I was reading The Rook by Daniel O’Malley, Hannah’s book of the year from 2019 and one Dad enjoyed as well. He was in the hospital but he was reading up a storm and on that last visit, we sat quietly as we both read. The last time I saw my father was less than a week before he died. Before I tell you about my official book of the year, let me tell you about the book that meant the most to me this year and the book that I loved the best. Onto happier matters (aka, driving my brother crazy)! Every year Michael firmly sets down the Book of the Year rules and every year I am forced to break them a little bit, but I edit the newsletter and I am older, so there. We’ve made the very difficult decision to be apart in this strange and awful year, and I hope we can all keep having the strength to make those hard decisions until, as I keep telling Penny, people aren’t sick anymore. I have never in my entire life not been in Winnipeg for Christmas and Christmas at Whodunit? is one of my very favorite times of year. Let me first say how truly devastated I am to not be seeing you all this holiday season.
