Just One More

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

I knew nothing about the history between Korea and Japan, until now.  The story of three generations of Korean immigrants in Japan, history comes alive through her amazing characters.  Most of the people I know are far removed from this sort of struggle, which continues today.  It is fascinating and humbling, and I was very sad to come to the end of this book.  Read soon!!

Doing All the Things Before Christmas

Which includes cleaning off my desk.
Here are a few for you:

Lethal White by Robert Galbraith

Love this series, and Lethal White is the best yet.  Devour this,
or start at the beginning with Cuckoo's Calling, because the characters
get better with each book.  (Also, if you haven't heard, this is J K Rowling's pen name!)



A Sue Grafton Binge

She is the reason I love detective/mysteries so much.  We will never see a "Z is for...", but we can always start over at A is for Alibi.  I did just that, reading the first seven books in less than a week.  Then I had murder and kidnapping nightmares.  (For real!) The moral of the story is:  too much of a good thing is just that.  Will be reading the rest of the alphabet more leisurely:)



The Colors of All the Cattle by Alexander McCall Smith

A gentle reminder that good will triumph over evil, even in politics.
My favorite of all his series, Smith never disappoints.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2019 to All!!! TBC
