ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
Such great reads here. An exciting year ahead with some great authors I bet! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have failed so miserably in this past year. Reading somehow just isn't happening like it used to. Thanks for the reading list and here's hoping I can do some of the suggestions justice.

Hi, I wish I had taken the men's sign too at that hotel but we had already passed it and I only noticed the women's sign. It will be a very long time before there is a possibility of returning to that hotel.
