Of course the holidays brought me wonderful new reading material! I've already mentioned three titles elsewhere, and guess what—my wish list was fulfilled! Now I get to dive into Secret Place by Tana French, plus The Whisper of Night and The Whisper of Fear by Tanja Frei. I'm absolutely thrilled about these additions to my collection!

Just received a delightful package from Eire Publishing—a brand new, hot-off-the-press copy of Murt the Irishman: Tales from Moon Island! As someone who absolutely loves the Emerald Isle, I immediately started reading. The author, Dirk Koch, is a part-time island resident himself and brings such an authentic perspective to these stories that I couldn't wait to explore.
