I need to check back to your blog to remind myself of your challenges this year. I seem to recall seeing at least one!<br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-9889534399824117122014-01-03T14:55:39.883-05:002014-01-03T14:55:39.883-05:00Judith, thanks again for linking to my posts.

I love your story about the dog that you sat and read with in 2011. 44 or 46 books sounds fine to me. I like to aim at 1 a week but some years I have been a lot over that and some years a lot under. Depends on what is going on.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-80820523749178384602014-01-02T20:02:40.130-05:002014-01-02T20:02:40.130-05:00Oh, you will love Demian, especially if you are pa...Oh, you will love Demian, especially if you are partial to Steppenwolf. I must read Steppenwolf again--I loved it so much when I was 20. Do read it asap, and when you're able. It is magnificent. And I'm so glad you have followed the tradition of never taking the tree down before January 6. And a wonderful reading New Year to you!<br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-84727277029696723442014-01-02T19:59:26.479-05:002014-01-02T19:59:26.479-05:00Katrina,

Next year, as long as I'm not teaching, I'd love to make more of a deal of the holidays. <br />And, yes, Oven Mountain. How dull indeed. For our local unnamed hills, in your honor, I'd like to be extremely creative in giving them names.<br />I hope the New Year will find you in a beautiful new home and community!!!

I have just been writing a biographical essay about him and the events that led up to his writing Steppenwolf and he is very much in my mind and heart. He is a wonderful author in all sorts of ways. Demian is actually one of his novels I haven't read, and I must do something about that next year! In my family, we never took the tree down until 12th night, so you are not alone in wanting to adhere to that tradition! A very happy New Year to you.

I've been surprised that Christmas seems to be such a small holiday in the US compared with in the UK, although in Scotland we make even more of Hogmanay and New Year festivities. Lovely photo of Oven Mountain, but dearie me what a name, there's nae romance in the US it would seem!Katrinahttp://piningforthewest.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543676375857581295.post-55493234108146196002013-12-31T09:10:55.950-05:002013-12-31T09:10:55.950-05:00I hope The Lie, Dunmore's new novel will be ju...I hope The Lie, Dunmore's new novel will be just as good.
