I share your feelings about HELP. Hubby enjoyed it along with so many others, yet I've attempted to get into the book and find it dull and boring. Each time I persevere and read a few more chapters, I set it down and forget about it as if it just didn't click with me. However, the movie has been well acclaimed so maybe I should see the movie and then finish the book. No big deal. I have sooo many books on my iPad that I'll never be lost for a good story.

I just finished a recently-published book, "Heartfelt Stories" written by Peggy Morgan Hatfield, who happens to be my dear friend and neighbor here in The Villages. The book is non-fiction, made up of short stories from her journal throughout Peggy's life. Easy read, delightfully amusing as well as portraying love and devotion to family, faith, and friends from which strength of character prevails. I purchased the book from Amazon, but not as an eBook as I would like her to sign the book.
