That’s a lovely list to choose from! I’ve just had an afternoon in the garden clearing the decks (a dense memoir and a poetry pamphlet) so I can start my 20 books of summer tomorrow …
Good for you. I was watching Sarah run (more walking) 5k around Poole Park. I have finished my first of the 20 books already… If there are any that you want from the pile let me know, though some have been spoken for.
Ooh, was she at parkrun or was it a special event. Good for Sarah! I have actually volunteered for the parkrun there, timing 870-odd people across the finish line. I’ve almost finished my first 20 Books book now so feel better about it!
It was a race for life / mud run. They jogged and walked the 5k. I have read my first one!!!
