I read a lot in January, more than usual. This makes me happy as I’m always trying to read more. It helped that it’s been absolutely frigid and hard to leave the house (see? I’m trying to be positive about -4 degree temps). All fantastic reads:Mr. Dickens and His Carol by Samantha Silva. Historical Fiction. 1843 London. Christmas is approaching and Charles Dickens is facing a terrifying writer’s slump. Bills are piling up. The threat of bankruptcy, shame, and “the poor house” is looming.
