Year in Review

I feel obligated to put some kind of superlatives on this year.  So- here they are:

Biggest Events:
Max and surgery, both of equal life changing status

Best Books:
Actually, I can't think back of a book where I was like oh my god, that was the best book I've ever read besides The Affair by Lee Child and let's face it, it's not because it was the best book I've ever read, but because there was a lot of brilliant violence.

What's In a Name Challenge 4- Final

I did not finish this challenge, since I didn't read a book with jewelry or a gem.  But I don't feel like any less of a person because of it.

1. A book with a number in the title: One Day, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, One Shot
