(I reviewed it for The Voice (United for Libraries).) That's the only one of those you listed that I've read. My favorite fiction for the year were Virgil Wander, by Leif Engler, and A Well-Behaved Woman, by Therese Anne Fowler.... And in a month I'll have a huge stack of new ARCs from ALA Midwinter!

From your list of favorites, I have read...Hi, Lesa. From your list of favorites, I have read Broken Places, A Treacherous Curse, and November Road. I also asked for and received I'd Rather Be Reading for Christmas (thank you for the recommendation) and I am about halfway through and enjoying it very much. I would encourage you to read Becoming, as I thought it was an extraordinary book. I have made a start at organizing books for my favorites list, but I'm glad I haven't finished it because I just read a book that has to be on it. <br /><br />Mike is about to enter hospice care at home so it's a difficult time, making the pleasure I take in reading even more important to keep me sane and as strong as possible. I can't tell you how much I enjoy reading your daily blog and interacting with your other readers. It's a real community, and I treasure it. <br /><br />Happy New Year in advance!Margie Buntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120666616254809025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-44868789518759389222018-12-30T21:27:11.985-06:002018-12-30T21:27:11.985-06:00Thank you, Sandie.

But, I prioritized family over the holidays, and that felt right. I'm happy I did that, too. I share Donis Casey's books with my youngest sister. She enjoys them as much as I do. Oh, you have a kindred soul in the family! Someone to talk books. I do that all the time with my family. Bogel's book is special. Hugs, my friend.

And the only book on your list that I've read so far is Anne Bogel's book. I loved that book so much! It will be on my list as well and though I might not say it's my most favorite, it secretly is. I gave (loaned) my print copy to my sister-in-law and niece to read yesterday at the family gift exchange. I'll get it back eventually. And I gave my sister-in-law a copy of Donis Casey's first Alafair Tucker book and told her that I own copies of the other nine in case she falls in love with the series as I have. She was excited and I'm hoping she'll want to read them all. The niece I mentioned is getting her MLS right now and working part-time at the library. She is definitely a kindred spirit. <br /><br />Enjoy your next couple of days and I'll 'see' you in 2019.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.com
