Sometimes you just need a donkey to remind you to kick up your heels & embrace life. 🫏

Short & sweet without being saccharine.

Best line, “His head was full of a musical buzz, and although his Muse had chosen to inhabit an odd and inappropriate person, Andy Lightfoot was happy because he was writing poems and that was what he was meant to do.”

Tamra @mcctrish it‘s been the most roller coaster spring! Way above average & dry, then way below average and wet & windy. I am a Goldilocks and complain unless it‘s just right. 3w

$2 a bag library sale. Funny, there were several tables of hardback books but I paid little attention. I guess I prefer paperbacks - the Roy book was on a paperback table. 😜

Lcsmcat I liked The Spare Room. It‘s a different kind of read, but it felt really honest to me. 6y
