A Random List of Recent Reads(And Listens) by a Retired Teacher - Page 2

Since I retired in 2022 and began to read whatever I liked (as opposed to what I had to teach), I've noticed some surprising things: 1) I like to read fiction and listen to history; 2) I read authors more than I realized, even in History; and 3) I want a story more than I want literary technique. Anyway, here are some recently finished books that I enjoyed.
