Looks like you had a very successful reading year! Best wishes for 2022!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Happy New Year!
DeleteA resounding year of reading! Good for you!! I think I said that I would read John Adams next year (2022) after your excellent review, which I added it to my list. I'm a little intimidated, but I must put my mind to it. Happy New year!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth. John Adams is an investment of time no doubt, but I can't recommend it highly enough. He's my favorite founding father, and McCullough is a superb biographer. Happy New Year to you and yours!
