I did add to my collection of signed caps. This time, the very dour Andy Murray did the honors. Rafa remains elusive.
Back to books,
Here's the latest update. Hope your reading year is as satisfying as mine. I've already compiled quite a list of "favorites."
Have a good weekend.

Children of Paranoia by Trevor Shane is a dystopian novel set in a time when The War is the only thing that matters. Joseph has been killing people on behalf of a cause that he believes in but doesn’t fully understand. The War is governed by a rigid set of rules, and fought by two distinct sides - one good and one evil. The only unknown is which side is which. When Joseph meets Maria, his purpose becomes unimportant, but he’s about to learn that leaving The War can be more dangerous than fighting it. $25.95
