(Repost for 2024.06.20)
Thank you for describing me!
I hope you are enjoying the summer and the longest days of the year! And you are staying cool!
My year has been splendid so far! There is so much I enjoy doing and so much more to enjoy!
But first of all, I thank those of you who answered my two questions in May's newsletter (only some of you received both questions). Here is the summary, in case you are curious.
Q1. As a reader, do you prefer a historical novel or a memoir?
27 of you answered this question. Some of you had multiple answers.

Memoir: 16/27
Any good book: 3/27

Q2. What one word or phrase would you use to describe me?
