What are you reading this week of December 31, 2017? [View all]

Here's hoping 2018 brings an end to our huge problem.

I am reading Death of the Demon (Ha!^) by Ann Holt, a thriller/mystery wherein a murderer might possibly be a 12-year-old boy. Unusual story, for sure.

Listening to Skylight Confessions by Alice Hoffman, a romance about a family so real, so tragic, so devoted yet really screwed up, and their quest for love and truth. Another odd story, not the usual fare.

What will you be reading to start out the new year ?
