I've still been surpassing my reading challenge - I pledged 55 and at 64!
I'm still reading Santa's on His Way; I started the fourth (last) story yesterday. It's been very formulaic but a decent diversion. I finished Elizabeth Berg's The Confession Club. I find Berg's style similar to Anne Tyler, but I like Berg better (Tyler can get too meandering and pointless for me). This book was a nominal sequel (same setting, some same characters) to The Story of Arthur Truluv and A Night of Miracles - I especially loved the latter, maybe because I read it first. I also just finished Matthew Sanford's memoir, Waking. I'm going to go to the library after work today and see if they have any other holiday-themed books that look good.

I know, it was definitely just IMHO. I do really like some of her work.

I finished the Joyce Maynard book and liked it, but it was about 100 pages too long. I will start Dave Grohl's book tonight.

Wow Pam, great numbers! I might set my goal for 60 next year; not sure I could get to 100.
Yeah, Santa's On His Way is an amusing diversion at best, although I am enjoying the 4th story a bit more. I diverted myself too (by reading The Confession Club, which I already had from the library).

I am friends with Beth & a few other VFers on Goodreads
Here’s a link to my profile: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/38613696-pam-rogers ETA Beth - Between Covid and retirement, I had a lot of time to read, lol. A lot of my books are audio, listen while I putter, exercise, or do chores.
