Thank you, Little Willow. That makes me very happy.

Judy, what a cool premise! I need to put that book on my list. Happy New Year to you, too.

Dafluster, I read the first in that Alana series–good stuff. The one you’re reading right now sounds good, too.

Heather and Dylan, sorry. I knew there would be a few angry mutterings if I revealed what I’d read. Sorry! Be patient! You’ll love it!

Kelley, I’ve never read A Christmas Carol, either, despite all the other Dickens I’ve read and loved. I think it’s for the same reason you said–I’ve seen so many movie versions of it, I feel like I know it. But the novel must be great–let me know what you think.

Nicole, this is a crazy time of year. We do what we can, and sometimes reading a magazine is exactly the right thing. Enjoy it–it’s all reading!

Barry, I’m all for the telethon. But there must be only one or two authors with that problem, so would it really be worth it?

I read three more books since this morning, and I’ll give you a hint at my favorite of the three:

It included a dozen adorable puppies.

Congratulations, kudos, and hurrah. I’ve been saving this book for months, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. Thank you, and more kudos.

I read “The Speed of Dark,” about a man with autism being coerced by his employer to be a test volunteer for a brain operation that would make him ‘normal’ and he has to decide whether or not he wants to go through with it…set a few years in the future, and DOES give one something to consider.

Happy New Year, every one…may you all have a great and productive year.

daflufster, I read A Great and Terrible Beauty, which is Libba Bray’s first part of that trilogy, and I loved it. So strange and unexpected. I thought it was going to be historical fiction, but it ended up being even more–a terrific fantasy that was quite scary at times. I’m looking forward to the second part. The third part is newly released this month.

The First Test sounds fantastic! I’ll have to try it sometime.

Have you read A Certain Slant of Light by Laura Whitcomb? If not, do.

This morning, I read the play You Can’t Take It With You by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman.

last nihgt i finnished The First Test by Tamora Pierce. Ut’s about a girl, Keladry of Mindelan, who wants to become a knight. Problem with that is: she is to be the first KNOWN girl knight in over a centuary. The only other female knight is Lady Allana[aka The Lioness] and se pretended to be a boy all the way through her years as a trainee. Keladry has to go through a probationary period, and has to work twice as hard as any boy so she can prove herself in front of the kingdom
