new links: Friday's "Forgotten" Books: a slightly less abbreviated year's end edition

A 37th Anniversary...

Patti Abbott and many of the regulars are taking this week off, but not all...never all! So, a shorter list than is usual, or than we're likely to see next week, when I'll host again, and Patti will be back to hosting for the second January gathering.
