Old year out, new year coming in!

Well 2016 is winding down. Christmas was fairly quiet with my children and their dogs (three that get along pretty well). Tree hasn't lost many needles and is still drinking. Always a good sign. New Year's Eve will be quiet. Not my favorite holiday. Busy catching up and trying to organize papers and calendars. I did manage to make my Goodreads challenge this year. I am currently reading The Bronze Horseman, another book on the Leningrad siege. Historical fiction, romance. So far so good. It is a long book and it is due January 4th so I really need to read steadily (not sure I can renew it as it is from another library).

I did finish Lab Girl the next book club selection. I had a difficult time getting into the book. Having done molecular biological research for many years it was interesting and the set up was unique. But the story itself I found slow. Glad I read it. It is on so many "to read" lists of 2016. I will continue with Her Spyness series

and found another mystery series set in England at the start of WWII- Mr, Churchill's Secretary.

There seems to a theme here!
