A busy, family-oriented Christmas week for us. Also, a look back at this week’s reading and blog posts, and my Christmas book haul!

Time with my family has been great, but the death of a dear friend and mentor hit me hard. Also, a look back at this week’s reading and blog posts, plus the weekly book haul.

The past two weeks included road trip, a death in the extended family, time with Robin, and a visit with my dad & stepmom. Also, a look back at this week’s reading and blog posts, plus the book haul from the past two weeks.
