The Retired Book Lady

Life`s too short to read bad books!

We are all told “live your life to the fullest”; I am here to do just that. The Retired Booklady serves as a vessel to project my passions and clue in my loyal readers as to what inspires me in this crazy world. So, sit back, relax, and read on. If you read one of my recommendations, let me know what you thought. I would love to hear your opinion...even if it differs from mine.
