In January of 2005 I started this blog as a record of books I’ve read as I was afraid I would forget what I have read. I have often referred back to my own blog to remember a book's contents or see what I have read by an author. I have enjoyed passing my books on to friends or recommending books to read. I know I have missed recording some, but in general I try to keep up with what I have read or listened to.

Chestnut Street by Maeve Binchy (2014)
I hope I find where I started to review this feel good book about various people that live on Chestnut Street. But since I haven't so far, I will just say that Maeve Binchy just makes me feel good. She looks at young and old, people with secrets, problems, and just normal folks and intertwines them in a wonderful way. The one that I remember even months later was a taxi driver. He picks up a happy couple one night, but then some time later takes the guy to meet another woman and sees the first woman become lonely and sad over time. No one really paid attention to him as the driver, but he sees other people's lives, as his routes go through this neighborhood quite often.
