the appropriate times of course, lol). Gaiman is a fave though, I hope you like it. It's not Coraline but it's pretty good. He very much spans ages and styles across his set of books. Audible just did a fantastic audio play of his Sandman that was incredible.

Have a great day, all!

BB8 is my favorite droid. We have a BB8 too, like Christina. And my son's ring tone and text tone on my phone is BB8's noise.
We are thinking of another Star Wars Disney trip this summer too. Just gotta coordinate the schedules. I miss the good ol'days that we had to coordinate only two working adult calendars.
