Books I read in 2021
First to explain why so many - I hurt my back and have been waiting for an operation but the Covid-19 surge of cases closed the Utah hospitals to only life-saving surgeries as of Sept 30, 2021. I was scheduled for early November of 2021. Hah! Due to the Omicron variant, I am still waiting as of today, Jan 24, 2022. Best the hospitals can tell me is hopefully in March 2022. So I spent A LOT of time flat on my back trying to relieve the pain and since I am still waiting, I still am spending a lot of time reading books. Thank goodness for books, especially Audible.com.
