The first thing I read this year was a John Cheever short story, "The Pot of Gold". The second was a re-read of The Hobbit. The third was an audiobook mystery, Guilt and Ginataan by Mia P. Manansala. Now I am reading Glinda of Oz. Tomorrow the first of this years books release and I will pick one to purchase as my first new book of the year.
What about you? What are you reading?

@pussreboots @bookstodon I finished "The Once and Future King" and started right in. The return of Merlyn and his lessons feels like the correct wrapper for the tragedy that is the inner three books.

@takeonrules @pussreboots @bookstodon the once and future king is among my all time favorite books. So much so that as a kid in high school in the 1980’s I collected the original volumes that were later collected to the make that book. One of the many things I learned in doing so is how the original books were somewhat designed as for kids/young adults while the collected work somehow feels more serious. I have a small collection now of T.H. White books (many first editions!) still on my shelves
