A book by an author you love but haven't read yet: Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce.
Well, of course this category was going to be by Tammy! I had to save my favorite author for the end. My first thought upon realizing that this book would be about counterfeiting was, "Hm. The Star Wars prequels were about trade disputes, and look how that turned out." But then I remembered that it was Tamora Pierce, and if anyone could make the subject matter interesting, she could. And boy, she did!
Non-challenge book #7: The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George. Translated into English by Simon Pare. Crown Publishers, 2015. Originally published in German by Knaur Verlag, 2013.
This book is lushly romantic and sentimental, bordering on schmoopy, but never quite crossing the line. I really liked it, though I recommend the print. The audio performance I started but never finished left much to be desired.
And that's all, folks! I'll post a year-end summary by the end of the day.
