Happy New Year. Hope this one is a happy, healthy, and prosperous one for us all.
I've been out of touch for nearly a week because of dire problems with my computer. All is well now, but for those of you who sent an email to me in the last week, hold on, I'm getting to them in the order they were received.
What's the first book you'll be reading this year? Under the Dome by Stephen King for me!
