  1. I am looking at that Brunonia Barry title as well. I think it comes out mid-January. You are much more organized that I am. I am just grabbing what I see that looks good -- mostly what I already own! We will see how my year of non-challenge reading goes.

    1. Well, I'm usually really organized at the beginning of the year. But that won't last very long!

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
