...Wow you did get a lot done! December is so busy! <br /><br />I really liked My Antonia too! And I am definitely adding that Cheryl Strayed book to my list. It sounds really good. <br /><br />I would love to read A Christmas Carol before Christmas!

I planned to read a nonfiction book about the Christmas Truce, but now I am not sure if I want to read about war this month. I'll do a read-along of the Dickens with you, if you are still up for it. I've been meaning to read it in December for the last several years and never got around to it.
