Another year has passed and what a crazy year it was. Things
at the store are great. I just bought a house. Everything is going well; though
it does seem that the busier I am and the better life is the number of books
finished slides downward. This year I read seventy-one books and managed to
write about forty-one of them. Not too bad!
I just wanted to share a few of my “greatest hits” in a
couple different categories.
Best All Around:
The Interestings - Meg Wolitzer
The Secret History - Donna Tartt
