Some of the books I'll be reading in the new year. We went to our local pub Bushwaller's and ate too much with our Kilkenny pints. Then on to
@curiousiguana.com
I call it pub and book day and I try to do it once a month.

Monday morning shout out to
@curiousiguana.com
! Saturday was my first visit to Frederick and my friend loves it enough to take us there twice in the same day and I see why! The staff was friendly (both shifts) and the free book cart was awesome! Thanks for the additions to my library!
