I have read a lot this year. Most were good. Some I wanted to throw into a hole. Then throw the hole into the sun. Then throw the sun into a black hole. But there were quite a few that stood out as fantastic, amazing, wonderful, and I will never stop telling people to read. That's what this list is about.
It's December. Christmas is barreling down on us faster than my husband on homemade fudge. (OK, me too.) This week has been a little crazy in the Baldwin homestead.
