Yes but no. I'm getting a book for Christmas, but I ordered it. Long story short, it's been an expensive year so my husband and I didn't buy much for each other (by agreement). I gave him a puzzle and asked him if he could give me the book I'd ordered, which was fine with him. It's Dead Girl Fighting by Ann M. Noser which is the sequel to a book I recently read.

My book hasn't arrived yet, but I have plenty to read in the meantime.

Dorothy  (vilette) | 267 comments I'm reading 'Disobedient'. This is the second biography of Artimesia Gentileschi that I have read. A very interesting woman and talented painter who was not as celebrated as much as other painters because she was a woman.

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 392 comments The Last Devil to Die (Thursday Murder Club, #4) by Richard Osman
The Last Devil to Die is the 4th by Richard Osman in the Thursday Murder Club series.

More emotional than its predecessors now that readers have formed an attachment to the geriatric Fab Four.
