I am officially full of nog. Nogged out. It was a lovely
holiday, though, and check out my book haul!
My 2016 stack now includes the following:
The Secret Wisdom of the Earth by Christopher Scotton
The Bookshop Book by Jen Campbell
The Dorito Effect by Mark Schatzker
Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal
Thank you to all the Santas in my life!
As promised, I read just one book last week – The Wonder Garden
by Lauren Acampora. It ended up being an interesting-but-not-too-taxing read,
and my review is forthcoming. I also posted a review of Kent Haruf’s Our Souls At Night. This week I plan to post my “Best of 2015” list and a recap of my
progress on my 2015 Diversity Bingo Challenge (which I am losing).
Speaking of diversity, I plan to finish one more book before the year ends: Ghettoside by Jill Leovy. This piece of narrative nonfiction has been discussed as an interesting pairing with Between the World and Me by Ta’Nehisi Coates. I’ve started it, and it’s really good so far.
I hope you all are recuperating nicely from your various
celebrations. I’m getting excited for the reading year ahead.
(It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Book Date.)

The Jen Campbell book looks good, what a wonderful Christmas gift and I am sure lovely to just browse and delight in.
The Bookshop Book looks like one I'd enjoy. Have a great week, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
The Secret Wisdom of the Earth will be on my favorite of 2015 list. Hope you like it too!
I was just looking at Our Souls at Night as an audio download and passed on it because I didn't care for the narrator. I'll have to look for it in print instead. Enjoy your week!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by!
Introverted Jen, Our Souls... is a very quick and easy read in print. Let me know what you think about the ending.
Nise, I hadn't heard about The Secret Wisdom until I received it. I'm looking forward to it!
