I really enjoyed the mystery surrounding the origins of mute psychiatric patient William, but the love life woes of art therapist Helen, who is helping solve the puzzle, were a distraction.

#JuneSpecials #Beatles Of course I‘ve browsed the McCartney photo book many times, I grabbed the other one at a concert at the Musical Instrument Museum a while back & haven‘t read it yet . Definitely an iconic group in the Rock canon !
Our local library branch had a used book sale this weekend. My daughter & I stopped by earlier today, towards the end of the sale. We got 5 books for $3. These both were in new condition. Not that I need more but 2 I‘ve never read & happy to support our library.
