I hope everyone had a nice Christmas weekend. Mine was relaxing, although festive. The egg nog finally came out last night and it was a delight. Thanks to some generally lackluster reading, I changed my book selection approach in the past few weeks.

This has been all well and good, but I am focusing on reading the many books I already own. It has made a difference in the excitement already.
