Christmas always means lots of books coming into the house. I tend to give everyone I know books for gifts and while I'm buying for them, I often buy a couple for myself. Then there are the best of lists that proliferate this time of year and I often end up buying books from various lists. Friends give me books they think I'll like and of course, I sometimes win books or various publishers send me books. I wish everyone a happy holiday with lots of great books to read in the new year. With that being said, here's what has come through the door lately:
