Happy New Year! I'm Dee in the Coachella Valley area of SoCal. Retired, sometime library volunteer. My fav genres are psych thrillers & women’s fiction, but I read a bit of everything - and a lot of new releases yearly. I also participate in quite a few reading challenges & am really looking forward to the ones here :)
