First Week of November.

 Current Reads:

  • Bleak House by Charles Dickens.  On page 422
  • Home Work: A Memoir of my Hollywood Years by Julie Andrews Edwards Page  83


I find memoirs are easy non-fiction to read, so far.   This is my first nonfiction for Non-Fiction November.   I'm already 83 pages and find myself reading this quickly, but it does help I'm interested in this person.  Julie Andrews is such an interesting person and I would enjoy hearing her stories.  I just would love to hang out and have tea.
