Biggest Disappointments: A Frog in the Fjord — I thought I’d love a story about a French woman spending a year in Norway, but the author’s tone was quite negative. | Daisy Jones & the Six — I just couldn’t connect with any of the characters. I wonder if I would like the Prime series more than the book, but let’s be honest, that rarely happens.
Favorite Books this Year: Peanuts Jubilee: My Life and Art with Charlie Brown and Others and The Peanuts Guide to Christmas by Charles M. Schulz — the Peanuts are a perfect way to start and end the year.
