Barack Obama on Dec 28 "As 2018 draws to a close, Im continuing the tradition of sharing my year-end lists. It gives me a moment to reflect on the year through the books that I found most thought-provoking, inspiring, or just plain loved."

Still reading Lighthouse Island by Paulette Jiles. I've read many dystopian novels but this one is really bothering me. It just feels like this is what it will be like in the not-too-far future. And it really sucks. Plus, I can totally relate to the protagonist, although I'm not an orphan. Just feels like if I was in her place, this is exactly what I would do.
Listening to Turbo Twenty-Three by Janet Evanovich.
Stephanie Plum has a lot on her plate, but for a girl who claims to have virtually no marketable skills, these are the kinds of sweet assignments she does best. 
Never really been a follower of this series but it was the only thing available right now in my library's Overdrive. It's a fun listen.
What's your selection this week?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
