Thanks for the great lists--both gifts and reading. I always enjoy your reading links. 52 books in a year is a very aggressive goal! I’m a huge reader (mostly before bed) and I can only read two books a month if they’re not too thick. I just finished The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff--maybe the most beautifully written book I have read in a long time. (Well, except for Maggie O’Farrell’s books, which are lyrically crafted). Anyway, add Lauren Groff to your list. I will be trying another of her books soon. But hey, no pressure.
ps. I also love train travel (did Milwaukee to Seattle for our honeymoon back in the 90s), and many trips up and down the northeast corridor now that we live back in New England. Why, why, why can’t Amtrak fix the damn WiFi? Oh well, I guess more time for reading Lauren Groff. ;-) Merry Christmas.
