What Fiction are you reading this week, December 29, 2024? [View all]




I just started reading We Solve Murders by Richard Osman. Madcap fun, with an entertaining new cast of characters.

I'm listening to Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books by Kirsten Miller. A small town in Georgia, a battle over banned books, and a little lending library that changes everything. This provocative and hilarious story will have book lovers cheering. I'm sure loving it and need to buy the book to add it to my collection to be given away when books like this one are all banned. It's not entirely fictional as it involves some painfully real people. And I'm sure these same conversations occurred in households across the nation this past year.

Washing everyone a happy New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. After that, it's bound to get messy. Do what you can to survive. Try to keep hope alive.

Here comes the new year
And events will soon be shocking
So treat yourself now to some good cheer
And dance like no one is watching
(I ain't kitten)
