Not my typical type of book but an okay young adult story with a Groundhog Day theme. Our internet was down, & I was waiting for other books from the library, so it was a nice distraction.

Now I'm reading "Hester" by Laurie Lico Albanese. From Goodreads:

A vivid reimagining of the woman who inspired Hester Prynne, the tragic heroine of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, and a journey into the enduring legacy of New England's witchcraft trials.

I'm about 150 pages in & it's a pretty good story so far, but it better pick up soon.

Merry Christmas, hermetic!
