Love your book recommendations! I'm going to try to do better about reading AND tracking what I read this year.... haven't fully gotten on board with non-fiction yet though :). I'm currently reading a "historical fiction" novel you might enjoy... The Geurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteFirst, yes for tossing aside books you don't like. That has been a big turning point for me in the past couple of years. But I do feel guilty abt some of them ...!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm just here seconding the wonderful goodness of Bonhoeffer and The Nightingale. Especially Bonhoeffer. And now may crack open In Cold Blood... I really enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany's! Say hi to Elliott Bay Books for me!
