Hi Folks!
It's me back again...reading and puzzling. I very much enjoyed posting pictures of some of the jigsaw puzzles I've done in the past, and I will continue to do so throughout this year of 2025.
My name is Madeline. I'm in my 70s, married, with three grown children, and two grandchildren, ages eleven and six. I'm a retired nurse, but now I sort of live the life of a librarian as I have a very active Little Free Library on our front lawn (built by my husband), am an avid Bookcrosser, a devoted fan of LibraryThing, and the creator of the TIOLI challenge on LT's 75 Books Challenges for many years now.
My favorite reads are literary fiction (particularly contemporary Israeli and Japanese novels) and memoirs. I never know what I will read in the future as...if a book I want to read is on a list...for sure I'll never read it. Stick around and see what I will read...at random, of course. :D
