So think of what rating I do, as simply deciding how much I liked a book, not whether it is well written, or complex or whatever. I really hate rating books, cuz I expect different things from different genres. A black labradoodle, and Buffy, an apricot standard poodle. I live with my spouse of 40+ years, Jim, and our two dogs, L.C.

So thought I'd highlight the beaches of my state this year. I live in Niceville, FL, on the Florida Gulf Coast.
