Listen. I get it: You're out in the sun, enjoying summer's multitude of joys including melanoma, listening to French concertina music on your Grundig shortwave radio. But reading still is the No. 1 destination vacation! And unlike the sun, it doesn't burn (unless you NEED it to)
For most of us, so much of who we are is little different from who we first were. #SundaySentence from What About the Bodies by Ken Jaworowski. Just started this gem and got pulled right in.

An absolute knockout. I loved every page! Happy book birthday, @meganeabbott!! 📖🎯
