Happy New Year! I always look forward to and enjoy your podcast!
You got me so into Inspector Gamache series, I am on book #13 (within a couple of months)! I wanted to ask if you have Hoopla account. If you have los angeles public library card (or any other library I think) you can sign up for free and all Inspector Gamache series audiobooks are available to borrow with your library card. It’s like Libby, but the best part is there is no wait period. It does have limit to how many books you can borrow, but I think with LAPL, you can borrow 8 books per month. that is how I read all the Gamache books.
Enjoy your podcasts, I save them and listen while I’m walking outdoors. I am so happy you mentioned Paula B. I haven’t even watched the strength training videos yet but I will. I’m hooked on her recipe videos. Just what I needed to start the new year off to a good start.
