I'm reading Love is Blind right now! I'm enjoying all the technical details about pianos.

This sounds good.

I am sorry about Wild Mountain Thyme, but it's a lovely book.

I enjoyed the interview and the book sounds really interesting.

And to your reader Lisa, I'm glad to learn about Wild Mountain Thyme. I'm going to check out both of the books-yours and the book by Raife.
