I’ve been very busy this year so far, but I’ve been reading anyway!  Here is a hasty iPad photo of the wonderful stack of books I received for Christmas, all of which I expect to read and review over the next few months.  [UPDATE: I added links to the reviews when I posted them.]

• Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, translated by Dorothy Britton
• Little Altars Everywhere by Rebecca Wells
• The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson, translated by Rod Bradbury
• The Word Exchange by Alena Graedon
• The Dance of Anger by Harriet G. Lerner
• Shadows in the Twilight by Henning Mankell, translated by Laurie Thompson
• Cut Me Loose by Leah Vincent
• My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman, translated by Henning Koch
• The Girl Next Door by Ruth Rendell
• The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton
• The Natural House Book by David Pearson

I’ve already read three of them and parts of two others!  Can you guess which ones?  Which would you read first?

Having new-to-me books to read works for me!  Stay tuned for reviews, coming soon! Meanwhile, visit the Quick Lit linkup for other writers’ book reviews!
