Looking forward to this challenge throughout this year"

I listened to the audio of Daisy Jones for this months challenge too. I liked it but thought The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was better.

Yep! That works just great.

I know someone who is doing a Japan in January personal reading challenge. I'll have to see if she's read this one.
