I am just back from a week on the Outer Banks, where, though I worked a lot more than I planned, I also read a number of wonderful books. It’s shaping up to be a fabulous year for fiction with a number of books already slated to be added to my Bookreporter.com Bets On list for 2012. I blogged about the first group of books that I read here, and a second blog with the second part of my week’s reading will be posted on Friday.
