    1. I do hope you like them, though of course, you’re not obligated to…My feelings won’t be hurt. Could I perchance squeeze an amazon review out of you (honest of course) once you’ve read them? Whether 1 or 5 stars, it would help tremendously. Have fun on your travels!

      1. You crack me up Fourat. I don’t ever feel obligated to like things …. in fact, I frequently read things I know I’ll disagree with writers on assuming there will also be commonground I wasn’t aware of yet so no worries on pressure. Will consider the reviews as asked. 🙂
