This book has been on my list for a while now. It worked out that one day in the Big Apple while visiting my sister and her fiancé, it rained. We looked for something to do. Matt suggested the Amazon Book store…. yes the Amazon book store (NYC has these things). Perfect opportunity to buy a new book, no?

I haven’t posted anything for two weeks… I know, two weeks is a long time. What have I been doing in these two weeks you may ask? Visiting my sister and her fiancé in Brooklyn, working, getting settled in our new house, and reading. That’s right, this one took me two full weeks to read.

I have no desire to bring politics into Another Year of Books. I promise not to preach to you if you promise not to preach to me. When I picked up my latest read, there were many reasons and very few were political. The most important one being I heard it was a really well written book.

Not going to lie… my reading has been suffering some. Between buying a house, moving into said house, and running a half marathon, my focus has been on other things. Reading a book of short stories helped some – more stop and go then others.

I’m sure most of you have heard of it. It swept awards shows, Nicole Kidman gave a few speeches, so did Laura Dern. And drumroll please… Meryl will be on season 2 (MERYL!), which takes us to book number 22…
