Mmmmm. All the busy-ness is over until January.

I am so glad to have finally found SOMEONE who agrees with me on the *having* of books. I like them to live with me, in case I need them again. And so that I can loan them to people. And just reread ad nauseum.

Merry Christmas to you, too! Let me know about The Zookeeper's Wife.

I really enjoyed The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society book!

And I give you credit for posting about reading - it was one of my resolutions for 2009 and I did a pretty crappy job at it. Though maybe I'll pick up the slack before the end of the year.

Meanwhile, tonight I bought Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay as a Christmas present for myself.

Happy reading!

It's good because it has blanks for how you chose the book, other similar books this one might make you want to read, favorite quotes, things like that.

I've not heard of Sara's Key. Should I check it out?

Sarah's Key pings one of my favorite types of novels lately - a fictionalized exploration of a writer or historian who makes life-changing discoveries while doing historical research

Very interesting! I look forward to hearing the verdict!
And same to you on the writing time!
