Hey, everyone, I hope you had a super-fabulous and memorable holiday. I sure did! My son informed me that I am a grandfather-elect! Now we're having fun!
I know you're all waiting for my 2023 reading list, traditionally released after Christmas. Legend: * = re-read. ** = co-read with my high school junior son (who is not having a baby, thank you very much!).
Cheers, and happy reading in 2024!
