Happy New Year, SZ!

Did you find time to read during the busy holiday season? What are you reading now, besides this post? How is it? Any books for the freezer or to throw against the wall?

Question for the month: Do you have any reading goals for the year?

Whether it's a traditional book, graphic novel, audio book, ebook, or whatever it may be, it's time to discuss books!
