Hello to the first Monday in the new year! Did you all survive the holidays relatively intact? Or, with intact relatives? Congrats on either one. I had a nice mix of family and reading time and am ready for a new decade of reading. Here's what's up for this week. Currently Reading The Gimmicks is far from my normal choice of book.
