Dear Masses,
Happy end of 2016. (Gulp, how is that even possible?)
As you may or may not know, I love reading and have an annual reading contest with my sister Catherine.
She was a non-participant this year, but I'll share my list anyway. My goal is always to read 52 books (and if we want to count the number of times I read through the book I'm writing with my friend, Lindsay, then I may be right on the number this year. Just saying.)
Hope your holiday week is lovely.
