All the sitting has just made my knees worse so I was speaking to the physical therapist about it, since the wonky left knee played a monumental role in my fall to begin with. She looked at my knee X-ray and declared me NOT a hopeless case so she had told me to get on a routine to build up the muscles around my knees. So I have been using my pedaler and today I began an online Pilates course that felt really good as I used to do Pilates and it is wonderful. I also ordered an elliptical machine so I could just get some walking in. It is too hot to walk outside and, knowing Texas, when it is cooler we might have snow. I hate the weather in north Texas. There, I said it.
I am still reading in addition to these other things and am currently reading “Wildwood” by Colin Meloy. It was a gift from Bean and is a 541 page chunkster of fantasy genre. It is an easy read and has lovely illustrations but it has a bit of a dark side as well. There is a lot going on with a baby being stolen by crows, an army of irritated coyotes, a girl named Prue and a boy named Curtis and who know who else! I will review when I am done.
I was perusing the recommendations on Goodreads the other day and noticed a title by one of my daughters favorite authors, Mary Downing Hahn. The title of the book is “The Doll in the Garden A Ghost Story”. It arrived today and I am going to crack it open in a bit. It isn’t long so I doubt it will take me too long and I will review.
It looks like, for me, 2020 is going to be a year of reading YA and kiddie lit. That’s ok. They are good too and I am enjoying it.

I find quite a few YA books that are interesting, well written, and are easy and quick to read.
