HAPPY NEW YEAR
Thanks to the pandemic and the ravages of the climate changes I can see many new and scary changes bearing down upon us. 2023 is going to be a year when we all will have to make some difficult choices and accept that life will never be the same as it was three years ago.
Here are a selection of ebooks that might spur you on, or help you escape for a while.

JANUARY'S BOOKS

Start the year with a good deed!

Those of you with children or grandchildren who needed a Christmas poem or reading for school, church, or a Christmas occasion take a look here. I was delighted to find a large number of very good, varied readings - poems, prose and songs - online. Saved the Christmas concert from being 'the same old same old stuff yet again'.
