Love Sipsmith for a negroni (Botanist perhaps even better)

The top 10 includes wondrous magical realism, intimate and introspective stories about love and friendship, characters in search of identity and recognition, sweeping historical fiction - 10 books hard to put down

True gem among them, THE SAFEKEEP - layered, fresh, generous, beautiful

And it’s a wrap for this year

57 novels - a handful more than last year (but slightly fewer pages overall)

Some disappointments here and there, but also some genuine masterpieces for the ages

NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:
