Sunday Salon: Reading, Read, To Read #52

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a great Christmas! Did you get any books?! I am delighted with my new Anthony Trollope novels and Dorothy Sayers mysteries.

There have been several new challenges announced in the past few weeks that are tempting to me. Among them, the "I'm Mad for Maisie" read-a-long at Book Club Girl and Red Headed Book Child's A-Z Mystery Author Challenge. And I just discovered the Wordsworth Classics Reading Challenge.
