Sandra, I think it is safe to say I think you are the most interesting person I am connected with here.

I'm similar about books. It's only in the last 6 years that I've become so bookish. But that is the only"thing" i spend money on. I dislike clutter or stuff and I am not a victim of the fashion trends.

There's a wonderful book coming out in September that I read an advanced copy of. It's just popped into my mind as I think you may enjoy the free spirit of the author. It's a memoir called "instead" by Maria Coffrey
