Hi. First a note: sorry I missed a couple of days last week. It was just one of those weeks. One of my goals for 2017 is to have a few extra blog posts in reserve so that I have something for those days. I am hoping for a more seamless year next year. It should be possible, now that I know I can do this, that I really want to do this, and I understand what it takes to do this. It's been so much fun these last few months. I look forward to lots more good books and lots of blogging in 2017! Thanks for all you of who support me and support this blog. Every time you show up here and read a little helps! 

Usually at this point, I talk about what I've finished reading, what I'm currently reading, and what's up next. But there has been so much going on lately that I don't know. I haven't really finished or started anything new. I've just been baking and cooking and looking everywhere for the cat, who was in deep hiding since his cousin, a dog, came over for Christmas dinner. The ninja power is strong with this one. I checked all three floors of our townhouse before finally locating him under the covers on the bed (I checked there the first time even!). Anyway, all is well again. We are well-fed and happy and sleepy, and all I know for sure is that there will be books, lots of good books to come, and you should stay tuned. 

Happy holidays!
