Yesterday I took a mental health day off and finally finished Flashman at the Charge. A good book, but it was starting to feel like a slog because I only had time to read for a few minutes every few days! I’m going to get a fresh grip on my New Year’s resolution and start reading every day.

I also got a good start on The Distant Hours, by Kate Morton. This book involves an English castle, a long-lost letter, a children’s book author, madness, family secrets, etc. I’m having a glorious time so far. 🙂
