Ms. Hen's Top 10 2023
Ms. Hen discovered when she was reviewing the books she had read this year, it was difficult to come up with the top ten. Usually she has an excess of wonderful books that she has enjoyed, but this year her list was deficient.
Ms. Hen thinks that the world has problems, and there's nothing anyone can do. Between those not respecting other people, violence and war, all around misery, not to mention the environmental crisis, and utter desolation of the human race, she thinks that anyone who tries to be happy or positive is borderline ridiculous.
She doesn't want to feel this way, but she does. She still enjoys making herself laugh, however, because that is the only thing that gets her through each day.

Happy New Year!
All the best,
Ms. Hen
