ReplyDeleteOf that dozen, which was your favorite? Just curious.
DeleteLooks like a good reading year for you, Les. I think I've read 15 of the ones on your list and have several more on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteI was really pleased with my year of reading, Kay, especially toward the end of the year. I don't usually read much in November and December, but this year I did.
DeleteA wonderful reading year for you! I’m putting quite a few of those on my list. Bury Your Dead is my next Louise Penny, so I’m happy to know you have it a 5 rating! Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI am really pleased with my year of reading, Robin. There were a lot of mediocre books, but the 4 and 5 star reads helped balance things out. You are going to love Bury Your Dead!!
