I’ll be honest – I’m having a hard time with The Winter Queen.  It was the only book I took with me while we were off eating our way through San Francisco, yet I managed to read barely 50 pages while reading all of three fat magazines, knitting two Christmas presents, and hand-writing extensive blog notes about our trip.  So, sigh, I’m glad I have this challenge to keep me honest.

A few lists and sign-ups arrived in my inbox while I was away  A big welcome to: Anj, Jennifer, Out of Yarn, Sara, and Unmitigated Me.  And you can now peruse lists from: Amy, Lanea, Nanette, Rebekah, and Stephanie.
