I may be prejudicial because she’s my mom but @Jacquie is an amazing author and all her books make you feel good after reading them and they all have humor so I warn you be very careful while drinking and reading because whatever you’re drinking may come out your nose….
and I have to say hot coffee coming out the nose does not feel very nice…lol

Bleachers by John Grisham prints very thin. Unsure of actual page count. Good fall read though. Adults who were coached by a legendary high school football coach come back to reminisce as he lays on his deathbed.
