I read Lucky Girl, How I Became A Horror Writer: A Krampus Story. Very weird and creepy story but not bad at only 112 pgs.
Update: Adored Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking!! T. Kingfisher is quickly becoming a favorite author.
I read Red Sparrow, Jason Matthews which won a Thriller Award for Best First Novel in 2014. This was a reread for me as I wanted to see if I had any interest in continuing the series.
Sorry everyone- I had the wrong prompt for this one up. I've fixed it now though.
