I really enjoyed this book, mostly because, yes, it was definitely a walk down memory lane for me. The stories are very short – no more than two or three pages and with large print that makes them physically easy to read. They encompass the years between the 1950s to the 1980s. Also, each story includes prompts to encourage the reader to reflect on our own experiences or for group conversations.

I highly recommend this book for seniors, senior community libraries, or personal care attendants to purchase and not only enjoy, but put to use writing down our own memories and experiences.

This was so much fun. It’s a really quick read not just because it fun, but it’s only 89 pages too. In this one, Jamie lives in a little efficiency apartment above landlord Curt. Curt’s niece Maisie shows up one night full of teenage angst and mood. She argues with Curt so Jamie takes her upstairs and they connect over junk food and old TV. The next day, the mystery starts with the disappearance of Jamie and Curt’s neighbor, Jack. As Jamie and Maisie look into his missing, things get weird as reindeer show up and they find out that Jack is a toy maker… and yes, you know where this is going. It all turns out well, especially for Curt and Jamie.
